We have been away and had a fantastic time. Thoroughly recommend staying in this country - though I do want to go abroad again - I want to go everywhere (well, nearly everywhere).

Since we returned I have been to see my parents. It had been a while. I have been rather lazy since then but did try making pasta, which I have been meaning to attempt for ages. I made it into ravioli filled with ricotta and spinach, even though I halved the filling recipe and made two thirds of the pasta recipe I had a lot of left over filling so filled some cannelloni shells with the remainder, put a sauce and some cheese on the top and baked it in the oven. It all worked quite well but was very time consuming. Also the raviolli needed more than a sage butter 'sauce' for my liking. In order to avoid pasta overload today I made the mince I had bought for meatballs into a cottage pie. I like having the time to do a little cooking.

I really need to do house jobs tomorrow.
