We visited Sue’s mum where nephew Nick
was visiting with his girlfriend Siobhan. We had lunch with them and Deb and
Dave.
Prompted by a special offer in our local
supermarket Sue cooked Lobster Thermador for the first time. Splitting the
lobster in half was a strange experience but it was a tasty treat.
For no reason other than nephew Terry
had seen a picture of them in a paper, he asked Sue to make Chocolate ‘Scotch’
eggs. These are Cadbury crème eggs surrounded in a cake mixture, covered in
chocolate and sprinkled with crushed candied eggs. Each of them a heart attack
waiting to happen and instant diabetes for anyone who eats more than one.
Our semi-regular Furlong Road Curry Evening
where with the lads from the street (and friends – Deb joined us this time)
visit the local curry house now called Indigo Spice. Afterwards we ended up having
some lethal looking martinis at Howard’s.
We managed to get out and start clearing
up the garden for spring. Deb helped us out and we managed to finish the
pruning of the apple tree, weeding and removing old plants, and burning waste
wood, leaves (and an old broken bench) on a bonfire. We rewarded ourselves with
homemade dim sum (dumplings, wontons, satay chicken and all manner of
deliciousness). We also had our lunch out on the deck in the spring sunshine.
Mother’s day was spent helping out in
Sue’s mum’s garden clearing the flower beds, pruning unruly bushes and taking
the rubbish to the dump. Later we had a heart meal to celebrate. Sue received a
lovely bunch of flowers and box of chocolates from Jamie (who also sent flowers
to Mum).
