Who can resist an ego boost?

Today we've been for a walk to the local nature reserve. There were baby swans there, seven of them, and they were gorgeous! We've also visited nanna and checked out a new farm shop that's just opened. They had some very yummy stuff there but also slightly expensive so any purchases had to wait, but I have my eye on the mushroom sauce and mint gravy. Talking of, I'm going to make some mint sauce soon. We've got a load growing in the garden and I've been saving jars, so, that's something I'm going to try. Our garden is looking so good right now, we've been harvesting and eating courgettes, spring onions and sugar snap peas, and have tomatoes, chillies, cucumbers and peppers growing at an amazing rate. Sadly, my chives are still a tray of soil, I suspect I may have to give up on them.

Other than that, James' bug bites turned nasty and he got a really bad case of celluitis in both arms and has been off work for the week. Which meant doctors visits practically daily and many combinations of medicines and creams until they finally found one that kicked in. He's got another appointment tomorrow morning and hopefully will be cleared for work.

I was reading on a cooking blog how frozen bananas put in a food processor end up tasting like soft serve ice cream. They lie! Admittedly, it tastes nice, but it's no ice cream. Maybe if chocolate or cream was added, but I suspect that's missing the point.

Fannishly, I love Pete's amazing and very weird eye patch

To end. Baaaaa.
