this and that
Middle and I engaged in some thumb wrestling. We probably haven't thumb wrestled since he was small and we were waiting for a meal in a restaurant.
(post wrestle) Exhausted hands.
He claims I won. I think he may have thrown the match.
Then, I made mustard. It's so easy (if you have mustard powder). Kinda hot! I like it with steak.
K made warm potato salad with watercress from the same food blog as the blueberry buckle. I could have eaten the entire bowl.
The upstairs loo has no door! It DID have a terrible door that did not match the rest of the house - hollow feeling and cheap. Our neighbors are renovating and replacing some of their doors and K snagged a nice, old, heavy door. He's refinishing it and, while he does, we are doorless. He re-installs it at night, thank heavens.
We have the AC in there. Too complicated to explain. No place else to put it. BUT...
the honeysuckle vine from outside the kitchen door is creeping around it and I like the way it looks...BUT...
IT IS ENCROACHING! I know K will immediately react by clipping it so I'm not telling him right away. I like it.
(I've just realized he reads this.)
DON'T SNIP IT K!
We trudged off to the Giant Store this morning. Not our favorite thing but we needed napkins and zip bags and...erm...something else that is well purchased at the Giant Store (can't remember).
We saw:
the umbrellas which were all the rage at the beach last week. Ten dollars cheaper than we had seen them online ($39). VERY heavy to carry though they seemed wonderfully effective at shading and shielding.
the most wonderful cooler.
this fabulous camping oven/stove!
I ALMOST think I could go camping with it!
(I WOULD NEVER.)
I could build the sweetest tiny kitchen with that stove and cooler.
Perhaps in my secret cabin by the sea.
I'll keep you posted.

PS,
have you tried the mustard at McSorely's? to die for.
I like how you observe the Giant Store's wish to remain anonymous on the internet.

Is that honeysuckle cut back yet? Wouldn't last five minutes at my place before my Pete trimmed it.
And I want that Eski and that camp oven. WANT. Actually, not really the oven, but definitely the Eski.
And you? You would go camping with us and LOVE if. LUFF it even.
I'm also kind of coveting that sink in your upstairs bathroom. And that light fitting.
The honeysuckle gives me the heebie jeebies though. Snip away K, I say, snip away.
Can you tell we haven't been on a holiday since Easter '09?
I like the honeysuckle, don't snip K!
(Now we're going to be divided: PRO SNIP and AGAINST SNIP)
Hi you! Sorry I've been such a slacker lately.
What a bathroom!
What a vine!
Also, I love vines that creep into houses. Josh is just like K, he will not stand for it! What is it with these men?
