  • Started dry and bright here but has felt decidedly chilly during the afternoon, as the rain moved in 🙄

    Got loads done today whilst wfh , which makes a nice change.

    LO jambalaya for lunch and I’ve just had my usual beans with toast Tuesday early tea.

    I'm hoping today is the last of the wet days for a while ☔️

    luckily work was quiet again as I was on my own all afternoon, I've been clearing out old emails this afternoon 

    Sausage, egg and cheese muffin for lunch, I skinned a sausage to make sausage patty and on the other half of the muffin I hollow it out to add a egg and some cheese before air frying for 10 minutes 😋 I found a pouch of Dahl made with black lentils and beans so that was a easy dinner with some rice and French beans

    It seems quite nice and sunny today. I have to deep clean my house the next few days as my brother's girlfriend is staying over and she is allergic to pet fur!

    I have more HM soup for lunch with a part baked roll. It will probably be a smoothie for breakfast and I have to use up the last of the strawberry yoghurt.

    Good morning everyone,
    Back to cold and grey here.
    Ari sitting today but he's no bother and, apart from short bouts of madness, him and Hector are pretty chilled together these days.
    I'm behind on my voluntary admin so need to get caught up, won't be today though as I'm still sore after physio so don't fancy sitting at the lap top for more than short periods.
    LO baked spud with cheese and the last of the HM coleslaw for lunch. JO's bacon and bean pasta for dinner.

    Still cool, but dry at least
    Collected prescription first thing, then YS hunt in Morries, YS tomatoes for a change, cherry & on the vine, only 24p pack so had to be bought, I do snack on them sometimes so not wasted.
    No other YS to speak of, 50p off what is expensive stuff anyway.

    Lunch, mushroom omelette
    Dinner, Pukka steak pie, I have going over parsnips, so I think I may roast them in same oven as pie, with buttery boiled cabbage and maybe buttery boiled limp celery middle heart

    Been quite a nice day, we had the odd shower around midday otherwise it was fine.

    Trying to create some space in the freezer so used up a couple of potato waffles with some cold ham and salad at lunchtime.

    Defrosted and SC pork chops with some peppers and onions for tea tonight, had a portion for tea and a portion for the freezer = 2 out 1 in  :D

    The joy of CFO you either eat it over multiple days or it takes up freezer room 🙄

    sausage and pickle sandwich for lunch.  Peppers stuffed with rice, vegetables and pancetta for dinner

  • Forgot to post last night. Long day - 2 big work meetings and then a voluntary one in the evening. Biscuit, donut and 2 mini chocolate eggs eaten during the 3 😬

    Second portion of the lentil, beetroot, feta and walnut salad for lunch. Peanutty sweet potato stew from the freezer for quick and easy tea before going out. There’s still loads of beetroot left 🙄

    Back later.

    It feels chilly today, but sunny.

    I didn't have the yoghurt yesterday so will go and have that now. My stomach is growling!

    Supposed to be warmer today, it's sunny at least, if it stays I'll get the tub ready for planting my runners in, could be a good move given the price of veg & warnings of harvest problems with flooded farms etc.

    Lunch today a poor man's ploughmans', just bog-standard Cheddar & rubber Red Leicester
    Dinner, I have more veg in fridge needing to be used, so maybe tray roast of some sort
