    Nice to see you back Fire_Fox  :)

    Caronc i hope your Ex SIL isn't too poorly

    I've not been outside the door today so not sure how hot it is but it looks over cast.  Farway I know what you mean about the rain my garden is very hard to try and dig at the moment, it doesn't seem long ago we were complaining about too much rain  :)  I have arranged for the gardener to come out next week and give the garden a tidy and dig it over and where my dogwoods were (he cleared them after Christmas) eventually I plan to put a greenhouse there but for this year I'll put in some courgettes (which are just coming up in the mini greenhouse so once threat of frost has gone) and a runner bean wigwam, i swapped some french bean seeds for runner bean seeds with my sister although I have ended up potting them all on.   I've called it supporting a local self employed person  :* we can discuss anything from a safe distance and i will pay him electronically 

    Lunch was late after a hour call with our IT developers lasted 3 hours  :# definitely a need for a T and P when it finished and I could have a nap now as it went on for so long   :open_mouth:  

    Lunch was one and a half cold sausages LO from dinner last night (they are quite big so I didn't eat two last night)  in a wrap with mustard and mayo, raw spinach and beetroot.  I've taken the turkey mince i brought YS at the weekend out of the freezer and I'm going to make turkey meatloaf with a tomato glaze for dinner there will be LOs of course :|  it has plenty of chopped / grated veg in which I sauteed lunchtime so it will be cold to add to the mince later.  Not sure on what veg to go with I have runner beans and broccoli so probably those with mash potato.  I have a cauliflower to use but i may make cauliflower cheese tomorrow night and have it with LOs

    Thanks, Brambling!
    Sounds delish, Caronc, whose harissa paste do you have? Or DIY?

    Chilli con carne (Bolognese sauce, leftover chick peas, sweetcorn, chipotle paste) with YS cheesey jacket spud for dinner. Yuck.

    Roasted a red onion and couple of wrinkly yellow peppers alongside the potato.
    Grated and froze a block of mature cheddar that had been poorly wrapped and started drying out.

    YS Finest Chicken, Prawn, Chorizo Paella out of the freezer for tomorrow. Will not repurchase, needs too much 'doctoring' to be useful for ICE rations.

    I think I'm putting on weight. Must be all the bread I've been eating as I've now bought two loaves in quick succession.  At 2am this morning I was eating a noodle pot :) 

    Yesterday I ended up having: 1 tomato sandwich, 1 paste/tomato sandwich, 1 paste sandwich, 1 jam sandwich, 1/2 bar of chocolate, packet of crisps, noodle pot.  

    Scoffathon overload really.

    Thanks CG, solved a problem for me.
    Today is my Ice£and delivery, arriving between 5 & 7, which is my dinner time, and we all just know they will arrive at the precise moment the plate gets on the table
    I had thought of a stab & ping but realise I've a YS cheese & onion pastie in the freezer, so I'll oik that out to defrost, and it'll give me a smidgen more space for this evening's arrival
    Lunch will be an egg sarnie, sort of dippy egg etc re imagined
