Mud + Children = Happiness

rosa_heartlilyA year ago I was having a relaxing day playing DAV and watching Star Trek Prodigy (I didn't go back to it), and wondering why Square Enix don't seem to understand the need for a FFVIII remake!
Today began with a bath followed by breakfast. I did some washing over the course of the morning.
After slicing up the turkey yesterday, I boiled the bones to make stock then left it to cool overnight. Today, the fat had all floated to the top and the scummy bits had sunk to the bottom, leaving me with about a pint and a half of nice stock. I threw in some veg and mash from the freezer, and left over cold chicken and ham from the fridge and made a very nice soup. Husband and I both felt it would have been nicer with barley, though. Well, we live and learn.
I played a couple of hours of GoY. The story is really just a framework for the game, which is mostly wandering around finding points of interest and collecting bounties on the heads of the baddies. I found my first fox, today!
Daughter & co went for a walk in their local park and both grandbabies managed to get covered in mud. So cute!
Tea was more of a picky/picnic type thing with cheese on crackers and left over salad. I'm determined to throw away as little as possible.
Now I'm watching My Neighbour Totoro by Studio Ghibli. I've heard so much about their films (and, of course, I loved the Ni No Kuni games) and they're on Netflix, so I feel I really should watch at least some of them!
