Good Morning!

It is overcast at the moment with a partly sunny sky predicted with the high of 52 and the low of 36.

Meatloaf, baked sweet potatoes and corn will be dinner.

What will you be having?

Just took the dog out to work on training when its a heavy traffic time. We made it a full block before he got to panicky and had to come home. It took 30 min and 4 pockets full of milk bone but he is worn out. Really he just woke up bouncing off the walls and was so annoying. I figured it would do my fat rump some good to walk anyhow. I think I am just as worn out.

Planning on smash burgers on the flat top if weather permits. If its yucky out Sheppard's pie sounds really good.

We did our shopping today. Amazing how much a man's mood can change when directed into a try-on booth in a clothing store. He had complaints at the ready... booth is too small, pants are too long, why do I have to take my shoes off, etc. etc. I didn't listen beyond that point. Fortunately I estimated the correct size and he only needed to try on three pairs of pants. We calmed his demeanor by having Macca's icecream cones afterwards.

I saw a really nice butcher shop as we were leaving the shopping centre/mall so I purchased some meat to leave in the freezer until we get home. I got lamb chops to make another Irish stew and some pork spareribs. When we got back to Gawler I went to Drakes supermarket and bought sliced ham to take with us on our journey... I'll buy fresh bread in the morning and make sandwiches. I was excited when I saw some sweet biscuits on their website and I've been craving them for a long time. I saw on the shelf where they were supposed to be but there was an OUT OF STOCK sign... I'm going to have to try one of the recipes that I found on Pinterest.

For dinner we just cleaned out the fridge. John had mashed potato, peas and hot dogs (no bread); I had a hot dog (no bread) with pasta salad.

For the rest of the evening I'll be shortening John's new pants by about 10 inches.

No rain today, but on cool side, fire is blazing away in the woodstove.
We will have our steak BBQ today. DD and her hubby were to come for dinner, but apparently they are both really sick....sounds like flu? They have both tested negative. They have been house sitting for 12 weeks for friends that have a beautiful lake house...nearby to us which is great. Now, we won't be seeing them as often as they will be moving back to city (2 1/2 hrs away) and come up on wknds. They are really hoping to find a cottage to rent for the summer, but its virtually impossible and sooooo expensive! The one house they were looking at was $40,000.

Wow! Is that per month?

It’s been kind of sprinkly most of the day with some wind. I had to bump up the thermostat a couple of degrees. I’ve been taking it easy today, just wasn’t feeling the least bit ambitious, and that’s OK.

I’m finishing up the Chianti pot roast and tortellini and having some garlic bread with it for dinner.
