  • Yep, sunny and warm here too 🌞. Was quite breezy in the middle of the day so the towels on the line dried very quickly 🙃

    More LO chicken with salad, new potatoes and coleslaw for lunch. Been out this evening so no cooking.

    I have to go and get my filling done tomorrow. She said I had knocked out my white filling, but the silver one (from years ago) was still there.

    I just had crunchy PB with crumpets. I just took the recycling out to the shed and it feels quite nice and warm already.

    Warm & sunny again, into town, Home Bargains mainly for garden compost but had a mooch around, nothing inspiring there except reduced sunflower oil in my bag + compost

    Lunch, joining Brambling with the cheese on toast idea
    Dinner, One of the huge baked spuds, not sure about the filling, could go extra lazy & just plonk cheesy beans in there

    Good afternoon everyone,
    Sunny here today and quite pleasant temperature wise. Another day of pottering on the cards.
    Fridge bits for lunch. Tonight it's JO's salmon in a bag with sweet potatoes, baby corn and sugar snap peas.

    Well it is a stinker of a day here, foggy, drizzle, occasional rain, not very pleasant at all, roll on tomorrow.
     
    Catching up on a bit of admin, shredding and filing - all the boring but necessary stuff. Tuna salad wrap for lunch and tonight I'm having a turkey escalope, mustard cream sauce with cauliflower & tenderstem broccoli on the side.

    The builders are finally re-building our garden wall, hopefully we don't get a high tide until it settles in.

    Hope the dentist isn't too traumatic or painful Wednesday  :#

    Thanks. I hope so too!

    It is very warm outside and I went to buy some cat biscuits. I wanted a lunch that wouldn't get stuck in the tooth that needs filling. I roasted some cherry tomatoes in the air fryer and had it with penne pasta and chickpeas.

    They’re disconcerting aren’t they, those sorts of days?

    Bit four seasons in one day here today - cold and foggy start, turned mild, rain during the afternoon, sunny this evening 🤔

    Chicken salad for lunch, mostly eaten in a meeting as hardly any gap…

    Swimming tonight so easy reheat of sweet potato and peanut stew with a toasted pitta when I got in.

    A damp start to the day which meant the front of the car was covered by the early council grass cutters they seem to have missed the no mow May memo but if they are the same as last year we wouldn't see them until August 🙄 the rest of the day was grey. 

    Tinned mackerel with salad for lunch. My shepherds pie from the freezer didn't defrost so chicken and mushroom slice for dinner with some beans, never mind that's dinner sorted tomorrow before I go out

    It has been raining here. I have to go out to have my filling later today so I hope it clears up by then.

    I have been going through the pantry/cupboards and decided to make overnight oats with soya milk and a tin of peaches. It made loads as I haven't had it in ages and so I just had half for breakfast with some sliced banana and I will have the other half tomorrow morning. It was actually nicer than I expected.
