Just lovely, many colors, has to be seen from all sides. Posed in the kitchen, because the winter light's best there, hence the colander which got in there. Perfect for a winter's day, as well as a birthday, thank you!
And since it's cold enough for snow, in fact it's snowing, it was a good day for chicken soup.
Chicken thighs, carrots, yam, onions, scallions, garlic, extra chicken bones, big sprig of thyme, half a dozen curry leaves, salt, pepper, bit of Worcestershire added at the end. Blended just a bit but leaving plenty of whole vegetable pieces. Duncan bullied me into a bit of shredded chicken in his bowl, on the grounds that he wanted some. So now I have supplies of soup, always a good thing.
And I made a cool discovery, after the cable cord on my tablet sort of wore out. In the course of looking online to see what I should buy to replace it, I discovered in the q and a that I could try any micro charger. So I tried my Kindle charger, and it works a treat. Also has a much longer cord. I was so used the notion that each device had its own charger and none matched any other, that I hadn't noticed this distinct improvement. My phone charger works, too. No shopping required after all.
Yesterday's joys included a visit from a couple in search of a birthday present for the wife, and we had a visit, tea, cake, chat, and found that her birthday is in fact today! Happy Birthday Irene! Not sister Irene, another one, but she pronounces it the same way.
So I guess we were all happy, they because they liked the monotype they chose, I because I was happy to send it to a good new home, and we were amused to find we were birthmates.
Aren't the flowers soul-satisfyingly colorful! Belated happy birthday to you, Liz - here's to another creative year ahead :)
