Today has been so hot again, although thankfully it was overcast for most of the day, so it wasn’t the same scorching heat. Yesterday was hot HOT hot, so much so that when Nick took the boys swimming at 3.30, I went too and even swam. The water was about 32. We had the usual day yesterday, so nothing particular to say about it, except that I made a sort of chicken casserole cum stew for lunch – for those with a sweet tooth, here’s the recipe (not completely my invention – the soup and coke are an old favourite): fry a chopped onion in a pot, brown approx 500g cubed chicken breast fillets slightly, added about four sliced carrots and three cubed potatoes, then sprinkled a packet of dry brown onion soup over and added a can of coke. Let it simmer in the pot like a stew. I added a bit of extra water because it was getting quite thick, and then simmered it for just over an hour, I think. Of course, probably not a very healthy meal, considering all that sugar in the coke, but oh well. Church last night was excellent – Nick did a topical sermon on “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing”, which was very relevant for our people, who can be taken in by every wind of doctrine.
We are into our last week of school now before a week of holidays. It was a bit tedious this morning, but we finished before 12. We’ve started a book called “Homer Price”, about a boy who likes to make radios and tinker about with inventions, so it’s right up Caleb’s alley. It’s definitely a boy’s book!
