I've followed up one of the Good Ideas that was suggested on Sunday, and now have an appointment with the manager at Ruscello's, a lovely Italian restaurant in Romsey, about holding a fundraising event there - I'm not sure yet of any details, and there are different ways this can be run, as explained here. But hopefully it will appeal to lots of people so that I can get closer to my target.
I've booked appointment with travel nurse for rabies & meningitis jabs - on previous trips I've not felt the need for these, but this time it seems to me that the risk might be higher because of the location of the schools and other projects that I'm likely to be visiting. Hopefully I'm being over cautious.
Marmalade making this evening - it's the first time I've made this because I don't like the stuff at all, but so many people have asked for it (including a whisky variation) that I've given it a go. I have no idea if it's OK - I've sampled all the other preserves that I've made, but there is no way I'm trying these!! It looks very pretty.
In between batches I had a surprise visit from Juli who brought some empty jars - very good timing, because I'm running out!!
The marmalade helps meet orders from colleagues - yesterday I emailed everyone where I work to let them know I'll be selling jams etc later in the week, and already have had orders for 10 jars, which is terrific.
It looks like blackberry jam is next to be made after I've done a final batch of marmalade (with ginger this time) - they are really early this year and those at my allotment are ripening as fast as I can pick them!
