..... look away now! We went up to Galashiels this morning, as Malcolm wanted to go to B&Q to buy more insulation for the loft - he has gradually been adding an extra layer, which is a big job as, because it is a single storey house, we have a lot of loft!! Once that was purchased, and we had done a little bit of shopping, we had to decide where to go for lunch. We could have had a delightful burger from the van which is always parked in B&Q's carpark ......
or we could have visited a certain well known fast-food chain (if you torture me I will admit that I am partial to a Big Mac ....... in fact you don't have to torture me, just tickle my feet!!)
However, good taste prevailed, and we went to Lochcarron, where we had the most wonderful Thai chicken soup, with cheese and onion bread
Back home, I quickly put the shopping away, before heading put for knit'n'natter ..... but I did take a moment to take aphoto of the new pots of herbs that I had bought for the kitchen windowsill ......
...... and yet another photo of this fabulous orchid
When I was in Kelso for knit'n'natter, I bought this month's Good Food magazine. It was in a package which contained this calendar ......
....... and a recipe card for a choclate cheesecake, which I won't be tempted to make as it made with white chocolate, which I really don't like!
I hadn't yet decided what to knit with my lovely laceweight yarn, after frogging the shawl I had started, but then I saw this pretty scarf. The pattern does look a little bit complicated, so I may just knit a little swatch first!
A silly photo to finish! I took this first thing this morning through the back bedroom window. It may look as if the sheep is standing on top of the wall, but really it is in the field behind the house!
