Was planning to have an easy day once the dreaded shopping was done but then by after lunch I didn't feel too tired so thought I might as well do that wee bit of weeding around the beans & tomatoes.
Turned out to take quite a bit longer than I'd thought but still wasn't too tired so decided to make a couple of peach strudel thingys since I'd bought a tin of peaches. Made the first without a problem but alas when I came to make the second, discovered that I'd somehow taken two sheets of pastry out of the freezer & naturally the damn thing was defrosted.
Oh joy - no peaches left so had to scrabble through the top cupboard in a vain attempt to find another tin of peaches or anything which might do. Eventually right at the very back (naturally!) there was a small tin of stewed apples so hurriedly made that & slung it in the oven, muttering that it had better damn well cook quickly if it knew what was good for it.
So obviously now I'm knackered - & my favourite Sci Fi, Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams is on tonight.
At 11. Till midnight..staying awake might be interesting.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
