Cleaning lady!

So... I have just cleaned out the girls. Again! I don't think I have ever seen so much poop! I think they must be doing it all night because they rarely go into Cluckingham Palace during the day. I have to lock them out in order to clean and this morning, halfway through it started to rain very heavily and they were very vocal in their protest that I wouldn't let them in out of the rain until I had finished. Oh happy days! Or at least they will be when we finally get some eggs!
I haven't been doing much lately as the football is all consuming. I have to arrange dinner so that it is ready to eat at half time and then by the time we have watched the second half and cleaned up the kitchen it is time for the second match. I am a bit jealous of michael, he's got a wife to do all that for him whilst he can concentrate on the football. Also I am missing out on what's happening in Coronation street!
went to Boston yesterday. It's really weird being able to look in SHOPS! I bought some shoes and a handbag!
I have ordered some Chia seeds on the net. I will probably sell some to my friends when they arrive as they are all excited about the possibility of using them to lose weight. I am impressed with them as I am sure that they are lowering my blood sugar so thanks to my nephew for finding them.
I found some ancient recipes the other day and decided to make some biscuits from 1602.
They were very simple :-
3oz Sugar
2 eggs
4oz S/R flour
1 Tablespoon Rose water
Grated lemon peel
Beat eggs and Sugar until very light and fluffy, they should be almost white.
add lemon peel and rose water and beat again
Add Flour and beat again.
put small drops onto a well greased baking tray.
Sprinkle with sugar
Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes at gas mark 3

The hens are eating whats left over so failures of any kind are not serious now!
