    Mixture of sunshine & showers here after what sounded like a wild night of wind and rain battering the windows and flapping the letterbox. Managed a brisk walk in between the showers this morning too.

    Got the SC on early doors with some pork I defrosted overnight, if its ready I'll have it for lunch with some roasties I have in the freezer (lo from Christmas) and some steamed cauli & kale.

    Not sure about later but there's lots of picky bits that need using.

    I had a bowl of muesli again for breakfast and a banana.

    I think I will have a Quorn steak bake for lunch with steamed veg and gravy.

    It is bright and sunny here, but I put the heating on as I had to wash my hair and it feels a bit chilly.

    Good morning everyone, 
    Like Brambling I forgot to post yesterday.
    The DS1 and DIL2B were here for lunch, nothing fancy just hot filled rolls, and stayed until late afternoon. The plan originally was to give the pooches a long beach walk but the weather was foul so that got shelved. The weather is lovely, though chilly, today but it looks as though it's a brief visit of sunshine before the rain returns.
    Fridge bits for lunch and I've sirloin steaks defrosting to have tonight.

    I was looking what needs using up from my fridge. I am marinating some tofu in soya sauce, hot sauce and maple syrup for dinner tonight and probably might make air fried potatoes to go with it as I have four spuds left. I will make a salad too with what is left.

    I have half a jar of sun dried tomatoes in oil so I might whizz them up to make a soup later with some passata and veg bouillon.

    Been a lovely sunny but breezy day here - 3 loads line dried 😀

    I’ve stripped and remade the bed, dusted the bedroom, been for a swim, made soup for work lunches, tidied and pottered.

    Scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast for lunch. Chinese chicken traybake with vegetable noodles tonight 😋

    Dry here as well although my bedding didn't dry on the line, I won a argument with his lordship to get it off the bed 🙄

    other than the washing a lazy day for me.  I was going to cook a roast but CBA it will be ok tomorrow 

    sausage sandwich for lunch using some YS sausages from the freezer.  LO pilaf with some chicken for dinner.  My fridge is currently a LO free zone, at least until I cook a half leg of lamb tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

    Good morning everyone,
    After a lovely, sunny day yesterday it's foul today, tipping it down, gloomy and very chilly. No excuse really not to tackle the voluntary admin due this week.

    I had the other half of the block of tofu and make a tofu scramble and had it with toast.

    My cat had a seizure last night so my husband took her to the vet this morning. She had blood taken and her heart checked etc... Over £500 gone. I am going to try and claim some of it back from Pet Plan now. I will know more when the tests come back.

    Two of my other pets I used to have had seizures, but I can't remember what the cause was for either of them.
