Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

Chub club weigh-in this morning - I lost 2 lbs
In the past 2 weeks, I've lost the 6 lbs I gained in the previous 2 months :T
8 lbs to goal and I'm determined to do it this time (hopefully by the end of April)

Tempted to do nothing this afternoon but I'll probably help Mr MWC declutter his office and then accompany him on a walk into town. Oh and we need to buy chicken feed.

My brother is on holiday in the Azores - another destination to add to my must visit list :cool:

Only 15,500 steps today!

Last of the LO haggis for dinner (our version of Cyrus Todiwala's haggis & potato cakes again - haggis mixture topped with swede and potato and baked rather than fried)

Plan for tomorrow:

- clean bathroom
- tidy conservatory/move stuff to the shed
- make a crumble for dessert using fruit from the freezer (homegrown rhubarb, apples & plums from neighbour and foraged blackberries) and don't eat any myself!
- sow more seeds
- re-pot my streptocarpus and give them some TLC

Blooming chickens :mad: I threw them a couple of handfuls of mixed corn this morning instead of their usual sunflower seeds and mealworms; they turned their beaks up and as I turned to leave Miss Hattie actually ran up to me and pecked me on the ankle!!!

Aww how cute to read. Though maybe not to be pecked

Much nicer day weather-wise than I thought it would be - just a couple of short-lived, not too heavy showers and plenty of sunshine :T

Mr MWC excelled himself in the kitchen again: slow-roast leg of lamb cooked on a rack over a roasting tin of sliced potatoes & onions in lamb stock served with little gem lettuce tossed in a wholegrain mustard dressing :drool:

PSB with LO watercress pistou and OOD gnocchi for dinner - delicious again
