I'm limping along on my creative challenge. I managed to cut out the back and sleeves for a top (I cut the front out a week or so ago) while SMall Person and DH were at the Allotment; I pinned the bust darts and shoulder datrts on said top as well.
We made cheats lemon curd in Thermy. It's not as luscious as proper lemon curd... but it took 7 minutes in Thermy instead of 45 minutes of me stirring over the hob, and that was a trade off I was happy to make. I'll definitely make it again and I'll probably double the recipe next time. That counts towards my creative challenge, doesn't it?
I was trying to teach Small Person how to use a potato peeler to get zest off a lemon. She managed, but I couldn't quite teach her the knack. I might get her to use a grater next time... but I'd really like her to learn to do it 'properly'. I might have to buy a different sort of peeler for her to use.
Raymondo's new AeroVac bin arrived. I fitted it and set him off to work straight away. It's much quieter than the old bin. It seems to work really well, so that's good. And a relief. After testing him, I installed a new side brush. I can't remember when I last did that.
It's going to be a tough week this week and I'm not feeling very resiliant.
