Easter's here apparently

I admit it......I had my first Cadbury's Creme Egg of the year the other day (shame on me!!)  It was bloody delicious and nicely took care of that all too frequent chocolate craving that hits once in a while (pretty damn often really!)

I felt i deserved after a particularly torturous session at the gym where i had to lie flat on the floor and squeeze a medicine ball between my bent knees whilst moving my legs towards the floor and up again (3 lots of 15 - aghh!)  Safe to say i couldn't walk properly afterwards and couldn't sleep for 2 days due to the subsequent pain.  I was very firm at the next session that this exercise was never to be repeated but the kids (bless them) had already told her what a mess i had been during their 'Teen Gym Workout' a few days previously.

During one of those sleepless nights I can up with a hair-brained fundraising idea and set to work getting it organised that very day (once the sun had actually risen).  I am now advertising my Pop-Up restaurant, where i aim to serve a different set 3-course meal every month for around 20 guests, who will then be asked to donate what they feel the meal was worth.  I'm starting simply with French February (watercress roulade, beef bourginnoine and creme caramel) and this will be followed by Mexican March - you get the picture.  I will wait to see how it goes, but it could be a good (if rather involved little money-spinner).......

........that is if we can get all the heavy furniture moved out of the living room into the garden!
