An unexpectedly long weekend, thanks to 8 inches of snow on Sunday night, which ground the whole city of London to a halt on Monday. I was pretty effectively stranded at home for the day seeing as buses, Underground lines and trains had stopped running and I require all three to get to work.
Still, a nice unexpected day at home, consisting of hot beverages, a walk to the park, being snowballed by delinquent teenagers, the start of Season 2 of the Sopranos - oh yes and a bit of remote working.
Over the weekend I received not one but two cookbooks so Saturday was spent proving that I can cook as well as anyone with the letters n,i,g,e and l in their name. Made Nigel Slater's Potato & Mushroom Pie (which turned out to not be pie at all) and Nigella Lawson's New York Cheesecake. (The capital letters are meant to reflect how much time and effort this recipe-following involved - mostly in sourcing ingredients and a suitably sized springform cake tin.)
After expressing mutual disinterest in schlepping out to IKEA on a Saturday, Gareth and I decided not to get a new sofa after all. On Sunday we ordered one online. It arrives on the 14th.
