Charity Work

Dutch Curried Pea Soup

Ocean View from the Dunbar Fort

Good Evening all.  Hope everyone is having, or has had a good Monday.  I had a great day.  Woke up kind of late again.  But got up and put on the sneakers and hit the pavement.  I walked 3 miles today.  Was an interesting walk through the high street, down to the harbor, along the beach, past the church and then home.  There are so many different trails and paths to walk around this town that I could walk every day and not get bored by the scenery.  I have to get back into running too.  There are a lot of little foot paths where I can run like the wind.  Have to build up that endurance, which is lacking in me hahahaha.  After my walk, I had made plans to make the South African Dutch Curried Pea Soup for dinner, so I had to walk to ASDA to get the ingredients to make it. My dad went with me and when we got back from the store, I put the soup together and on the stove to simmer away for a couple of hours.  My dad watched the soup for me as I was headed into town to work at the charity shop my mom volunteers at.  I had so much fun helping out.  I got to use the tag gun to add price tags to the clothes, I went through jigsaw puzzles and books, and helped put prices on them.  Thank you to Val for letting me help out.  My services are available to you for the next however many Mondays I am here lol.  After helping out at the store, we headed home where I finished up the soup.  It turned out SO delicious.  It's one of those soups that you can't really mess up.  Now we are just relaxing.  I am catching up on my blog and my moms on her ipad and my dad on his laptop.  Tomorrow we are going to head into Edinburgh to return some shirts I got that didn't fit, and then we will walk the Royal Mile.  I think my dad might actually go with us tomorrow, so we will get some photos taken.  Before I end for tonight, a very hApPy BiRtHdAy to my sweet Cameron.  He turns 7 today.  I am going to face time with him later, so looking forward to that.  Have a good night all :-)
