Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Morning. Bit dull but today could be grass cutting day

Face masks solved, I think, there is a local designer lady hand printing & making them, proper artist for a living type person & lives nearby, on order & I'll collect once finished.

They'll be the first bit of designer clothing I will have worn.

Mine will have Spitfires on it. There must be a big opportunity for themed football club ones surely, or branded / charity ones, like carrier bags?

Dragons' Den here I come

Lunch, I thought I had some sausage rolls frozen but yet another false memory   Looking like cheese & salady sarnie again

Dinner, use up the on offer Pukka veggie pie, has to be with frozen chips because I've used all the fresh spuds and no more until C & C on Sunday, no way I'm going out just for spuds with a freezer stuffed full of frozen chips

W2000, forget the haircuts, I'm off to podiatrist on Friday, wooo hooo

With your designer gear you won't want to talk to us anymore Farway 😁

I've hairdresser envy Wednesday my appointment isn't until the 25th 😐

i picked my first runner beans tonight there were more ready than I thought so probably a couple of portions and I avoided checking the courgettes as they're multiplying  . 

Lunch was egg and cheese salad dinner was courgette and rice filo pie with asparagus and HG French beans.  I forgot I usually half the pie recipe so I'll be eating it for a few meals 🙄 there were enough French beans for a couple of meals

I'm about to have a PB and banana toastie.

Early start for the tootsie trimming, all done except it's so long since I used my credit card I messed the PIN up and now I have the rigmarole of resetting it.

Good job I've time to spare

Designer face coverings collected, but not tried on yet

Feed & watered the pots out the back, it's very muggy at the moment, flying ant day was yesterday but there are a few stragglers around

I skipped breakfast due to early start

Lunch, thinking grilled cheese on toasted crusts, with piccalilli

Dinner, maybe frozen breaded cod fillet, frozen chips & frozen peas?

Or given the heat I may go for salad with cheesy baked spud

More blackberries & red currants ready, plus last of the gooseberries. I may pick & stew them.

Gradually accumulating enough for a monster crumble

As I was mowing the grass yesterday I noted I have more apples than initially thought.

I think I'll start getting sugar added to my C & C order just in case. I rarely use sugar so a bag lasts forever and hate to find that when i need it there's not enough

I did a 6000 step walk this morning. It is really warm here. I had pitta, houmous, cherry toms and olives when I got in.

gt568 your 3 posts recently are imo disgusting. You have certainly put me off posting on a thread when the regulars think your comments are OK about a well thought of member. I sincerely hope your vile comments are wrong

I disappeared because I'm like that.  Change is unsettling and I find it difficult to re-engage at times. 
All OK here.... been eating nothing spectacular as I've not got my cooking dishes here, very little freezer space, have to work round other people if they're about, so it's easiest just to keep it simple and nuke something.   I've had a couple of fish finger toasties, four burgers/cheese, an Iceland ready meal.  I've just popped out to buy a pack of four burgers and some flatbreads. 

I've been at the storage this morning, I boxed up 5 very small boxes of "misc cr4p" and three small boxes of ... well, something, can't really remember now.  These had been in aldi bag for lifes as they're easy to fill and move about - but they were cluttering up the storage, whereas boxes are stackable to a greater degree.  I removed from storage "dangerous things". I should've done it before but sat back with a guilty/fearful mindset.  I knew that somewhere in there there was a part used gas bottle for refilling lighters, there were some lighters kicking about, there were some nail varnish bottles, there might've been a couple of other aerosol type things.... so as I was sorting through things today I removed all those items that "might be dangerous" - with more superhot weather predicted and with none of the above having exploded in the past I was mentally ready to go and get them out   

I've also just lugged back to my room about 20-30 microwave rice pouches and the final 10 noodle pots.  These need to be eaten, but, when I first moved I'd just popped them into storage a couple of days before the move as I didn't want to overburden myself with stuff to lug up two flights of stairs on day 1, especially as I didn't even know what the room looked like until I got the key    

SCORCHIO here.....

You might see/hear of some court cases in the future... in short: Many images are not to be used for what they call "resale".  e.g. Disney are super super super hot on it.   If you buy a roll of material that's got, say, Mickey Mouse on it you can turn that into whatever you like.... but you can never sell that item.  To sell that item you need to get a license from Disney, which they'd refuse to sell to you.  It happens with many lesser brands too - on crafting sites I've seen a shedload of people "in trouble" for buying printed paper napkins from the shop, then decoupaging items and selling the items online at at craft fairs.  The license for that image was for the napkin manufacturer to produce napkins and is not for a decoupaged vase/whatever. 

There'll be lots of image protectors looking for people to take to court for reselling their image without a license.
