It's Tuesday and Time for Tea with Bleubeard and Elizabeth

Hello T Stands for Tuesday! I started off quite well last week and posted more than I've posted in ages...but then, well??? I got into a tidy mode...which means...making  a chaotic mess everywhere, while I try to find 'homes' for everything and decided whether to chuck, sell, give away, donate, store or keep. (Although I've been doing this for the past 18 months, I'll blame Ceri The Crafter and his 'Death Cleaning' talk but he does have a point and I can remember my mum and mum in-law doing just that.  So, I've been stepping over things all week (don't put the hoover away yet, you're going to need it again in a minute... and then treading on the plug, ouch!) and hardly crafting at all,  except, with bits. What do I mean by bits?? It means, in my case, finding a bit of paper and then needing to or wanting to stick it to  another bit of paper... or finding a  tiny bit of scrap and adding it to my mini journals... or tags...or whatever falls off the shelf! (sometimes even the shelf!) This was a paper snack bag... there is a video of me waffling...but I haven't worked out how to get that on here....yet.(lucky you!)

 So. I'm joining in with T stands for Tuesday, to try and put some sanity back into my life...and, as you can see, I've 'staged' my boring breakfast this morning, seen above and below. Cold cup of tea...no sugar (Yuk!) Then there's Porridge with no sugar but I added my  fruit whizz-up instead... not bad. Had the idea from a chap who started talking to me in Tesco's that he always puts cranberry juice on his cereal instead of milk... (I still use milk)

 

 The half empty bottle of wine in the background I found in the garage. I made a Cottage pie in the week and added it to the gravy on the third day left-overs. (If he made anything with beef, John would usually add red wine or white wine with chicken) and?? yes, very yummy. Seeing I made enough for four meals...On the second day I added curry, just to give it different taste...and then I found the wine...

 Then, as you can see, I had two boiled eggs with toasted seed bread soldiers  and sat them on those cute little eggcups again... and as for the warm chocolate chipped bun...yes, it has extra Nutella in it...

  Someone asked a while back, what goes in my fruit wizz.... basically, whatever fruit I have.  Grapes, Bananas. Blackberries, Raspberries Blueberries, sometimes an apple or a bit of water melon, or kiwi, or orange including those little oranges and always water..

 Sorry about the lighting....I have some bulbs gone in the kitchen.. and I can't reach to change them...unless I get the big steps from the garden... and talking about bulbs and the garden- daffodils are beginning to show! Spring is on her way! 

 My bargin of the week I think must be this little trolly I bought from Adli. It's smaller than my others but well worth £12.99 (the putting it together was umm...fun, not. A lot of swearing went on!

Last but not least...it's waaay past coffee time, closer to afternoon tea time, so I've just stopped for a cuppa and some dark chocolate Hobnobs!

Don't forget to pop over to AlteredBookLover and join in. It's 'spicey' again this week! Thank you for stopping by!

  3. Good morning, I wish we had an Aldi store nearby where we live now-great bargains there. I love your egg holders too. I have a difficult time going through my craft room if I eliminate something that not soon after I need it haha Happy T Kathy

  4. Happy T day Spyder. I've been doing the same kind of cleaning for the last year (or 2) and after a long break, I am also back into it. I had to smile when you said it makes a mess to clean-because it really does, doesn't it? Good luck with your cleaning. And your breakfast and tea look delicious. Those egg cups are adorable. Good luck with the rest of your project. hugs-Erika

  5. I too have fruit in bowls ready to eat whenever we want. I really like the sound of your fruit wizz. Very good and healthy. I cleaned my art room last night. I have so much "stuff" that my room just keeps getting smaller. However, I do need everything that is in there. LOL Have a very nice evening.

  6. I 'm sorry to be late visiting.

    I know what you mean about messes. It always looks the very worst right before it all comes together.

    I love your breakfast, something I never seem to eat. I adore the egg cups and I love a good soft cooked egg. Never heard of bread soldiers before, though.

    You have a lot of fruit to choose from. It is all so healthy looking.

    Wow, the daffs are really blooming in your world. I suspect spring is on its way here, too.

    LOVE that cart. I wish my Aldi had these. I would love one. I suspect much cheaper than IKEA, too.

    You gave us several drinks to choose from today. Instead of choosing the fruit whizz, or the wine, or the coffee, I'll join you for tea and hobnobs.

    Thanks for sharing your art, breakfast, garden, and tea with us for T this Tuesday, dear Lyn.

  7. I haven't had lunch yet so all the talk of food is making extremely ravenous. I haven't had a soft boiled egg with toast in ages. Maybe today's lunch. Your egg cups are too stinkin' cute. Happy T Day
