There's nothing better to sort out the soul than to clean the house and then spend the afternoon gardening.

<a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/chicken-morrocanfeb17.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4203" src="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/chicken-morrocanfeb17-200x150.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a>Today I decided to extend my cooking prowess by making a Moroccan style chicken dish. Most of the time I'm either using cooking sauces of minced beef, lamb or diced chicken or I'm microwaving ready-meals. Today I followed a <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/moroccan-style_chicken_47173" target="_blank">BBC food recipe</a> and even though I say so myself it turned out really delicious with three further chicken breasts in the freezer. It tasted better than it looks.

The garden is starting to come to life even though winter is not over yet and there's still time for frosts. A few hours whenever the sun shines and I can keep on top of it - the joints start to ache a bit but that's because I don't get out often enough.

And to finish the day I fired up the woodburner and snuggled down in front of the TV to watch the usual rubbish.
