Not a good start to the day (or week) - husband went out to the car to go to the gym but discovered the front driver's side tyre was flat as a pancake. He's not up to changing wheels/tyres now (and in any case apparently we've only got one of those temporary space saver spare tyres), so called a local mobile tyre fitter. He's just been and changed the tyre (it was a screw stuck in it which had caused the puncture), he checked the other front tyre and said that needs changing too, as the tracking is out and has caused uneven wear. Husband's just gone to the garage to have another tyre fitted and tracking seen to - so an expensive day. Oh well, needs must.
I've made a lovely caramelised leek (our own homegrown leeks), sun dried tomato and cheese tart for dinner, to use up a couple of lumps of cheeses which needed using quickly. Also made an Eve's pudding to get rid of some bruised apples......bit of nostalgia, Mum used to make Eve's puddings a lot when we were kids, or she sometimes used tinned peaches, pears or pineapple instead of the apples. We had puddings quite a lot when we were young, I suspect to fill up us growing kids with hollow legs. Nowadays, we rarely have them, although saying that, husband usually has a flavoured yogurt, or sometimes custard with a sliced banana. I generally have a piece of fruit if I fancy something sweet to finish off.
Going to town to have a wander round the shops tomorrow, not done that for a while, I need to go to the library too.
Nothing else going on, so not much to say, sorry! Shoulder is still extremely painful, I'm trying to ignore it, I'm doing the exercises daily as recommended.
That leek tart sounds yummy, and Eve's pudding - oooh! We no longer have puddings, and I do miss them.
ReplyDeleteCars are expensive at times. Like a lot of things, everything seems to need doing at once, and it's rarely something that just costs a couple of quid!
Sorry your shoulder is still causing you pain. I do hope it eases soon. xx
Thanks K, me too, it's even worse in the evenings when I've sat down and aren't doing much. xx
DeleteThe state of the roads are causing having with tyres and probably why the tracking was off too. Sorry it was such an expensive day! Eve’s pudding made with any available fruit was definitely made to fill us up as children and Always serve with custard in our house. Catriona
ReplyDeleteWe've recently sold our car and I have to say I am enjoying not having to worry about future bills for it! It was only me driving, so I had to organise all that sort of stuff myself and I didn't enjoy it 🙄
ReplyDeleteYour leek tart sounds wonderful. So sorry about the flat tire and the added expense, but at least you could get someone out to look after it quickly.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
