    Sunny start at least
    Meals are undecided again, I'm going over to DS very soon, so may have lunch out, or not, depends on DS

    Dinner thus depends on having had lunch, or not
    Whatever the outcome, It will be something frozen and then heated

    Good morning everyone,
    Good luck to those watching the footie night.
    Overcast but dry here.
    Frank is getting an ear trim as he's got the hair matted with something that isn't for brushing or washing out. It's not going terribly well going by the DS2's under breath muttering! I'm staying out of the way.
    LOs for lunch, the wings and dip were scrummy definitely on the "make again" list. Peri peri lamb with spicy rice and veg for dinner.

    I have eaten far too much the past few days!

    We went out for breakfast this morning and I had a tofu scramble with sourdough toast. My brother had a burger and fries with a free beer due to an offer with the football being on tonight.

    I am just catching up on YT before the game. It is warm here. I kept seeing classic cars driving past so I assume there must be a car convention nearby today.

    I'm back from a few days away too, weather was rubbish but the company was good. Ate out quite a bit, takeaways & fancy cakes, all very nice but I imagine more than a couple of lbs have been gained.
     
    Defrosted a couple of pork loin chops earlier to make a stroganoff for tonight and have got my online shopping list sorted so I'll go and get the order placed for delivery on Tues.

  • Fairly chilled day before back to work tomorrow. Pottered in the garden this morning and got a couple of loads dried on the line 🙃

    Watched tennis, ironed and did food prep this afternoon.

    Greek mezze/tapas bits with fresh bread for lunch. Salmon with chimichurri, sautéed potatoes and broccoli tonight. There might also have been a fake mini magnum…well, I am on holiday 😉

    Caronc i was going to ask if you wanted to swap one grumpy cat for a dog but maybe not! My PITA drew blood today, he was sitting half way up the stairs being very vocal so I stopped on the way down and patted his head, big mistake 😣 

    I managed to get a couple of loads of washing dried today including my bedding 🙂 I do like the wash, dry and back on bed in one day 

    My sister had a half price voucher for cream teas at the local garden centre so we decided would be a good late lunch 😁 delicious scones, best I've tasted in a while 😋

    Waiting for the rain to arrive, and try & get garden wheelie bin out before it does
    Very quiet day over DS yesterday, just sandwich, no GC café visit :(

    Lunch, some sort of sandwich, but I've run out of salad bits until delivery on Wednesday, don't fancy F Finger or sausage one, probably boring old cheese again.

    Dinner, defrosting a YS Morries chicken dinner for one, mainly CBA plus lack of fresh food until delivery

    We have our first viewing of our house today. We are going to have to leave our cats in cat carriers and take our dog for a walk around the block while the person is here.

    I had three toasted crumpets and Flora for breakfast.
