Friday Windows with a Tune

Cleaning windows

The wipers worked frantically

to no great advantage

as we were chauffeured

down the narrow streets

of a village in the Loire

in a Citroen Traction Avant

Thursday Windows with a Tune.

So meet me tonight, just where the light shines from a window,

and as I take your hand, say that you'll be mine tonight.

Look Through Any Window

Last week we did the Foodie Thing based on Sue's passion of cooking - yes, I know how fortunate I am but she does have a very enthusiastic guinea pig to work with.

This week I have this concept based on the Hollies song - "Look through any window". I heard it on the radio today when I was thinking of what to post for the weekend. Does this happen to you?

Most of my weekend was spent on the bedroom renovation, remember the bathroom saga, well that's finished. Most of the undercoating is 75% done in the bedroom now. The hardest part is preparing the timber work, especially the lap-sash windows. I've sanded all the timber and now done two layers of undercoat. The walls down from the timber picture rail are also undercoated but I still need to do the ceiling next weekend - I'm excited!!!!!

Champagne Friday and Home Made Pizza

Champagne Friday - there it was when I walked in the door, the customary glass of champagne to welcome the start the weekend. It was a hurried glass of champagne and dinner as well.
For those that have been following the blog this week, I hoodwinked Sue into posting this weeks dinners. It just that I'm so proud of what she can bring out of the kitchen and on to the table. I remember once when our son Mitchell said there's nothing to eat in this house. All I can find is ingredients.
That's the way its always been. No packaged dinners. no bottles of coca cola or choc coated breakfast cereals in our house - just ingredients.

We had a function to attend tonight and so dinner would need to be something quick and simple. Sue can hardly bear to order in even though tonight might have been one of those times. Order Pizza maybe!

But no!!! She had to make her own, from the crust up.

This is a simple yeast dough. Before I got RA I used to make all the bread for the family, so I could just about do this with my eyes shut.

Yup, that's it.

Ooh, yuk, this looks pretty washed out, Leon.
It's green tiger prawns, prosciutto and bocconcini on a tomato base with a little chilli. No garlic, cos we had to go out and breathe on people.
That's because these are just iPhone photos Sue!!

The finished article.

Leon made a pig of himself :-)
Hm mm I guess i did, didn't I?

 Looking forward to our weekend. It starts with a morning ride with my mates, that is unless its raining and if it is, then its straight into the bedroom renovation. Tell you more about that Sunday night.
