I was up and had started work by soon after 9 this morning, so finished work at 12.30 and did some yoga before lunch. The efficiency drifted away after lunch and I spent a chunk of the afternoon in idle news and Twitter browsing, though I did read for a while before we went for our walk - three and a half miles today, including a section through the water meadows where the grasses are getting quite tall.
TG did her school work and then made her carrot cake this afternoon. In the end she served it by putting a stripe of yoghurt across the plate, with the cake on top and a sprinkling of orange zest. I should have taken a photograph but didn't think until after I had eaten it. The vanilla yoghurt went extremely well with the cake, which was delicious - even members of the family who are not normally fans of carrot cake wanted a second helping. She had to analyse what went right and what went wrong as part of her write up for her teacher, and I struggled to think of anything she could have improved.
H was also in cooking mood and made dinner - potatoes sautéed in butter and salmon cooked in a griddle pan, with peas and courgettes. She always gets seasonings just right. Earlier on she had sorted out all the stuff she brought back from uni. M has booked a slot to take some unwanted stuff to the tip on Friday, and the rest has gone into the garage to keep until she is able to get a home of her own (hopefully next year).
