So

things are looking more than a little grim......I feel so much for the people of Ukraine, the despot had all borders covered and no one seems to have realised it. How it will pan out we just do not know.

It does seem as if the cost of living will rise again in the autumn. Food prices are going up very quickly. When I do my next months menus I am going to have to look at more veggi based meals like the cauli and broccoli gratin I used to make. One thing I will not compromise on is fruit, We both have a piece of fruit each day, I am sure thats what has kept DB in better health this year as well as the fact that he now has the pacemaker.

I spent most of yesterday sorting out the Janome machine, I have a feeling its going to be hard to shift, If I have to I will reduce the price, it will grieve  me but it may have to be done. At least I got a decent price for the stellaire.

Its a bit warmer, the sun is out and I have the radiator off in our bedroom and the window open. DB is going out to the garden once it warms up a bit.

This arrived this morning, no prior notice, just a knock on the door. Chap reluctantly put the box in the sewing room and we unpacked it. Just have to attach the head board, which makes a shelf when its closed, and away we go, it will be moved into the corner until we need to use it.

We have some extra milk, so I am going to make a rice pudding, it will do us a couple of nights for dessert. Its fish and chip night.
