Monday Monday

I have had a brilliant day today. I woke early because I had decided enough was enough and my kitchen just had to be done properly. I paced myself doing small amounts then sitting with a cuppa and a little play on the computer. I've turned this



into this



and this



Normally my surfaces are so cluttered I loose heart and just tidy where I need to work

I've also made some pastry and used the left over lamb from yesterday to make a lamb & chutney plait, also a sausage & mushroom flan and some jam tart. (I haven't made pastry for months and months)

Today we are thinking about our feet, how much we take them for grated until we have something go wrong. When I first did this challenge I had spur heel and know what it's like to not be able to walk without pain. Today I have been free of the pain for several years and hoping that it never comes back.
I thought to start with I might as well take a photo of my feet and realised that I very seldom go barefooted. Mainly because it was instilled in my as a child that it wasn't a wise thing to do indoors as Mum being a dressmaker was always dropping the odd pin and Dad being a builder and decorator had been know to loose a nail or screw and bare feet are very prone to finding these items.
I hadn't thought of the reason at all but the question about feet made me do so, therefore my page today has my summer slippers



It has been a glorious day weather wise too and I went out into the lane to see if there were any autumn colours about, but no everything is still very green. But I did get some good photos of two of my cats and this one is my 'As Seen' for today

Thank you Lord for an uplifting day.
