Sept 2015 - Week 5

Monday 28th to Wednesday 30th September 2015

Monday we worked, did a big supermarket shop and worked some more. I bulk cooked a tomato sauce to stock our freezer and also cooked a cauldron of chilli con carne. For dinner Sam had a spiced chicken breast with salad and I had spaghetti Siciliana. That’s what the tomato sauce is all about! We started to watch the final series of Downton Abbey. It was very pleasant but you get the feeling they have made it because they can rather than because they should.

Tuesday I went for a good walk taking the scenic route to Xemxija and back. It’s just about cool enough for that now with the temperature hovering around 30°. Superb chill con carne with rice for dinner.

Wednesday we went for a swim at Ghadira Bay. I found the water cold so didn’t stay in long (apparently I’m a wimp!). Sam stayed in for ages; these North-eastern girls are pretty hardy. We dried off and had excellent cappuccinos at Munchies. I had a two hours guitar lesson. Sam is on a two/five diet again so twice each week we have different dinners. I had a baked pork chop; Sam had griddled chicken.
