washing on the line

I've managed to wash my sheets and get them hanging outside to dry. The weather people tell me that it is going to rain and be ten degrees colder by Monday so I am taking advantage of 25 and sunny. Although I was supposed to have really gotten work done today and I am just setting off to start typing now, at 13.40. A lovely food delivery arrived today though. Smoked haddock, smoked bacon and a box full of fresh organic fruits and veg. Last week I got two globe artichokes. I think I will be having them for supper tonight. I had never had smoked haddock on its own before this week. There is a restaurant on Mile End Road, called L'Oasis where they have a chef on all day. They only have 11 tables, but most seat at least 4 people. A lunch item was Smoked Haddock with Mash, spinach and a poached egg. I don't know what the chef put in the mash or in the slightly milky sauce that was on the plate, but it was one of the most enjoyable meals I have eaten. All the flavours went together so well. I finished it all, but I was stuffed! Barely managed a bowl of soup for supper. The menu had another dish that looked great, wild something sausages with mash (not potato) and some other side item...anyway, I will have to to back for that soon. I could ramble on about food all day, so now it is time to really work on my chapter!
