Wednesday round up

That little Coco is fast becoming a cheeky little whatsit -it's my day off from work today and  I was 'busy' sorting out my scavenger pictures on the computer when I suddenly thought that it had gone quiet and that I wasn't aware of her prowling around.  Looked downstairs for her, but she was nowhere to be seen, so then I came back upstairs and opened the door to my bedroom,  just a little ...

She's brought one of her toys up with her (little white sheep at end of bed), rearranged the cushions and settled herself down for an afternoon nap!
I need to get myself organised to do a bit more scrapbooking but am busy following the decluttering routine.  I didn't have to bother with the time spent 'cleaning the ceiling fan', no need for those in deepest, darkest Hertfordshire!  
So as I had time to spare, I got into cooking mode down in the kitchen.  Currently roasting a joint of pork belly for tonight's tea whilst also cooking a beef casserole for reheating tomorrow.  But I've also started off a batch of raspberry gin which I've never made before.  We spent the afternoon at P's cousin's house on Sunday and his wife makes all manner of fruit based spirit drinks and having tried a few (hic!) I decided that raspberry gin was my favourite.  I normally make a batch of sloe gin ready for Christmas, but last year either it was a bad year for sloes or everyone else picked them before I went out.  So, before the shops could empty themselves of raspberries I decided to try something different.  Then my son asked if I could make a lemon cake - and as he's only got two weeks left at home, how could I say no?  Then I thought that maybe I could make some cupcakes for my daughter ...

Day off?  Feels like I've been pretty busy to me!
