Relax!


Sunrise looking like sunset


And the Oily One thinking of what we should do today...


 We had a visit to Nae Sae New in Mauchline...no Haynes manuals that he needed....and a couple of small but interesting and possibly useful hand tools for me.


Then to Ayr to pick up a thermostat for my car which he can fit tomorrow.

A modicum of fresh veg shopping for him to make supper.....

Which was roasted veges...small potatoes, some parsnip, yellow beetroot (thankyou garden) a couple of garlic bulbs (") and sections of a small white squash (seeds now saved) and steamed carrots and sprouts....my contribution to the meal...tomato mushroom garlic and olive sauce from the freezer!!


He has moved on from having three meals on his menu list fifteen years ago.. curry, pasta with tomato sauce and pizza!!

We are in the inbetween Christmas and new year. Simple and slow is definitely the way to go

You must have your camera hanging at the back door ready for action.

Beautiful sky, and your veggies sound delicious!

Maybe it is something I missed. Why do you refer to him as the Oily one? Is he a car mechanic? He is a handsome young man, and I'm sure it is wonderful to have him home for a bit. Your last paragraph made me laugh. I remember the difficulty in keeping teenaged boys fed.

How lovely to spend time with him, and enjoy sharing the cooking.

I use my mobile phone!

Over the past ten or more years he has moved from veggie to vegan...and has improved his catering!

Debby he has always been good with things mechanical.. although he would also make a good potter, but wasn't interested.
He has worked as a bike mechanic, but now it is his hobby.
If you notice my Sun rug in photos...oiliness had a habit of coming indoors....
