1 Winter sun so I set to with a few garden tasks and got carried away clearing algae off a plastic shed that faces the wrong way.
2 Croissants on Croissant day, a pleasant coincidence for lunch as it was more like I was going through the freezer and forgot I left them on the top.
3 Dinner from freezer is steak with veg and new pots.
4 Making plans for as many bee friendly plants as possible for the front and back garden, and happy to see a few sunflowers must have had leftover seeds as they are growing already from being left along in pots.

For yesterday,
A bright, sunny day.
Dug out a can of chickpeas and made a dish of houmous, had some for lunch.
Over to the yard, worked girlie in the school and she is obviously feeling the fast approaching springtime, pleasure is we stayed together!
Home and small dog barked to advise me that I was a tad late giving her tea, it had only just gone 4.30 but in her eyes obviously a lot later 🙈
Uni Challenge and then watched the penultimate Happy Valley.

Hello.It is absolutely horrendous outside. Lashing with rain and hailstones and so windy. Glad I’m inside.
Up early for work.
Quick doggy walk before I went in.A bunch of tulips and daffodils on way home from supermarket.
Home. Kind of pottered around. Moving a few things around.Was going to make spag bol however I didn’t have mince in the freezer. But did have chopped steak so threw that in the slow cooker with tomatoes and veggies. Had that with pasta for tea.
For lunch I made a couple of little cheese scones in the airfryer.Cuddles with my doggy. He’s always nearby especially the day after I’ve been at work. In a kind of well if I sit on you you can’t leave.Another early start tomorrow. Same weather I think!11 -

1. Presentation went well, interview think I answered the questions but I know there are a few things that I should have included. Find out by the weekend.

4. Mini Magnum lolly out of the freezer.

Pleasures for today (Tuesday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Went to Waitrose for lunch and shopping.
3) Did a bit of Arabic.
4) Did a load of washing. I thought I had suddenly become incontinent in the middle of the night but my hwb had split!
5) Went to the football and our team won 3-1! We haven't won at home for many months.
6) In bed with the remaining hwb.
7) The midlife crisis is nearly over. He is quite petulant and annoying.10 -
For yesterday,
Cleaned downstairs, took the winter garland off the Bessemer beam, changed the seasonal decs on the mantlepiece and put out a couple of yellow & green candles, all ahead of Imbolc today.
Washing dried on line.
Over to the stables, worked girlie in school and she was much better behaved but think we both need to up our fitness levels!
Leaving the yard at twilight and saw a barn owl flying down the ditch at the side of the lane.
Tasty tea of rtc salmon with Pak Choi, rice and plenty of ginger.
