Doing Nothing

Glad we got lots done while the weather was behaving

Hello! How is everyones weekend going?

I woke to the sound of rain bucketing down, so I didn’t hurry out of my warm bed.

I then managed to stay in my nightie for a disgracefully long time today before finally stirring myself to get dressed! It was lovely!

Going out to feed the chickens and water some of the hothouse plants – Got very soggy very quickly!

I did have a couple of outside tasks – I didn’t tarry tho! It just wasn’t nice to be out there.

The flowers look nice in the rain… and are probably enjoying a prolonged drink

I managed to bake a chocolate cake – slightly sad I discovered I had no icing sugar to finish the job! Oh well.

A rest day was great after hauling all those rocks about and digging. So I am not going to whinge and complain about the continual bucketing rain!

Hope your weekend is super!

Cheers

    1. lol – shock horror!! I am running out of jam too! Time to dive into the freezer and pull out a tub of frozen plums!! πŸ™‚

  1. Nothing like chocolate cake to brighten a rainy day! If you have some milk, coconut, butter and brown sugar you can make a nice broiled topping, german chocolate cake style πŸ˜‰ Jam sounds yummy too!

    1. Or ice cream??? Never a shortage of ice cream in this household (My husband has an addiction)
      Probably by the time I work something out the cake will be gone. haha Its already half disappeared!!!
      Speaking of cake… mmmmmm is midnight a bad time to scoff uniced chocolate cake?? πŸ˜€

  2. Peanut butter hello?! In regards to chocolate cake topping sorry hehe! New reader here, transplant from Mavis’s blog! πŸ™‚ I just had to comment that your little bridge is gorgeous! I feel inspired to add one to my tiny yard, though I think the HOA might beg to differ! πŸ˜›

    1. LOL – I am going to have to admit that I am not that adventurous with my chocolate cake!!! (And how cross at myself was I today by going to the supermarket and failing to remember the icing sugar?? hee hee)
      Welcome to my blog, so glad you have joined in!
      Thanks for the feedback on the little bridge!! I wasn’t sure if it would look silly or not, but I quite like it in its new spot. I even use it quite a bit when dashing down the back! ooooo I am glad we don’t have HOA’s!!!! I love just getting ideas and trying them out!! πŸ™‚
      Have a lovely day!
