ABC Wednesday! Yes Yes I know I am early!

Continuing with my theme of writing about what is close to my heart, appreciating what is around me I can honestly say B is for BUSY BUSY BUSY! Andrew's Birthday was a great day and I cooked a lovely family dinner. Andrew loves my mashed potatoes. I cooked rib of beef...awesome. My typical day starts at 7am when we get up and I make Jon a cooked breakfast to put a lining on his stomach for the day's work ahead of him at the workshop. After Jon has left for the workshop it is housework time, washing machine loading etc etc. At 10.15 I go to the workshop, just 5 minutes away and take Jon his snack. Over a cup of tea we always play the Radio 2 Popmaster quiz at 10.30. I am on a role at the moment and have beaten Jon every day except one! LOL! After the quiz, around 11 I drive to the beach with Wilma and spend anything up to an hour racing around throwing the ball in an effort to tire her out. Home in time to prepare Jon's midday snack, usually something like a sandwich. Jon returns to the workshop and takes Wilma, I am left with Elsie who is content to lay by the door whilst I get on with whatever jobs I haveplanned to do. Yesterday I was dealing with some telephone calls re Jon's business, setting up appointments etc so I multi-tasked and had a big cooking session whilst I was on the phone. I am a huge fan of menu planning and produced... 7 beef curries 5 portions of sausages in onion & mushroom gravr, 5 chicken stirfries moroccan style 5 spicy pork steaks in sauce 5 pasta bakes 5 mince & onions These are all now portioned up and in the freezer. No more main meal cooking for 32 days which will take me well into February. Today my afternoon job is to start on my current wedding commission which I need to complete by the weekend ready for them to be delivered. Tomorrow afternoon we have a village funeral to go to. Sadly one of our neighbours died last week. It is sad and her husband is devestated, alongside other neighbours we will go to the church to support Les and his family. Thursday, we have a very important business meeting re Jon over in Darlington. We are excited about this, it is a very significant possibility for future work. Infact meeting new custiomers is always exciting, it is what business is all about. Friday there is a possibility we may have to travel to Lancashire, again regarding new business for Jon's business. All of these are important and significant to me and I appreciate them all. Working with Brides, Business, Busy busy busy. Oh and I am co-ordinating a Wedding Fayre for March. I have a new bride to meet on Friday evening and once I have delivered the current wedding commission I am working on I have another one to start and complete asap. I must admit I have not been able to find time to comment on many blogs but I do hope people appreciate what is going on right now. To see more posts, visit the ABC Blog here Have a good Wednesday! Dx
