    Good morning everyone,
    It's supposed to be dry and sunny here today but the rain drops on the window say otherwise! Must get my finger out and do some housework as I have friends visiting tomorrow. Mind you they have two hairy pooches so it will be a quick sweep through rather than the full hoover and mop as they are planning to take them to the beach before coming here!
    LO pasta for lunch. Thai green pork and veg curry with rice for dinner.

    I had a yogurt and then a very dry apple which was gross and I couldn't finish it.

    I walked to the shop and back and had to take my cardigan off as it was very warm.

  • Another lovely sunny day here, maybe summer is finally here 🤞

    Busy office day but that’s me done until Tuesday 🙃

    Rest of the Greek salad couscous for lunch. Just had steak and broccoli hoisin noodles. Might have one of those mini magnums for pudding…

    No CFO for me for a few days. Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    Good afternoon everyone, 
    Yesterday did brighten up as the day went on but we are back to grey skies and drizzle so far today. I'm hoping the forecast for dry weather tomorrow doesn't change as we are hoping to bbq.
    I had nice cuppa and catch up with friends and their two mad labradoodles. Hector was delighted and the three them just rumbled about.
    LOs for lunch, Tesco are due later and I want to do some prep for tomorrow so no doubt some sort of easy oven bung for dinner.

    Back to normal, yesterday's funeral went well, at least it was dry & warm with no major traffic or weather problems encountered

    Out early, collecting a repeat prescription I'd forgotten about until I went to take one :/

    Lunch just a cheese roll
    Dinner, so hot it has to be salad with a jacket spud. No idea what the "meat / fish bit will be, could just have grated cheese in the spud I guess.

    I had a vegan cheese roll for lunch too.

    It was hotter than I expected out. The woman in the pharmacy said it was 27 and it felt like that. I think there are thunder warnings tomorrow. 

    I'm not sure what to have for dinner. I read my book when I got home while keeping an eye on the football.

    Yesterday was very uninspired - bit like the football  :) Leftover mushroom curry and crusty bread for lunch and a very lazy tuna sandwich and side salad for tea.
     
    Leftover tuna mayo sandwich for lunch today and turkey burger, chips and slaw tonight.
     
    Definitely in a cba convenience type mood will try and do better tomorrow.

    It looks like summer arrived today 🌞😎 I'm sure soon we will soon be moaning about watering 😁

    I knocked a bottle of sauce out of the fridge last night and found a bit of glass with my big toe this morning 🙄 better me than his lordship I don't want the vet bills.   Ot that bad but I ended up cleaning the floor again that's 3 times in 2 days as I did it yesterday morning.  

    Bacon, mushrooms and poached eggs on toast for lunch, I did cause sparkles when poaching eggs in the microwave as I forgot my China ramekins have a gold rim.  I cooked a small chicken dinner time but too warm for roast so I used the LO potato salad and coleslaw and had with salad
