    Warm again, not complaining after the recent cold weather

    Yet again my Milk & More delivery has not arrived :'( , there were grow bags on offer which is why I ordered, and a sliced loaf.
    Lack of both is not a problem, just annoying. 
    I can't see me continuing to use them having ordered four times and twice no delivery :s , not inspiring confidence. Perhaps one of those good ideas that doesn't work for me.
    I'll phone later for a refund, I have to wait until noon just in case it's delayed for some reason

    Lunch, LO HM celery & Stilton soup
    Dinner, use up mushroom omelette with some salad

    Good afternoon everyone,
    My sis is still feeling pretty rough but slowly getting there though absolutely exhausted. 
    I didn't expect to wake to the sound of rain this morning. It's still pretty overcast but warm.
    DS1 is collecting Frank later and the boys are treating me to a takeaway for dinner. Just need to decide what I fancy.
    Fridge bits for lunch.

    The concert was so good, although the constant screaming of all the girls there did grate on my ears after more than 3 hours! :D

    Back to reality, I have just unpacked and put on a load of laundry. It is very hot here. I was really red after lugging my bag home with me. At least the washing will dry quickly outside.

    I have only had a packet of savoury chickpeas as I had to catch the train home so I will make some proper lunch in a minute.

    I hope your sister gets better soon Caronc.

    It wouldn't surprise me if I caught Covid again as there was supposed to be 89,000 people there last night.

    Oh my goodness what a gorgeous day, wall to wall sunshine cant be bad.
     
    That's a nuisance with your milk delivery Farway, hope they get themselves sorted out.
     
    Lunch was leftover pork souvlaki and some pasta salad. Tonight I'm having salmon, new pots and asparagus.

    I tend to split a pack of gnocchi and freeze wumph 

    I didn't sleep well last night I was too hot then too cold with no duvet on, I foolish went back to bed after feeding his lordship and ended up feeling worst with a headache most of the day  :( I'm not complaining about the warmer weather but would like to book a lower overnight temperature 

    LO risotto for lunch and whilst I was MWing it I was watching not my cat playing on my back lawn until I realised he was tormenting a baby frog (froglet?) unfortunately it was too late when I realised  :'( cats are monsters 

    i AF a piece of ham and pea quiche from the freezer for dinner and had with salad and HM coleslaw

    I have had sparkling water and an iced coffee so far today. I am about to have some PB toast.

    It was so warm last night. I think I need to get the fan out for tonight.

    Scorchio again!, salad again!
    I'm probably going to Morries tomorrow after watering the volunteer patch, YS hunt but may need to top up on salad items
    That's a nuisance with your milk delivery Farway, hope they get themselves sorted out.
    I phoned and said I'd ordered four times, and only twice have items arrived despite them saying they were delivered and the time of delivery. :(
    Pointed out the blooming obvious that they were probably going to the wrong address. 
    Upshot is I'm now on a so-called Focus Delivery, where a photo is taken when delivered, some parcel companies do the same, still goes to wrong place, complete with wrong door photos, but it's a start.

    Lunch, cheese salad sarnie
    Dinner, salad with ??

    Hope some "toe rag" hasn't nicking it off the doorstep  :s:smile:

    Yes Wednesday it was really hot & sticky here too so much so that the summer duvet got the heave-ho to a chair and I slept under a cheapo lightweight fleece. Its much fresher this morning dark rain clouds on the way.
     
    I decided to get the oven on early just in case it was another hot day, made a quiche with leftover salmon and the last of the asparagus, I'll have that with some salad later not sure about lunch yet.
     
    Off out the bank now so might pick up some nice bread and pate for lunch on the way back.
