My annual leave comes to an end today. I'll be off to work this afternoon.
It's been a good week, with busy times and slow times. I've cleaned and tidied, cooked and baked, reorganised and sorted.
I had thought I might be very busy with my sewing machine, but that didn't happen, instead I picked up my cross stitch and had some slow stitching days. So my brothers regiment badge went from this..
To this.
Not finished, but very close.
I'm pleased with my achievement and will hopefully get a chance to do a little more today before I head in to work.
I was busy in the kitchen again this morning, making a lemon and weetbix slice.
I had to try a piece, to make sure it's good enough for Tony to eat. LOL
It has a lovely flapjacky texture and flavour with an amazingly lemony icing.
It is delicious.
I also made a big bowl of coleslaw to keep us going for a day or two and tomato sauce for the freezer.
That's it, my days chores and responsibilities are almost done. The only thing left to do is cook some lunch for Tony.
As it's too early to do that, I might go and pick up my needle.

You did make good progress with the cross stitch. How will you finish it off once done? I made a lemon weetbix slice recently. It sounds very similar.
Well done on the cross stitch! I used to make a chocolate weetbix slice.....haven't made it for a very long time. I remember it had to be cut while warm, because a knife wouldn't go through once it had cooled and hardened.
All that baking sounds delicious. Happy cross stitching
