Here’s an interesting thing … We’ve had a bit of nasty flu etc going around the family this week, and the last three days have by necessity seen me taking to the captain’s position in the kitchen. Normally, I play second fiddle and do what I’m told, as the hours I work etc mean I’m normally very much a passer-through.
But I’ve loved it and its taken me back years to when I used to do a lot of baking etc. I had also completely forgotten what a kitchen control freak I was and how my sink and worktops must remain clear and disinfected at all times, lol.
Maybe its subconsciously because I know its only temporary – but there is something incredibly fulfilling about feeding and looking after everyone, a tremendous sense of value and satisfaction in just keeping them all going – in a way that merely getting money into the bank account doesn’t quite achieve. And another funny thing – I find the dishwasher a complete waste of time and nuch prefer to do it by hand …
Well, in the morning, I shall have to hand things over again – but its been great and I’ll miss it!
