It's been a while since I posted. The reason for that is simply because I haven't been up to much of note. I'm still on the job hunt, and approaching the decision to go to a temp agency as, despite applying for appx. 12-15 jobs, I have yet to receive ANY call-backs or emails. As a result, I've just been puttering around the house trying to make myself useful (I'm the ironing and dishwasher-emptying girl), reading (Game of Thrones, which is fantastic by the way, and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which is not as fantastic), and baking! Well, actually, the baking is only a recent thing that was a response to an irresistible urge to make something delicious. Anyway, I found a really lovely recipe for vanilla-almond scones, and I made some lemon curd to go with. I absolutely love lemon curd, and it was pretty exciting to feel it thicken up as I was stirring it (I need to get out more). Here's a photo of my treats:
In other news, Tom's decided to paint his room, so we've been looking at paint chips, and got some sample pots. After applying BRIGHT green AND blue to the wall, I think I've managed to talk him out of using two ridiculously rich colours. The green will be remaining, but will be paired with a nice taupe instead. Picture upside-down Super Mario World, and you'll get what his room would have looked like.... oh dear.
Until I have some more exciting info to share, ta ta!
