In Part One of Kerry and Stuart learn to cook, we are making Moroccan Lamb Tagine for "tea" tonight. We do have problems with our cooking dynamic, as Kerry accuses Stu of taking over and dominating cooking, he tells her she'd only get bored of it anyway and then she does. But I am serious about this and today I cubed lamb bits with the utmost attention.
Today I read "The Guardian" in print, and it was fantastic though I can't wait to get The Observer and The Times tomorrow. Yesterday we joined the Lancashire Library, and I got a ton of books (though sadly they had not one Margaret Drabble) including Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer, which apparently inspired a song by The Cure, and was one of my favourites as a child, along with Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce and A Handful of Time by Kit Pearson, as I went through my obsession with time travel. It's still a really good story.
Have to go take on the lamb now. This weeks been one of great fretting and dislocation but I think things are coming down to earth.
