So glad I got out yesterday and did a bit while I could (especially stocking up on wood by the back door!) – today was a no-go for any sensible outside work!

The rain came down steadily all day – and even now at midnight it still hasn’t let up!

I dragged some raspberries out of the freezer and proceeded to make the house smell fabulous by baking a banana & raspberry loaf and making up a batch of raspberry jam.

I just scoffed some of the final baked product as a midnight feast and am now hiccoughing banana bread! 🙂

Jam – pound for pound fruit and sugar & throw a bit of lemon juice in! Easy.

I got 6 and a half jars out of that lot!

I was pretty happy with the way it set and tested it out on some fresh bread – have to give it the thumbs up!

Destined for my toast tomorrow morning!

Had a bit of a game with Pip this afternoon – he had ants in his pants, so a rousing game of ‘chase the string around the house’ worked out some of the springs in his feet!

I managed to tucker him out properly, then promptly lost my Nanna-Knee-Rug as he thinks it is now his. At least he was quiet for a while! 🙂

Kitty rest time – fire is on, life is good!

Cheers!
