Evening all

Back to CFO if I CBA . My BIL arrived just before 10am to pick up my sis and as much as I love her it's good to have the house back to myself and his lordship is happier as he's not sure about visitors staying over unless they're up first and can fill the food bowl :rotfl: luckily he's sleeps through fireworks with barely a ear twitch

At least the weather is better today I think a tree may have come down near me yesterday as my usual cut through was clear yesterday afternoon when we went to the garden centre and when I tried to go back that way an hour or so later the road was closed and during that time it was extremely wet and windy. I thought the firework display at the rugby club behind me would be cancelled last night but had a good view of it from the kitchen window with a G&T and unusually my road wasn't full of cars I'm assuming people thought the footpath shortcut by me would be too muddy to walk this year

I've caught up with the washing and seemed to have had a short nap this afternoon rather than making soup and now cba to do it, the freezer will be raided this week as I'm out most nights so no time to cook soup. It's my other sis birthday tomorrow so pizza e*press for dinner

As I said cba today so lunch was sardines on toast and dinner cheesy beans on toast, followed by cooked apples and blackberries I fear I've eaten too much bread today and will probably regret it later . Oh well back to some kind of routine tomorrow

Family visiting is always lovely Brambling but equally lovely to see them go.:rotfl::rotfl:
At some point in the next year or so I'm likely to have my elder son and his fiancee here for a few months as they hope to relocate back to Scotland and buy a house in the Glasgow area. I can see a lot of extra gin being drunk......;)

Shame about the salmon/rice not living up to expectations unrecordings at least there was lurking stollen:)

I actually saw the kind of thing I had in my mind (when I was still on Plan A and not even bought the fish) on a Hairy Bikers episode on the Food Network this afternoon - stodgy rice, fresh peas, flaked smoked haddock and some other stuff like langoustine tails, the latter not being part of Plan A

As for the stollen, I don't really have a sweet tooth, so we're scared of opening it, then it's a dash to eat it before it goes stale - in that sense you could say it lurks

unrecordings

In other news, due to yet another 'November, really November already ?' moment, tomorrow's breakfast is one of those boil in the bag kipper cutlets with maybe a couple of rounds of toast. Then off to an out of town shopping centre to see if their Holland & Barrett has any VBites (fka Redwoods) roasts in yet - should be in stock from last week. Then we need to buy sprouts, because we used the last of them in tonight's vegetable stew & dumplings - and I need some for tomorrow's pork loins which are currently defrosting (that's the CFO bit if you discount the cat who might get a separate bit of pork boiled up/unseasoned if she's nice

Got a mahoosive veg pizza, n cheesy garlic bread from foodhub last night, for a fiver!! They've got a voucher on HUKD at the mo .Bargain, and scrummy

PasturesNew

Yesterday I had a 2nd flatbread/kebab meat.

The 4sd4 £3 bag of frozen kebab meat is nice/edible. It's not got a donner taste, but it is similar/spicy and so is "good enough" in its own right. I nuked it, it came up nice and moist. Splash of ketchup (short-term address so can't be buying additional sauces as needing to keep occasional use items to a minimum).

4 more flatbreads in the pack, BBE today, so I'll have at least two more today. I've kebab meat, fish fingers, fishcakes that I could put into them.

Farway

Usual porridge breakfast, then off out again

Today is hopefully Autumn colours [+ camera] at an arboretum near Romsey. The forecast is sun & maybe showers so should be good enough

The cafe does a special of cuppa & bacon sarnie, that will be my mid morning snack

Lunch, eat out, got my eye [Gmaps] on a GC nearby, never been there but food reviews look good, and I like mooching round GCs just in case something needs a home

Dinner???? Too far off to think about

PasturesNew

I took a tumble earlier, one arm out of action.

I can state authoritatively that you can still make a meat/flatbread snack with one arm
