Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Farway

Wet start but now stopped with sunshine & blue sky

Had to go out to chiropodist, so into Morries afterwards

No YS worth looking at, but did get a pork chop & rump steak.

Lunch, salad sarnie

Dinner, pork chop, with HM LO spuds fried in AF, and maybe some side salad

It's another day of chilly sunshine here, nice if you manage to find a sheltered corner in the sun but they are few and far between
 
Another lunch of pate on toast with tomato & cucumber and a lazy beige bung in the oven chunky fish fingers & oven chips tonight with a small portion of baked beans on the side.

It has brightened up a lot and still feels mild. The doctor gave me exercises to do at home for my rotator cuff.

I had sourdough toast with cream cheese and Marmite when I got home. I just had a raspberry yoghurt with fresh raspberries as a snack.

It was raining when I drove to volunteering at 8.30am but it turn into a lovely day by mid morning, which is typical as I was in doors all day 🙄

Last of the gammon for lunch with cheese in a roll.

A slice of Salmon and broccoli quiche from the freezer with chips and salad for dinner 

Farway

Cold, but bright & sunny, should be pleasant later on once sun gets going

Lunch, fancy N2BT's pate + toast now . I bought some with Asda delivery.

Dinner. Rump steak, chips, fried eggs, +  mushrooms. Maybe a grilled tom just for some token veg

Wednesday2000

It looks quite nice out there today, slight chill in the air but sunny and blue sky.

I just had some raspberries with blackberry yoghurt and a cup of green tea. My second breakfast will be crumpets with Flora. I'm using up whatever veg I have with something from the freezer for lunch.

Good morning everyone, 
Forgot to post yesterday after spending a large chunk of the day on the phone to HMRC in connection with my voluntary admin. What difference a helpful person can make after going round in circles with the first call agent who couldn't/wouldn't accept they might have made a mistake and in the remote chance they had I'd just need to suck it up and do what was asked anyway! It was their error and took the second person no time at all to rectify so worth persisting. 
Cold wet and very windy here today. I'm looking after Hector and Frank for a couple of hours and Frank is a bit unsettled with the gusts. Lunch is tbc probably soup from the freezer. Tonight we are all heading to my sister's for a roast beef dinner, usually more of a Sunday meal but we were struggling to get dates that worked for everyone and she was keen to make one.

Wet and windy here so nothing much happening other than a bit of cleaning and me taking the opportunity to catch-up on some tv.
 
Chicken pasta salad for lunch and tonight I'm using up a few odds and ends/picky bits with cheese scones, pickles, radish, roquefort & a pear.

Volunteering day at Petworth today the weather was lovely which meant  a nice steady stream of visitors but not manic. The daffodils planted on the grass slopes leading up to the house were beautiful.  Just a shame I was working 😁 I received my free year membership to the NT today (they only issue in March as long as you have at least 50 hours of volunteering) plus six free entries to Petworth for a guest which my sister already has her eyes on when she popped in for a couple of hours tonight 

Quiche and salad for lunch and a not so healthy egg, bacon and chips for a lazy dinner

Farway

Looking like another sunshine & blue sky day, feels mild as well

Make such a difference when you get a helpful person on the phone, rare with some organisations. 

On my query with HMRC, my mistake with a decimal point, they corrected my error there & then without wanting new form filling etc. Which I thought was good & sensible.

Made fresh loaf, with a packet mix, this morning, so lunch is fresh bread time

Lunch, cheese & Branston sarnie

Dinner, frozen smoked haddock fillet, HM mash, use up old spuds, frozen peas
