Good morning everyone,
Wet and very windy here.
My meeting finished at a reasonable time so I jazzed up the baked beans with veg and spices and had some with a fried egg and toast. There's LOs for lunch. Managed to make a decent dent in the chores I wanted to tackle while DS2 and Hector are away yesterday. Today I've voluntary admin to do and some Christmas cards to write. I'm only posting a few this year. Peri peri marinated chicken leg with roasted cauliflower and green beans for dinner tonight.0 -

sandwich taken into volunteering for lunch. Pulled pork from Lidl for dinner, not a lot of meat in a large box! It looked a pick like a hockey puck, size and shape 🤨 it wouldn't have fed two, I had about 3/4 of it with rice and broccoli. Tasted ok but not one I'll buy again.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin0 -
It is starting to feel quite windy here. I might pop out to the shop quickly at some point today but that is it.
I am going to have a smoothie with blueberries, banana and soya milk and then the soup I made yesterday with baguette.2025 GOALS

Good afternoon everyone,
My it was wild overnight but the rain if not the wind has eased for now though not for long if the forecast is accurate. I'm hoping DS2 gets home before the Amber warning hits but we thankfully aren't due to get it nearly as bad as some areas. I hope everyone has the hatches well battened down. I'll venture to the bin shortly, grab some logs and have a quick check for any storm damage.
There's a portion of cauliflower cheese left which I'll freeze and some chicken which I'll have for lunch. Tonight it's HM baguette pizza with coleslaw and wedges.0 -
