Okay, today is Sunday and I love sundays...........I get up go to the farmers market, have an amazing breakfast then just potter round and generally just have a very relaxing day, but today was different. I don't know why but today I have just felt ............ well just ........ off really. Been in one of those moods where you can't quite pin point what is wrong you just know that something is wrong. I got up hoping to go to yoga, which has been long over due, but couldn't actually find where it was being held. And I think from then I just couldn't make myself feel right. It's really weird to explain what is going on in my brain, almost like lots of voices all of which are just talking random crap..... so I am sorry but that is probably how this blog will go too. Lol.
Good thing that did happen to day was finding a good gym. Haven't ran at all since the race. Firstly this was due to fucking up my knee and my foot and then I think just a lack of confidence. Not many foot paths where I life, which is nice cos we aren't around any where noisy, but when I have thought about going out for a run on my own I've no confidence. I think this happened after the race too, really knocked me for six, and although it was amazing when I finished and it was such an achievement, I really struggled and it kind of made me feel like I am shit. So anyways with a big old combination of this shit I haven't got off my fat lazy ass in what seems like forever. Sooooo we decided that maybe the gym might be the way to go, so then we can do classes, swimming etc, and we think that we found one, and it is literally right next to town, so no excuse will be acceptable. :( It's weird though because after running/training all the time to doing nothing its odd, your body feel's like it is lacking something. So I truly am looking forward to getting my sweat on! mmmmmm nice!
In the mean while I have been baking lots. The other day I made my own profiteroles (pic provided)... literally from scratch. I was very pleased with myself though, quietly chuffed shall we say.Yummers. They were lovely. Very naughty indeed. This is also why I need to get my ass down to the gym and sweat my bollucks off.... all this fucking cake I've been eating, not good for my figure you know! Laugh it up guys, fucking laugh it up !! Next though I am planning on making a swiss roll. Never made one before and I don't actually have a swiss roll tin so I need to infest in this. I did how ever want to find out what the difference was between one and a baking tray, and whether it was just a commercial ploy to get you to spend more money. But for those of you who are interested I shall tell you (and for those who are not tough), a swiss roll tin has lower sides, although a baking tray with low sides do exist and are perfectly acceptable. This is so when you are turning it over the mixture does not break. So if you want to make your own swiss roll then do not panic you probably have something that will do. I still unfortunately do not, so I do actually need to infest in one. So I have also been thinking, now I know Edward has a cooking blog and we do a lot of our cooking together so our things go on there but I have been thinking about setting up my own. As this is a real passion of mine and I want to one day sell my products, this may be a great place to start. So please feedback would be great. I really need to practice and if there is anything you would like to bake and need help with then please ask. I am also thinking about maybe videoing what I make, especially with the trickier recipes! So please message me with your views and opinions, obviously if you haven't got anything nice to say then don't !!! Funny to think about how a few years ago I hated food, everything about it, and cake, I would never EVER eat cake! ............... no I still don't eat pears...... and the fact that I even had to type out the word makes me feel wrong, so so wrong.
........................
Well as I only have a few hours left now until the sun sets and a new week of work begins I will be off. I hope you are all well and I will speak to ya all soon.....
Love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
P.s I also have some advice, when using a bread knife to cut your bread, don't cut towards your fingers............trust me .......... I learnt the hard way..............
