    Morning, dinner today is chicken wings in a honey and soy sauce glaze, with chips and or salad. Lunch...pot noodles I think as we are woefully short on options beyond the usual sandwich

    small portion of cheesy pasta at lunch time.
    Dinner will be cous cous, mainly I want a change from rice and pasta,not to mention it sort of suits the beautiful sunny weather. To that end, I'll do a side salad of tomato, cucumber, avocado. With chicken legs bbq flavour or similar, don't have the packaging anymore.

    Eeek, whoops! Can you just 'turn' the gravel so the paint is underneath?
    Lunch was a mish mash with cucumber,  raw carrot (I'm odd, i like raw carrot with ketchup), some cheese and a couple of M&S courgette and cheese things i picked up at the weekend.
    Dinner was LO tuna mayo from DH sarnies this week with an added spring onion and dijon mustard, topped with cheese and grilled on toast.
    Casserole made, used up some bits and bobs lile spuds I'm sure i bought around xmas time! There's prob 6 portions if not more so will have to find room in the freezer for it now.

    i mopped up as much as i could at the time but the gravel is dark in colour and the paint was natural stone so it stands out, i have taken the top latyer of it off and at the weekend im going to get a couple of bags to replace it - only me!

    Kerri- what a nightmare for you, had to be on the hottest day of the year didn’t it 🤣
    we had kebabs last night, teriyaki chicken and lamb kofta, both from Aldi, with salad and flatbreads we’ll have the rest of them tonight with raspberries and cream from the garden for pud 😊

    Oh no, it's something that I could easily do as well. Just be thankful it's something that can relatively easily be covered up. I need to paint our fence next year and we have a very pale sandstone patio next to it....I am breaking out in a sweat at the thought already!

    Still hot hot hot here - storms predicted tonight so not sure what dinner will be but something easy to enjoy the garden for the evening (unlikely to be rib sticking casserole though lol!)
