    I had to go out and get cash out for my haircut next week and it is more chilly than I realised.

    I've had the last of the fresh pineapple and a cup of green tea. I might have a veggie burger with salad in a bun as I feel quite hungry.

    Forgot to post yesterday, brain tired after volunteering 

    cold but dry today, my sister and I went out to the art shop for some bits for her work popping into the farm shop on the way back, I didn't need much but did pick up a Turkey drumstick.  Cuppa tea and a lovely large cheese scone in the garden centre before coming home

    Late afternoon text to say something was ready to pick up in M&S so parked In Sainsburys just before 5pm to pick it up in town and got a few bits needed in Sainsburys to pay for parking 

    Cheese scone for lunch 

    sirloin steak from freezer, AF wedges, HM coleslaw, fried onions, mushrooms and peppers for dinner

    Very grey & dreary day so far, with damp mist as well

    I may have a bit of a cold coming, feeling a bit weary & sneezing, but it's ideal day to do nowt except sit around and sip posh hot chocolate.

    Lunch, if I can find it, a tin of warm me up soup
    Dinner, frozen fish & C for convenience

    Good afternoon everyone, 
    I hope the cold doesn't come to anything Farway.
    Dry but grey and cold here. I'm just about to go and bung together a pot of soup using the veg base I made and froze from the cheap Christmas veggies as it looks as though it will be soup weather for the next few days. I'll probably have some of that with crackers and cheese for lunch. I'm also going to make a batch of Nigella's black pudding meatballs to pop in the freezer for later in the week.  I'm out on the 25th so we are having haggis, neeps and tatties for dinner, I've mashed swede and tatties in the freezer so a nice and easy one tonight.

    I hope you feel better Farway.

    I had toast and Flora for breakfast. I was going to make a roast dinner today, but now I fancy pasta.

    Big change in the weather here it felt very chilly this morning and its been a bit misty most of the day, so back to the seasonal norm.  
     
    I also dipped into the freezer for some soup for my lunch - chicken, rice and sweetcorn.
     
    Pork stroganoff tonight with baby potatoes and green beans.

    Still grey and cold here but damp too 😕

    Ventured as far as Lidl for a tiny top-up shop. Picked up an artisan baguette, which I had with Thai sweet potato soup from the freezer stash and a bit of Christmas cheese. Egg fried rice tonight with the last of the Chinese pork belly from the freezer, red pepper and sugar snap peas.
