The sun was shining and it was time to bake. To be honest, I had made the puff pastry the other night because it could be kept it in the fridge to chill for 24 hours. The ingredients for this giant sausage roll were yum. It was made of minced 
chicken, pistachios, mango chutney and bread crumbs. So I managed to whip this filling up in no time at all.
What was distracting was the house renovation which has taken on a demolition twist…that awful “pulling down my beloved 1940s bungalow” stage which I hate. My bedroom has gone from bay window
with the sun streaming in to 
boarded 
up nightmare!!! Not sure where I’ll be sleeping tonight but with the edges of the walls open to the night air where cockroaches and crickets and all manner of wildlife can enter, I might be relegating myself to the office bed. Luckily my husband is overseas.
So one very successful giant sausage roll later, made to the background harmony of saws, chisels and grinding destruction, we set about eating it. My daughter needed to go to her dance class, (and so did I) so we wolfed it down with a quick 
Greek salad. 
Yum.
We have a very intelligent spider living in the car port, (NOT!) which insists on building its web between the clothes line and the car!! Uhhh, ya think? Anyway, I noticed it had built a new web between the car and the post so was careful to avoid going this way. In a hurry yesterday, I forgot about it, raced through and destroyed it. Oops. Lo and behold, today 
when I looked, it had reconstructed the perfect web in the same spot. (Might have to look at moving that spider permanently!)
Transience is the way of the world and it’s not whether there will be change in life, but how we cope with it that matters. Needless to say, I do see the bigger picture around the demolition of our house and despite it not being pleasant, it’s necessary. Not as easy for the spider, but look how fast he/she got on with replacing its home.
