This morning we are going to the local market and doing some recycling (including a quick visit to the re-use shop to make sure I'm not missing out on any books). It sounds boring but after a pretty rotten week I'm revelling in having such a simple list of things to do at my own speed.

Sounds good! I love going to the market. But I always end up spending savings from cheap veggies on fancy bread.

The SO decided it was raining too steadily to traipse around a carpark looking at onions so the market was a no-go. Maybe next weekend...

In the meantime, I tried making porridge from scratch for the first time since I was about 8, an Icelandic variation with cinnamon and vanilla. It was nice but it's definitely a weekend thing - our stove takes forever to heat up.

This might be a food abomination but I blend up oats, then it takes 2 mins in the microwave to make porridge.

It's not fancy Icelandic porridge though.

During the week I use the sachets and cook it in water which is probably a bigger abomination, haha.
