are you sure they weren't marrows threepenny_bit 😁 I grew some courgette that size, they hide under the leaves.
I seem to have killed my shredder 🥺 TBH I think I did it last time I used it, I usually take the paperwork to work so I've been collecting it for months, it shreds about 3 inches than stops and makes a lot of noise whilst doing nothing, in trying to fix it I made a mess of the floor before giving up. I've been told curry's recycle some small electrical goods so after lockdown may ask our local store if they do as it will be less painful than a hour queuing at the tip.
Lunch was falafels which have been lurking in he freezer with salad, dinner was also from the freezer stuffed pepper and beef tomato with rice, vegetables and feta.
Edit - I seemed to have blue text 🤔 not something I know how to do 🙄
👋three-penny bit from a very cold and murky Scotland
Good suggestion Loanranger21 I was going to suggest a spray of WD40
I'm pooch sitting again today, he's no bother at all and he's developed into a proper cheeky chappie.
Lots of admin to do today as I need to check I have everything I need for the school club virtual audit meeting tomorrow. That should keep me out of mischief. Apart from that I've not much planned though need to finalise my Tesco order that is due tomorrow.
Toastie for lunch I think and tonight we are having cheese omelettes, mushrooms, beans and AF chips.

Late finish to tonight after 7.30pm and we had lunch on the run, it wouldn't have been that late but a senior colleague kept saying she didn't need us to help her finish stuff and she did 🙄 in the end I went into the process document she was working from and took tasks and handed some to another team member and the manager, we were on a Teams call so she knew what I was doing. She doesn't like to delegate but I had visions of finishing midnight as we were waiting for her 🙄
lunch was a portion of ratatouille from the freezer with grated cheese on top. Dinner was pan fried sea bass fillets, new potatoes, French beans and broad beans

When I moved to this house we had a Baxi boiler behind the fire. It was great and I was sad to see it go when it became difficult to get parts for it.
Cold and grey here though dry.
Tesco has just been and I'm enjoying a quiet cuppa before I need to gather my braincells for the school club audit. I think I have everything needed so fingers crossed it goes smoothly.
I thoroughly enjoyed my cheese omelette yesterday something I must make more often.
Lunch will be a quick sarnie when I get a chance for a break and dinner tonight is tbc, possibly a posh fish finger sandwich or similar.
