A white Monday


It’s a white morning today. The lawns are covered with frost. A couple of acers stand out in their brilliant red autumnal foliage. The winter jasmine is yellow against the fence. The autumn colour is still with us but winter is fast approaching. From the chill today I suspect we’re in for a long hard winter. Mind you I thought that when I saw how many berries there were on the rowans as summer came to an end.

Once more we get back into going into Lancaster. Today we’ve got other chores to sort as well as the hospital. The car has flagged up a warning about the tyre pressure. With a Motability car that means a trip into Kwikfit, the nearest being Lancaster. We’ve also seen on-line a cruise we fancy for next year so we want to get the brochure to look more carefully, again Lancaster.

With this in mind I’ve prepared a quick dinner. Some chicken croquettes. I’ve adapted a turkey recipe. I’m using cooked chicken instead of cooked turkey. I’m not quite sure what it will taste like as it looks as though the chicken may have been cooked with some chilli by the red flecks on the meat. I’m also adding some leftover date & herb stuffing. So it’s going to be quite an amalgam of flavours. Still it means just a quick fry up this evening. Nothing too demanding.
