Good afternoon everyone,The sun was out earlier but it's grey and looking like rain now.Not long back from the hairdressers, my first cut in over a year now back to a jaw length tapered bob.Pooch sitting for my sister's dog overnight, he due to arrive soon and then the mayhem will begin!
Cooked a chicken & veg stew last night so LOs of that for lunch. Pork fajitas for dinner.0 -
Not much cooking here today as been out for afternoon tea and the cinema.
What did you see, Wednesday?
Had a late breakfast of scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast. Then walked to do a smallish grocery shop before spending the afternoon and evening sitting down and eating 😉1 -

Catch up morning for me and I popped into town to pickup something and my free loaf of bread from my M & S smarts card. I was led astray by the new charity shop where our old post office was and picked up some books from authors I like 🙂. They had so many cookery books there but having succumbed to a new one recently by Nisha Katona I walked away, luckily I only put a hour on the car so no time to browse. Having brought my new cook book I had to smile as my Amazon 'suggestion' section included fire extinguishers

Oh yes, spam fritter. I couldn't think what the name of it was yesterday. I used to really like banana fritters.
I haven't had anything to eat yet. I had a lie-in today, lovely!2025 GOALS

Good morning everyone,
Peace has returned, my sis has collected her pooch and DS2 has taken Hector for a walk. It is good fun having them both here, they just play and play, but exhausting. My says Ari usually crashes for hours when he comes back from staying here. Hector's "batteries" seem to be on instant recharge!
Cloudy and chilly here today. Usual Sunday kitchen potter and get some food prep done. I'm back to physio tomorrow and know I won't feel like doing much afterwards so will get some meals organised today. I've a duck defrosted that we'll have it roasted today and with noodles tomorrow. LO fajitas for lunch.

Another chilled day. Been for a swim, changed the bed and got a load of washing mostly line dried but other than that, quite a lot of sofa and telly 😊
Had the second half of the lentil pouch with added spinach and sun dried tomatoes plus a fried egg on top for lunch. Creamy sausage, leek and mushroom pasta with broccoli tonight. Oh, and there’s a mini cheesecake LO from the afternoon tea yesterday that I will have for pudding shortly 😋0 -

it's been a drizzling day here, his lordship has come in damp a couple of times before deciding to go to bed for the afternoon. He was sulking as I shut him out my bedroom to go through the stuff stored in the bed (I have a lift up bed with storage in the base) I managed to sort a couple of bags for charity and another to try on stuff later and make a decision then
lunch was a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, not feeling a 100% at Christmas I put my smoked salmon in the freezer 🙂 I pulled out a small half leg of lamb from the freezer as well for dinner brought last Easter when they had a third off 😁 I didn't fancy a roast dinner so found a 'Lebanese' recipe which marinaded the lamb in various things all found in my cupboard 🤨 including the last of my pomegranate molasses. I also roasted aubergine and courgette when the oven was on and going with a fusion menu made miso aubergine. All served with jewelled couscous, tenderstem broccoli and French beans. Plenty of LOs for next week as well a batch of nannas magic soup made for lunches
I'm now catching up on the Great Pottery Throw down with a cuppa

Hoping for a bit of sun today, but none just yet.Brambling, most odd about my Sparks card, no other offers, I wonder if it's because I've not used it for a bit? W8rose this week offer were useless for me, not that I need anything so not a lossThe only ones I could take advantage of are Iceland over 60 offers on Tuesdays, but Tuesdays are not ideal for me, and I have never got the Asda Rewards Star things sorted out, so cursed all round and destined to pay full whack for everything at the moment
, assuming it's in stock
Food sorted for the day anyway.Lunch, more stale bread toast, with grilled cheese toppingDinner, LO cold roast pork, with pot of mash & salad bitsI'll make some coleslaw later with the cheapo white cabbage & wonky carrots LO from last weekEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0
