SUNDAY

I overslept this morning but was up and working in the garden at 7 a.m.  I wanted to plant some Borage that I had raised from seed and a few Lobelia but had to do some weeding and clearing beforehand.  I got it done, had breakfast and did a few other jobs before we went to the Gym at 11 a.m.  

When we got home we had lunch - a couple of years ago I bought a "spiriliser" to make courgettes into something like spaghetti.  I don't think I used it last year but last week decided to try it again and it was a great hit.  I saute the result with a little garlic and we have had it with scallops and today with a Bolognese style sauce.  It makes a pleasant change from g.f. pasta.

It reached 26° so we did a couple of indoor jobs before watching what was supposed to be the Christmas Race of the America's Cup but was finally abandoned due to lack of wind.

Both then went out to water and eldest daughter turned up - she had just left when youngest daughter arrived to pick up a spare table for Christmas Day. She stayed for a catch up and by the time she left we had missed the first part of the news so I don't know any more about the cyclone that hit Fiji.  We have just had a light meal and watched the final episode of Country Calendar and it is almost time for an early night.  Tomorrow is another day......
