I had a day off today and spent much of it trying to write. It didn’t go too well, though it could have been worse. That, could well be the motto for my life – good, but could have been better.
I also checked on the internet to see what sold in the shop, and found that one of the coins I’d listed yesterday had sold. It often seems to be the way. In fact most of today’s orders were for the cheap and cheerful end of our stock. That’s the end at which I operate.
Now, having watched the day slip away, I find it is time to take Number Two Son to work. I will return with only 40 minutes to post, so am getting it done now. And that, I’m afraid, is why it was hardly worth your while clicking the button to visit. Sorry about that.
The final picture is my breakfast from Tuesday – overnight oats. You put oats, milk, yoghurt and fruit into a tupperware and leave it in the fridge overnight. It’s just a posh name for cold porridge. However, it does save time in the morning as I take it to work, and as I always arrive at work early I use some of that time for eating breakfast instead of starting work. On Fridays I will eat cold porridge in the garden with Julia.

Photography can be so deceptive…
Beautiful coin! I have been thinking of making overnight oats, and I am inspired by your post to soon do so. See? Even short posts can be worthwhile to readers.
🙂 Thank you. I had overnight oats again this morning. It is going well, though the new container disgraced itself by leaking in my bag.
Soon, I will give overnight oats a try. Never fun to have a container leak in a bag.
I should have double-bagged it as a test before trusting it.
Congrats on the sale.
I too have had cold oats, just wondering now why I haven’t made it lately!! It is quite good!
I used to make them then faded out before restarting. Life’s a bit like that. 🙂
haha, I think it’s been my rule book!!
🙂
Just keep your hand steady when taking a spoonful
I will! 🙂
Your breakfast looks very nice! I also like the Brimstone on the coin. I have been chasing Brimstones about trying unsuccessfully to photograph them.
They are tricky – nearly as bad as Orange Tips. Good luck!
Thank you 🙂
That is a nice WWF coin!
They do some good ones – the Brimstone, with its wing shape is a good subject for a coin.
Do you never cook the oats? They just soften overnight? Very cool, if so.
I have been making my evening tea that way. (By this I mean chamomile tea that I drink before bed.) I have a pitcher in the fridge & add tea bags and water as needed. “Cold brewed” they call it. I call it fast and easy.
Just add oats and liquid and leave it. The hardest bit is remembering to do it. 🙂
I will be trying this. Very cool.
I’m enjoying it, though we did have a bacon sandwich on Wednesday, which I did enjoy as a change. 🙂
