Well dinner went very well on Tuesday. It was a young man from our previous church and his girlfriend (who's Latvian). He's feeling he's got a call to the ministry and wanted to chat with P about it. Girlfriend was really lovely and they were both easy to talk to. P made starter of buckwheat pancakes with salmon filling with pickled onions and capers and mushrooms with garlic. Apparently it's a Latvian dish but she said she'd never had it before but she did live near the Russian border so had more of a Russian cuisine. (If Natasha's (piano teacher) car hadn't broken down we'd have had two Russian speakers in our house on same day). Anyway it was delicious. Then we had stuffed chicken (homemade stuffing) and chocolate steamed pudding. Yum. Had an email from him saying they'd like to come again sometime!
J was helpful in tidying up and I got him to work with the Dyson although he did say 'What's the point of hoovering up dust you can't see?'
'Just get on with it!'
All my tidying efforts have made my feet hurt so can hardly walk today. Never mind.
P is working on our floor as in sanding it and filling in gaps (long story). Horrible noise and dust everywhere but really good to get it done.
Lovely sunny day today but weather warning of storms coming.
I've been the same weight for 4 weeks despite trying to be 'good' but today had lost a pound! Yay!
P out planting daffodils in our drive. Neighbour's cat whom I call 'Patch' sitting sunning himself outside our window.
So much to be thankful for.
