Plans for today (2025)

I’m having a light day today. The deep tissue massage I had yesterday has left me battered! I’m also switching to my other phone so I get left alone 👏
Planning on making some soup and chopping up the remaining sandwich chicken for chicken melts later.
Eldest son coming home today and youngest also joining us tomorrow so I’d better get a food order in asap 😬

And a bit of a weird one I’m also planning to start seriously looking at what cutlery I would like.
I have a bit of a thing about cutlery. I truly hate bad cutlery. If it doesn’t feel nice in my hand I’m not interested, for me bad cutlery can ruin a good eating experience. I’m not hardline on anything much in life (maybe try not to kill or maim anyone 🤣) but good cutlery has to be up there as one of my top quirks 😂

One of the cutlery offences that irks me most is when your eating in a good restaurant, they’ve spent time and money creating a nice environment including the crockery and cutlery and at the end they give you a horrible cheap teaspoon to eat a little pud with. I’ve stopped short of requesting to see the spoon they’ll supply for before ordering pud but it’s a close run thing 🤪

I’ve read the Robert Welch shop (a brand of cutlery) is in the Cotswolds about 1hr 30 mins from here. A bike ride will be happening soon for cutlery drooling 😆

Like you my wife likes good cutlery.
We have every day ones, Sunday night ones and sreak knives. They are jamie oliver??

I am a bit the same. I like to feel a certain weight and satisfying shape of the cutlery in my hands and the look is imporatant too. I think good cutlery is very hard to find.
It is and it's not something I'm prepared to commit to without having felt it either.
Welch do samples you can order to try before you buy so after Ive been there and had a look I'll probably get some samples to see what they're like to eat with.
 
If you are excused form Jury Duty in this County, they pay you $12 & 67¢/mile.
If you no serve on a jury, they pay you $25/d + mileage
That remind me, I did to load the debit card they gave me as payment so I can use it at the market this afternoon.
They just announced here that they’re increasing jury pay. Apparently it was $40/day starting from day 11 (so no pay at all for your first 10 days on the jury) and now they’re increasing it to $120/day starting from day 1.
 
I fell back asleep and napped until 1:30 pm. Drinking tea in bed right now.

You threw Pippi in nap mode...

Plans for the week are to not add much to the refrigerator fresh foods since we leave a week from Monday. It's pretty bare in there though the freezers are fairly full. Except for the chest freezer we emptied in July. It's unplugged and waiting for turkeys and hams to go on sale in November. Yes, I don't like ham in general but I do love ham and bean soup, and ham (thinly shaved and diced) and cheese omelets.
