.......... doesn't sound too appetising, but refrigerator oatmeal sounds a bit better. As I resolutely avoid Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Pinterest, I am usually lagging behind the latest buzz, but thanks to Thimbleanna providing a link on her blog, I read this post and decided that it sounded quite tasty. So I prepared some on Tuesday afternoon that we thoroughly enjoyed for breakfast yesterday ....... in fact we enjoyed it so much I made it again yesterday afternoon, with these ingredients
it should also have chia seeds in it - but I have no idea what they are (probably the latest superfood which cure all ills). This is the oatmeal all shaken up and ready to go in the fridge overnight
I don't normally eat my breakfast from my footstool! It was raining and the room was gloomy, so I took the jar over to the window to get better light for the photo. As you can see, the breakfast is lovely and thick and creamy ....... and you can simply eat it from the jar, saving on washing up!
we had a cuppa in Cafe Crema in Berwick before we came home. As this is a "fast" day, I had to watch Malcolm tuck into the most delicious cheese and pickle scone ...... he took pity on me and gave me a little bit!
Malcolm gave me a shout this afternoon to come and see what he had disvovered when he was deadheading the rose on the pergola. A rather scary caterpillar
I would much rather see the resulting butterflies, which were enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine
I know we are still in August, but it won't be long until Christmas (!), so I thought I had better make a start to my Christmas sewing. I looked out these three patterns
and made a start to stitching the first one last night
it's a special day for us tomorrow - but you will have to wait until then to find out why!
