Clearing and cleaning

Today, has been a relatively busy day here however I do not seem to have made as much progress as I had hoped.  My arm is kicking off a bit, which is hampering me with lifting and doing stuff so am trying to tackle jobs that I can do just to get them out of the way with.

My computer/working desk has been cleared and wiped down today and I have re-organised the desk a little bit as I keep some of my books along the back edge of the desk at the moment. They have been dusted down too. Presently, I am going through a pile of paperwork just to get rid of as much of it as I can. Some of the paperwork is for recipes which I need for my folder and which need to be handwritten out again on my working pad for the kitchen.  I have started doing this in order that my books do not get messed up.  I don't mind a pad being mussed up but a book is a different kettle of fish.  The books are a bit all over the place at the moment (some in each room) and I really need to get them back into the front room eventually but that will be a little while off yet.

We have had a scratch tea this evening, due to the fact that I have been working away and was half-way through a job.  So grilled sausages and tinned tomatoes it was.  We tend to grill the sausages as they are very fatty and it helps get rid of some of the excess fat.  This is a very simple scratch tea where I used a tin of plum tomatoes and also a tin of chopped tomatoes, some white pepper liberally sprinkled through and a 1lb of thick fat sausages grilled (about 8).  After the sausages have coloured I add the tomatoes to the tray and cook until nice and hot.  Makes a tasty tea served with either plain bread or bread and butter to mop up the juices.  Something that my Mum used to do on a regular basis for a Saturday night tea.  Happy days.

All served up and ready to eat.

Makes a quick but tasty tea especially if you have things to do or places to go.

Right must get on.  No peace for the wicked!

Catch you soon.
