I don’t know if it’s our crazy weather – which is swinging backwards and forwards from hot to cold – but I’m tired out at the moment. Come the evening I’m completely pooped and not fit for much at all. The Swiss call it Fr\u00fchlingsm\u00fcdigkeit <\/em>– spring tiredness. Whatever, I need to get it sorted out and get my energy levels back again. My run this morning was a real slog – boy did I have lead in my legs, but thankfully one or two of the others did too!<\/p>\n

Yesterday evening I went for the ‘being nice to me routine<\/em>‘ – and had a delightful evening….<\/p>\n

A glass of my favourite Californian White Zinfandel got me off to the right start…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Followed by butter chicken curry with basmati rice and naan bread (the curry sauce came out of a jar from Jaipur – one of the very,very few things I buy ready made – and utterly delicious with it). Yum!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then utterly scrummy rhubarb fool \u00e0 la Nigella (made with my own fair hands). This was rejected by everyone except my eldest daughter on the grounds that a) it’s a strange English concoction and b) it doesn’t contain chocolate….honestly, how can these children be my children?…and why did my husband marry me if he didn’t want English puddings? Secretly I don’t care….all the more for me and daughter number 1, who is a sensible girl!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After dinner a little gentle Lenora<\/em> knitting. This is turning into one of those love you socks. The lacy leg is a delight and I’ve learned a couple of new stitches. The subtle variations in the yarn shading are a delight – and so very Grace Kelly!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A can’t put it down book – Sister by Rosamund Lupton<\/a>. Excellent so far. I REALLY can’t put it down…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a lovely lavender bath to finish off the evening…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heavenly….<\/p>\n
