Pinch an' a punch

for the first of the month, July already. We have been in lock down for 12 weeks of this year........

Dull morning, a few bursts of sun, but very weak, rain is due later, the wind is still blowing a hoolie.

Did some more at the angels, not without problems. The first two sewed perfectly, the third, messed up on the last bit grrrrrr...... no idea why this happens, no threads caught or anything, check the bobbin case every time before I start. I am going to look for a different design once this lot are finished, I have another 4 to go for this set.

You do not have to look far to see the mess!!! Another angel bits the dust.

I have towels to wash but they can wait until tomorrow. I did manage to do the ironing yesterday.....I had lost a pillow case, found it in the duvet cover....all creased up. Quick spray of starch soon altered that.

Beef stew tonight, I suspect with dumpling and veg. DB picked a dish full of raspberries yesterday and I pulled a few sticks of rhubarb, its cooked, just deciding what to do with it.

Just could not resist cutting these three buds. DB was dead heading.

Tonights supper, beef stew, herb dumpling, cabbage and cauliflower. The stew cooked in the PKP this morning, with onion, carrot and sweetcorn. In a casserole pan on the stove, as soon as it was bubbling I added the dumpling and turned the heat down. 35 minutes and supper was ready. I cook my veg in the steamer, cabbage does not stink the house out then. It was delicious!!!
