    Gosh, it’s felt like a long week!

    Busy office day today but some good catch ups and useful meetings plus a few tasks crossed off the list 🙃

    Second half of the beetroot, feta and walnut couscous for lunch. Salmon with cream cheese and pesto sauce, new potatoes, broccoli and green beans tonight.

    @Brambling: enjoy your retirement. Have some fun for the next few days. Then you will have so much to do you will wonder how you could ever fit in working.

    I am just having a cup of coffee at the moment. It looks like it will be a nice day weather wise today. :)

    Dull but dry, so that's OK.

    I'm accumulating a few LOs so can foresee a use up session coming along

    Lunch, is to use up the last of the bread rolls, & more corned beef & pickle
    Dinner, LO cold roast chicken and find something to do with the LO boiled spuds. Put in AF and call them roasties or big chips?

    I had two crumpets with Flora for breakfast.

    I went out for a walk and it is very warm and sunny today. I put some mini veggie sausage rolls in the air fryer this morning. I'm going to have a few of them cold with cherry tomatoes, chopped up cucumber, celery and carrots. Probably some grapes and a clementine too.

    Afternoon All, its pleasantly warm outside but can only be described as grey.
     
    Was well chuffed with my gammon joint, especially considering it was Sainbugs cheap one. It was a good size and has given me tea last night, generous end bits for lunch today, 4 portions and some stock for the freezer  :)  
    L - l/o lentil salad, gammon and beetroot
    D - halloumi fajitas

    Made it to the end of a long week, wine has been taken 😉

    Bit grey this morning but brightened up enough to get a load dried on the line. Brightened up as the afternoon went on.

    Busy couple of days of socialising coming up so nipped out for essentials and to collect an order after work.

    Lunch was tortellini, tuna, peas, sun dried tomatoes and pesto. Chicken and broccoli Thai red curry with noodles tonight 😋

    I finished work at 3.30pm 🙂 I just have to set up my laptop for when the new person has a start date and send it to her, which as longas it is next week before my official end date will be no problem after that IT will cut me off.  I will need to go laptop shopping as I've only tablets having used the work one for anything else, I just need a basic one which I can add Word / Excel to 🙃

    smoked mackerel, horseradish and watercress roll for lunch with olives and gherkins.  Stir fry beef and veggies with rice for dinner in a Chinese type sauce
