Also 2 loads of washing done & dried. Did some batch cooking this morning while the kitchen was cool. Chicken & peppers in black bean sauce and chicken fajitas with peppers & courgettes. Sat down & rested between jobs 😊

Just had fajitas for dinner, 1 portion warmed up with wraps, natural yoghurt, grated cheese & fresh chopped tomatoes. 😋 The rest is portioned up & in the freezer. 2 wraps left also popped in the freezer. 

This afternoon it was too hot to do much so I lounged on the sofa with the patio doors open & there was a cool breeze. I watched a film The Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen. Also had a nap 😴

Received an email from george to say both refunds have been made. PayPal emailed me yesterday to say they had one & it was being repaid to my credit card. The other parcel I paid for direct with my credit card so that should get repaid straight to my card. 😊

I love that film. OMG the theme tune Windmills of your Mind is in my head now and Steve McQueen. YUM. I am so pleased the refunds have happened. The food sounds great.

Grey skies & light rain here today. 

I weighed myself this morning. On 15/3/20 I was 11st 5 and since lockdown I have fluctuated up and down between 11st 5 & 11st 3. On 28/6/20 I was 11st 3. Today I am 11st 2 🤗 How did that happen 😆

Food for today will be
b - pilchards on toast 
L - roast chicken dinner
d - salad (if hungry) with cheese or hard boiled egg or leftover chicken 

I also plan to tackle the rest of my list

-sort cardboard for recycling & polystyrene in utility room ready for bin as DS & gf have not got round to re-booking for the tip

-sew hem on curtains at kitchen patio doors 

-clean hob 

Should be a steady relaxing day

Thing is, just lately I’ve been doing less & eating more ! Much less walking after hurting my foot & then my back. 

Didn’t do any of the jobs on my list today 😆 Made a roast for lunch 😋 Leftovers portioned up for 2 more roast dinners & shredded chicken for lunches, salads, wraps etc, all put in freezer. Have washed up pans & steamer & dishwasher now on. 

The rain stopped about 4pm so I went out & weeded the alley at the back of the house. It has membrane & stones out there but a few weeds still grow on top. They can’t send down deep roots so come up really easily. Only took about 20 minutes, half a carrier bag full emptied into garden recycling bin. Noticed the gates becoming loose & some screws missing. Found some longer screws in my stash & screwed them in. Now back to lounging on the sofa 😊

Well done on weeding the alley and doing the washing up and prepping food. Im going to weigh myself tomorrow when the new scales come ordered from internet.

Glad you are still getting stuff done, even if it's hurting, you must feel good seeing results, but don't forget to pace yourself too...

I don’t do stuff if it’s hurting. Just keep moving & pottering around. 

Puppy dog had gone to doggy hospital 😢 she’s been vomiting, listless, shaking & diaorrea & vet said low pulse so she has to stay overnight so they can X-ray & monitor her. Hopefully she’ll be ok by the morning. 😢
