Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Good afternoon everyone, 
Belated Happy Birthday Brambling.
Hazy but a bit warmer today.
A general day of pottering planned. DS2 is hoping to get finished a decent time so he can get packed for tomorrow when he's heading on as stag weekend. DS1 is arriving later to collect Frank and take him and Hector to Glasgow. DS1 will join us for dinner - Yoghurt chicken curry. 
DS2 popped by Tebay services far shop and bought a tray of their gorgeous lamb meatballs and a pack of Cumberland links. The meatballs have been popped in the freezer to have next week and it's sausage sandwiches for lunch.

Belated birthday greetings Brambling, that's the first year of retirement past, how do you feel?
 
Very chilly start this morning but turned out nice again.
 
Lunch was using up some of the leftover couscous and tzatziki with a couple of falafel added
 
I've got some hot smoked salmon for tonight and having it with ts broccoli and jersey royals.

Not a single regret N2BT other than the hip which has limited plans for now.  I'm glad all my financial spreadsheets were accurate 🙂 

I finished the under the stairs tidying this morning and still didn't find what I thought was there! At least it is tidy again.  

The car had to be parked across the road when I came in last night,it seems a little too close to a tree sko a trip to the car wash was needed this afternoon 🙄 

Ham and cheese roll for lunch with beetroot.  I wasn't that hungry tonight so some scrambled egg on toast as a easy dinner

Still on the cool side here but dry so load of towels dried on the line. If the forecast is correct, the temperature jumps up tomorrow and is then set fair for at least a week, we’ll see 🙃

Must remember to water tomorrow!

Scrambled eggs and avocado on toasted bagel for lunch. Egg fried rice tonight with roast chicken from the freezer, red pepper, baby corn and sugar snap peas.

Forecast seems correct, sunshine is back with slight breeze, and warming for next few days

I need it to keep fine for Tuesday, going up to RHS Wisley for the day then, and try out the new road entrance now M25 junction is altered

Out watering first thing, before it gets too warm, if only.

Lunch, BLT sandwich

Dinner, clear out frozen fish cakes, with salad

Good morning everyone, 
Bright and okay temperature wise this morning.
I'm CFO until Monday and home alone. I've taken the pooch free opportunity to open both my back and front doors and give the house a good airing. Usually only the back is open as while the front garden is enclosed I live on a main road so pooches don't get access to it. 
Tesco are due later and I have an online meeting at lunchtime but apart from that no real plans.
Lunch is going to be a salmon and cream cheese bagel with salad using up a small piece of cooked salmon LO from Wednesday. I've chicken legs defrosting to roast for a couple of meals so will make some sort of traybake/bung in with them tonight.

Lovely sunny day out there so went for a walk around the bay, but there's still a chilly breeze coming off the sea forcing me to came home through town.
 
Hopefully not too long a wait to get the hip sorted Brambling   
 
Lunch is the last of the couscous with a watercress and hard boiled egg salad.
 
Pasta primavera tonight using up last of the fresh ts broccoli and asparagus & peas from the freezer.

Volunteering day so I missed the sunshine shut in an office, it was tee shirt weather at 8.30am  somethings don't change, cakes were expected as it was my birthday week.

Salmon and cottage cheese salad for lunch.  Lamb and aubergine curry from the freezer for a easy dinner

Farway

Sunny day and supposed to be warming up all next week

I'll take the opportunity today to potter a bit, I need to get some tomatoes out and courgettes ready

Lunch, another BLT sandwich

Dinner, use up mushroom omelette, with salad

Good morning everyone, 
It's turning into a cracking day here. 
While I'm pooch free I plan to weed killer the slabs in the back garden. DS2 was going to do it on Thursday evening after Hector had left but ran out of time. It's not a job I find easy to do so will probably just laze for the rest of the afternoon. Last night I cooked two smallish chicken legs, I had both the thighs for dinner and will use the drumsticks for lunch today. I've pork shoulder steak defrosting for tonight, I'm swithering between using it for souvlaki or making something stroganoffy. I'll see what I fancy later.
