Today I got the steps out, used them & braved the Tupperware shelves in the kitchen cupboard. Only one item flew out, which I caught in my left hand! I waited for the round of applause, which surely was my due, but it didn’t come, so found the very small container I wanted, & climbed down. I may need an Little Lie Down now Annan Medicinal Please. Carinthia. xx ---

Yesterday I received a gift of yer actual Coriander seeds\*, so _proper_ carrot & coriander soup can, & will be made. \*Now in an Tiny Tupperware container & sitting on top of the matching Tupperware container in which I store my Indian spices. Happy Sigh Yesterday I had fish from the fish & chip shop. Today I will have a few of the chips with salt & my garlic mayonnaise. I feel the need for summat warming & indulgent Carinthia. xx ---

We went to the black pool and braved the HQ of a crowd who deliver beer from on line ordering We have an order in already but wanted to see their low and zero alcohol range I also got a sample of other beers not ordered Then we went to the huge Liffey valley shopping centre to the M&S store and got terribly exciting things like a new duvet cover and pillow cases and table mats covered in pretty bees I got a very very fine pure merino wool shocking pink jumper and a nice linen top The Bull got a nice fair isle style wool waistcoat and he looks so comfy in it The sale rails were a scene from the whole nine circles of Hell so were avoided A trip to Flying Tiger for tasting spoons and a new whisk was also had Exciting boring old farts are us! ---

I have antique Tupperware, some of which I bought replacement lids for. These days I mostly use Lock & Lock, which are cheaper, & come in an excellent range of sizes & shapes, but for small & fiddly things, the Tupperware works better. I didn’t have the ‘gimicky’ stuff, but I used to use the Tupperware Multi Server as a rice cooker at the caravan. That was donated to a friend, who was very grateful for it. Carinthia. xx ---

I have gone the whole Bluddy hog now & sorted out the old biscuit tin where I keep stock cubes, powders, gels & sauces. No steps were involved this time. Carinthia. xx ---

Nothing like well filed stock cubes fer promoting peace of mind. Talking of gels, Darling, having found a rich seam of jelly crystals, up to and including pomegranate or rose flavour, I have this urge to make some jelly slice (iconic Aussie traybake involving zero actual baking). Pomegranate might be a bit too sophisticated for it, strawberry being the norm. Could it be ironic, or elevating, or something else wanky? One has to have ready & willing victims, though - it doesn’t keep like biscuits. Ebony sends a general purr to the cellar - well, she’s here and rumbling like an idling Routemaster. Maybe it’s just fer wor Chatelaine. Goodnight, Cellarites all Gxxx ---
