Cooking for one (Mark Three)

We must have cross posted PN, sorry to hear things are any easier 🤗

It is windy here but less cold.
I was hungry when I got in just now. I had two toasted pitta breads with houmous and tomatoes as well as some crisps.
I am not sure what to have tonight...

I fancy pizza now people on here mentioned it!

Unexpected trip out today so came back with YS lamb neck fillet, not sure what to do with it, but a nice curry next week sounds reasonable. Chippy chips in about an hour though...

I was going to buy chippy chips on the way home.

I just had a whole packet of salted peanuts! I bought two packets yesterday and I knew they would be both gone by today, lol.

It's what Fridays were invented for

A lot of pork chops in CFO land Unrecordings 🙂

Reminds me that I need to make a pilgrimage to the pork butcher I used to frequent on the way to chemo, not been there for about a year but he had fantastic chops and there's a lovely Italian deli a couple of doors down too

Evening all my phone line has died and therefore my internet so I’m working with fat thumbs on my phone, anything could be typed. BT say should be fixed by end of 26th Feb  I think it’s the second time in a year and last time they took over a week and chasing to fix

Lunch was beef cheek ragu from the freezer, I like having the wiggle room in there but I’m running low on HM RMs so may have to think what to put in without taking up all the space

Lunch was a big portion so no dinner yet maybe fruit and cheese if I get hungry in a bit

'morning folks

I had an early start after porridge breakfast, first weekend forecast of not chucking it down, so I took the opportunity to get started on my volunteer gardening, Planted some Stargazer lilies, I have them in my garden & the scent fills the air so hoping same will occur, I've put them in pots, near a road & zebra crossing, but far enough away from fence to deter thieving, and pollen getting on passers by

I'd just about finished when the drizzle started, some forecast that was, now it's wind & drizzle

With the weather change I've taken a six pack of Heck bangers out to defrost, I note they've been in freezer since 4/18 

I'll probably cook the lot in the oven and make a big pot of mash later, dinner looking like bangers, mash & beans with planned LOs

Lunch, the sarnie toaster is still on the work top, so it's another cheese toastie for lunch

Do you think the floods & trees down have something to do with the delay? higher priorities & junction boxes under a couple of feet of water

What a lovely thing to do. I love Stargazers but I got fed up of replacing containers in the front garden due to theft. Lol keep them to myself in the back now. Would love to see a pic when they are in flower please.

That would involve speaking to someone to ask the question Farway and it’s all automated  when I had a problem with the line last year they also said 4 working days and then it took about 10 as they marked it as fixed and I had to chase to reopen.  A lot of people are a lot worst off and I have a mobile even if carp signal at home.  Just annoying.  

Another day in Chichester cancelled this time by my sister as there are some delays and the threat of replacement buses her way.  My other sister and I are now going to try the new Turkish restaurant in town for lunch as we reckon that’s the money we would have spent on train fare and lunch and coffee out 

dinner will hopefully need only be a snack as I’m hoping for a decent lunch
