A constructive day yesterday.
Managed to do the filing with Nancy's help, then some writing. A new neighbour friend popped in for a cuppa. Called Dennis, the washing machine fixer again as the machine was leaking. After putting a wash on an hour before his arrival, sadly he found no leaks. 20 minutes after he left, the damn thing leaked. It's always the way! Have to monitor it and do some statistics before Dennis comes out again to see what part of the cycle the leak occurs.
Made 6 mini lemon Pamlovas (the name was Taff's idea :)) - a small pavlova meringue filled with homemade lemon meringue pie filling, topped with cream. Although I used castor sugar for the pavlova, I did substitute some of the sugar with Stevia for the filling. Taff had 1, then distributed the remainder to neighbour friends which brought a smile on their faces. Did warn them they were an experiment and the filling might be a little lumpy. Taff, the chief taster downed his straight away, so they can't have been all that bad. Realised that the original lemon meringue pie must have been an old fashioned recipe, as managed to use up the 3 egg yolks left over from doing the pavlova, thus no wastage but no custard.
Had some TV time with Taff and Nancy watching the second episode of 'True Detective' starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Also finished watching The Voice. Went to bed later than usual hence why I've got up slightly later today. Shan't be going back to bed now, which means I can crack on with writing.
Diet going OK. Almost choked on a piece of fatty gristle from some sliced beef. Must have been the cow getting its own back.
