Weekend reading

Apricot and custard cake made with backyard eggs and pantry staples.

It's been another busy week here. I've been mending and organising and Hanno has been doing his outdoor work, although he's not been well. Our main complaint is dizziness, we both have good days and bad days, and luckily the good outweighs the bad. Today I'll be deciding on my topic at the CWA talk I'm giving on Sunday - International Women's Day.  Later this morning we're taking Gracie to a groomer to be washed and clipped.  Happy days!

I hope your week has been a good one. What have you been doing?

Here are some reading and watching links when you have some downtime.  Enjoy the weekend. I'll see you again next week.  ðŸ’•

  2. Recently my husband also experienced a spell of dizziness and I took him to the Dr who found he had very low blood pressure of 95/75 !! A couple of days after that I realized it was not the low blood pressure but rather the fact that he was suffering from heat exhaustion from being outside on the farm 10-12 hours a day. He wore a hat and took water with him but the heat was at a temperature we had never experienced here before. Now the temps are dropping the dizziness has disappeared.

  4. The apricot and custard cake looks scrumptious! Hope to get a recipe soon. I must say that the French Farmhouse, while gorgeous, is definitely not a minimalist sort of lifestyle. There is plenty of money circulating around there. But there are some good ideas to be found, too. Thanks for the weekend list, Rhonda.
