Get a grip !

Raining here today & much cooler. Have walked the dog & found her a few ripe blackberries to munch along the way. 😁

I have chopped up the remaining broccoli & cauliflower & steamed it. It’s now cooling on a tray ready to be frozen & once frozen on the tray it will then will be bagged up in the freezer. It’s great just to be able to grab a handful when needed or chucked in curry / stir fry. 

I am taking friend to tip again later this morning. Hope it stops raining by then. Not sure if we are doing anything after that.

Bet PD enjoyed the fruit!
It definitely makes sense freezing and portioning spare veg when cooking for one.
Hope the tip trip went well and you're having a relaxing afternoon.

I hope your rain cleared up it rained by me all day and has just stopped by me. This freezing portions of veg is a brilliant idea.

Managed the trip to the tip between heavy rain. Then went to the range and bought a bench for the garden reduced from £109 to £24! Apparently there should have been a bench, chair & table but the rest of the set did not arrive so they are selling off the benches for £24. 😁

We dropped the bench off at my house then we went to wilko & they had reduced their garden chairs (which match the bench from the range) to £10 each so I bought 4! 

We parked in mat alan free for 2 hours & Wilko is just opposite. It’s amazing what you can fit in my tardis 😆 I also got a belt in mat Alan in the sale down from £5 to £3. All purchases will be paid for from the annual bills / household savings pot. 

Went back to friends house for a late lunch sandwich and cup of tea and watched a thunderstorm & lightening. 

Home now & it’s stopped raining and the sun has come out. I would sit on my new garden furniture but the dog has just accidentally head butted me on the nose 😢so I’m having a little lie down 🤦‍♀️

OMG what a bargain bench and it's great that you got a belt in sales. Thunderstorms were all day by me. Go and have a lie down doggie is asking you for a treat now as they want a bargain too !

They are bargains and will provide a relaxing outside space for the cooler days.

It was cloudy and cool this morning had a lovely dog walk. This afternoon the sun is out. I am just trying to summon up the energy to cut the grass. 

Had a naughty kfc last night. Have got fish stew out of the freezer for tonight. My nose is still sore even though I sat with ice on it last night & took painkillers. I must remember not to touch it 🙄 at least I don’t have 2 black eyes 😆

You were entitled to a kfc after that. I hope it get's better today but it is quite worrying. I had a walk and havent done anything else.

I'm so sorry, I missed what PD did! Hope the pain eases soon and she's not broken it.

Rest up today and do the lawn another time.

PD pushed into Skinty but it was on her face! I hope you are better Skinty.
