i sort of managed to cook a meal today. by which i mean i cooked some vegetables and some rice pasta to go with the sweet-and -sour sauce i made yesterday. so it goes. i never have the energy to cook a whole meal in one go, but now that i;m done i've got four large prtions, so i'm happy with this minor achievement. also managed to wash up and water my little clutch of pot plants outside (mint, chives, rosemary and clematis - yep, you're right, can't eat the clematis, so that's a bit of an aberration, eh?)
