Writing again
Lydia has had a good rest this afternoon after a longish walk this morning.
I pushed her a bit, to go a bit further than she wanted to, although it was an easy walk for both of us really. Just over an hour on flat ground.
I’m tired too, though recognise I still need to push myself a bit as well. I’m tired but still not able to fully relax into the deep sleep that I need.
We had some over-ripe bananas so I made banana cake, with the addition of linseed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, all-spice and ground ginger. I used my standard cake recipe – 4oz butter/margarine, 4oz sugar, 4oz flour and 2 eggs, x 3, although I used less sugar to allow for the sweetness of the bananas. I also added some rolled oats. It turned out well. Baked in two loaf tins at 180 degrees centigrade, initially for about 20 minutes, then turned down and baked for a bit longer, until they passed the skewer test, coming out clean so I knew they were done.
As usual, Lydia has been keeping me good company on a quiet rainy day.
She hasn’t had her tea yet but doesn’t seem in any hurry for it. Neither am I for mine.
