A little bit of this and that

 Hello dear friends,  how are you all doing?

White roses and lavender in the bathroom is always nice

Todays post is going to be one of complete randomness, pickled onions, the skirt I am sewing, looking out my window at a passing boat and let's see what else there is.

One of my favourite things to do is pickle onions. My DH enjoys them very much,  so makes it all worth it even if it does bring a few tears to my eyes when peeling off the skins.  Always lovely to have bottles on the pantry shelf and makes you feel domesticated, rather than buying them from the shop and nothing beats a jar of homemade pickled onions, if you ask him. Actually I am not really a fan, preferring mine roasted, fried or even raw in salads.

My dear old Dad used to always be the one who pickled onions for our family,  so makes me think of him when I do this task.

Here is the recipe, that I use.

Making some pleats on the grey silk skirt, I am sewing

Looked out the window while I was having lunch and this naval boat (I think that is what it is) was doing manoeuvers, so I raced and got the camera.
The colour of the sky and clouds looked very pretty

I think you all know by now that Google reader is finishing at the beginning of July.
Change is inevitable sometimes whether we want it or not.
