Saturday: A Very Rainy Day

The title says it all …

Yesterday afternoon I wasn’t feeling very well, tiredness, lack of appetite and general flu symptoms - a good night’s sleep sorted me out BUT by breakfast time MrD was complaining of similar symptoms :-((

I haven’t made my “special soup” this winter but today it was definitely required:
Large soup pan, freshly chopped onion fried gently in lots of olive oil. Chopped fresh carrots and potato, add frozen courgette/broad beans/peas. Half pint of split red lentils soaked for an hour in boiling water then rinsed and drained. Seasoning: black pepper, salt, mixed herbs, garlic granules, tomato juice. Cover with water and bring to the boil, then simmer until everything cooked.

ADDED LATER: in our house soup has to include some fresh kale leaves from the garden, just a few baby leaves chopped very finely :-)

We both enjoyed our soup then had a relaxing afternoon watching

and later on started watching “The Durrells” on Netflix

A very good choice of entertainment to take our minds off the torrential rain which is set to continue all day tomorrow too :-((

Happy Weekend everyone 

Love and hugs to all my family XXXX XXX XX
