After just a couple of days here I feel so much healthier
and so much happier. It’s almost as though my body and my mind had forgotten
what this state was like and has suddenly reawakened. I’d definitely got used
to abnormality.
Anyway, today was the compulsory last minute trip to the
shops to get the vegetables that wouldn’t last if they were bought any earlier.
My parents somehow managed to convince me that my father’s van wasn’t like
normal vans and so I consented to doing the hour long journey in the van, in a
storm. Yep, I felt sick the whole way. Why vans make me feel ill when no other
mode of transport does will never fail to confuse me!
The shopping wasn’t as hectic as I’d expected. A lot of
(sensible) people had, it seems, been put off by the weather. That said, the
queue was about an hour and a half long. I’m really not complaining about that
in the slightest. It’s amazing how everyone starts to chat in those
circumstances and how no-one tries to push in even though the line was snaking
around two and a half isles…
I then went to drop Aimee’s gift round even though she’s not
contacted me properly in forever and has been messing me about again. Turned
out that she’s been having a bit of a tough time so I couldn’t be angry with
her even though I wanted to be. In fact, I feel guilty that I couldn’t stay to
give the needed hugs. I know that, no matter how annoying she might be, Aimee
is always going to be family and I really do miss her. Urgh, soppiness over!
Returning back to the cottage, today was baking day. I don’t
know why I made gingerbread again this year because it never goes right. My
first ever attempt was tooth breaking. I’ve made a fair few successful batches
in the years since but the dough never binds and therefore I kinda smush it
together and my gingerbread’s highly unattractive.
Pretty pleased with my quiche though ;-)
