An at home day - home flowers - home cooking : July 5 2024

Late night watching the Tour de France makes for a slow start to the day. Not very motivated to do too much on a rainy day.

New oncidium orchid opened for the day. English name us dancing ladies - a bit like those old Western saloons. Code for at home days

Pelargonium is hanging in. It too does not like the new abode - a bit cold and too much direct sun on the winter afternoons

Did walk up to the shops with my wife for a few things. View fown the hill beyween the too apartment blocks. On a clear day one can see the Blue Mountains

Too lazy to do a proper shop. My wife had some errands to do. On the way back, call down from up high. Former colleague of my wife lives up the road - she used to baby sit their children maybe 30 years ago. Come in for a drink. I dropped the groceries off and joined them.

Made for a very different end to the day. John and Jill have lived here for something like 40 years with a spell in Oman in the middle. Did enjoy entertaining their daschund - lovely dog. Chat went all over the place - local stuff, work colleagues, cycling, travel, Finland food

Cooked dinner at home - a bit of a chest with gluten free agnolotti. Made a creamy mushroom sauce

Saute some sliced mushrooms in butter and toss in green end of spring onion at the end. Set aside

Make a roux - butter - gluten free flour. Then add in chopped garlic and sliced spring onion. Then add in a little milk and cream to build a nice creamy sauce. Add in the set aside mushrooms

Cook the agnolotti in boiling water for a few minutes. Used a slotted spoon to lift them out - they become quite delicate

Plate up pasta and spoon over the cream sauce - serve with black pepper
