From memory, so far I've already managed to scoff my way through: 2 crumpets/marg, 2 sausage rolls, maybe a banana (can't remember), 1/4 of a cheesecake and a pack of doritos.1

Still damp outside but sun peeking through, the runners are still toppled. I'll stand them back up later even though forecast is wet & windy for Tuesday when I expect them to blow over againYour kitchen arrangements sound a bit muddled PN, especially walking down two flights of stairs to find someone taken over the spaceI'd be a bad co lodger though as I do tend to leave stuff everywhere, and right now have a beef joint in the slow cooker which will be there at least until 4Early start in the kitchen, the beef joint is one of the posh ones, defrosted overnight & into SC for tonight's dinnerPlus popped an Asd@ mixed seed & grain ready mix bread pack into the Panny, and just removed it, looking & smelling very tastyLunch will be a fried egg sarnie using the new loafDinner, full on roast again, but using SC beef, Aunty B roasties, steamed cabbage, use up broccoli, carrots and maybe some HG runners / French beans if I spot anyEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens2

Good afternoon everyone,
It's a wet and rather chilly day here just 13C with a definite hint that Autumn might not be that far off. The stove may well get lit later. I've not long finished a video call with my elder son in Greece where it's over 30C and they were just off to have a swim now the fierce heat of day was over before heading to a beach taverna for dinner. What a contrast!! I had intended to do some gardening this afternoon but the weather put paid to that, I don't mind chilly but draw the line at weeding in the rain.

Evening
Another grey day and other than taking cat food back to the pet shop as I picked up the wrong one ?I haven't been out. I just got the washing in 75% dry when the skies opened lunch time and by the time I had hung it upstairs the rain had stopped, we've had occasional storms all afternoon, so typical weekend weather
Nice family dinner last night for my nephew's birthday we had a Chinese takeaway and too much was ordered, I made healthy choices and then they shared their not so healthy choicesthat followed by a small slice of chocolate birthday cake meant I was searching for the Rennie 2am this morning, it's been a long time since I've had a takeaway other than fish and chips a couple of times this year (once in lieu of my birthday meal under lockdown)

Good afternoon everyone,
After a wet & chilly day yesterday it's lovely and sunny here today. I've spent most of the morning on the phone but finally got the out of school club insurance sorted out - 7 calls and numerous emails & texts later!!!
No beefy LOs here, we scoffed our steaks. Tonight we are off to a local pub for dinner, it's a "chips with everything" kind of place but everything is freshly made and well cooked so the food is usually lovely, though portions tend to be not for the faint hearted! Consequently lunch if just a couple of crackers with lobster pate and some fruit.
