🍀Happy everything green day! Chocolate mint features highly on my list of things to consume today - LOL

Am intrigued by the quinoa chat - I have some languishing and not at all sure what to do with it - may try a breakfast bowl with it similar to porridge - OH says it is too close to couscous in texture so he's not keen to consume what's left.

I was going through everything looking for green and then I found the shamrock and the clover ☘🍀

Most recipes mix it up with stuff, RT, but I like to choose for myself what I mix it with, ta muchly, so I cooked it on its own.  You could eat it as porridge, of course, I'm not quite sure how delish it would be 😛

I'm going to keep on with it - it doesn't take long to cook, its very compact to store (much more so than pasta!) and I'm reading that although its 4% protein, which isn't high, its a **complete** protein - very unusual for vegetarian items, I think only soy is like that.

I'm in an *extremely* bad mood, for the simple reason that I'm contemplating more episodes of trying shoes on.  I did carry out my plan of going to Mountain Warehouse yesterday, and hated it - men's shoes, women's shoes, low rise because my ankle bones stick out, wide feet, different sized feet.  Prices up to £85 (15% discount offered because I involuntarily said I wasn't going to pay £100 for walking shoes) and **still** nothing fitted.  I couldn't even walk down the stairs from the men's department like a normal person, had to do it one step by one step, in case my knee collapsed again.  

And this morning I've been looking at:
Hotter - even more expensive than M/Warehouse.
M&S - yeah but no but yeah.
Millets - oh!  possible, good price range, range of width fittings, the local shop is completely open at the front, kind of bifold doors.

Sister has offered to drive me to Hotter - 20 minutes from me, or a bigger one an hour from me, which is kind.  I should check out Millets before I take her up on that.

**stamps foot loudly, over and over**

Just so you know I HATE SHOES.  And socks & slippers for that matter.  I'm not that fond of shopping for clothes either for that matter.  Now put me in front of a shelf of interesting jigsaws & I'll browse for ages, even a handicraft shop would keep me occupied for quite a while.  When my sister last dragged me out shopping I tried a pair on hated them & said can we go now this isn't going to work.  I landed up getting clothes that finally went to the charity shop a few months ago having never been worn.

Another here who HATES shoe shopping!  I bought walking boots a size and a half too big in order to get the toe room I needed and they took a bit of getting used to (the instep felt wrong) but were very comfortable after a few hundred miles. They are getting very worn and have holes but I just can’t bear the thought of doing the trying on but again!

I have some Skechers walking shoes from Brantano when they have sale on. They are very comfortable

badmemory and Ramouth, thank you so much!  It feels quite isolating.

Suffolk Lass - aha!  my sister has some skechers, and she swears by them.  Looking at them and Sports Direct, who *sell* skechers.  I might do it yet!

Bleugh.Shoes.
I swear by All Rounder Niro.
Expensive but worth it.
Depending on the support you need Sketchers may not be the best.

Wow, I googled that, they look amazing, really gorgeous.

I was supposed to go to Millets today to look at shoes - nice open air environment because of bifold doors, good price range, very local, but I'm very tired after yesterday's meeting (U3A spaceflight).  I absolutely loved it, it was great as we also talked about science fiction 🚀 but its just made me very tired today.

Instead?  
- done the baby HWs, got about a pound from total of both days.
- just done a YG survey, 50 pts for 10 mins.
- recovered yesterday enough so that I put the d/w and w/m on, that was useful.

Today?
- cooking beans I started soaking on Sunday   
- washing machine on again, for the clothes I wore yesterday.
- PLANT THE SEEDS, FOR HEAVENS SAKE, ITS 21ST MARCH.  NOW IS THE TIME!!!
- that'll do
