Spring Cleaning And Shopping Lists

......are what this week holds in store amongst other stuff as yet unplanned!

With a new financial year fast approaching it's time to clean out the old and get rid of all the 'cruft' and clutter that the office and stores have accumulated over the last year. So it'll be time to break out the vaccuum cleaner, the soap and the scrubbing brushes on Wednesday as we empty the office and kitchen stores for a damned good clean out.

The plan is to get the office area back to a working space, the 'lounge' tidy and suitable for relaxing during breaks, the stores clean of junk and dust and clothes put back onto racks and the kitchen/food stores back to square one and spick and span for the coming years cookery. It should also give us a good chance to take stock of what we actually have in store and to put it all into a logical order.

I also need to have finalized the menu and plans for the March cookery so that I can submit the shopping lists by the end of the week. Once again, keeping costs down is something I need to think about, but as with the last cookery weekend it shouldn't be too much of a problem as we have a lot of the ingredients that we'll be needing in store already.

As soon as the list of recipes is sorted I'll let you all know, but for now you'll have to make do with another 9 pictures to look at over at Flickr. One of my favourites of the bunch is this one

I just like the semi frozen/semi blurred look that Robert captured.....it was the end of the day, the light had really gone and he was playing with the flash settings on the camera I believe.
