Good morning everyone,
Glad you managed to get it sorted out Brambling.
Another sunny day here. DS2 has headed to Glasgow to help DS1 and DIL2B with their kitchen refurb/upgrade. It's a really decent sized room with a fairly new IKEA kitchen but very poorly laid out and not a "cooks" kitchen. Like me they have a plethora of kitchen kit so a load more storage and a dishwasher is getting added. Depending on the carnage or lack of it DS1 & DIL2B might come here for dinner and stay over. I'm going to make a batch of burgers and if it ends up just DS2 & I will freeze the others. Salady bits for lunch.0 -
I just booked a trip to Bournemouth in September. I haven't been there in 20 years. I got some strawberries out of the freezer last night to make a smoothie and I have the leftover Jennifer Aniston salad to have, I will add some houmous to it as well.0

Same again with the sunny but breezy, lovely drying weather 🙃
Slept really late this morning (after an early toilet stop 😉), which seemed to throw me out all day. Had a real pottering day - laundry, grocery shopping and general tidying. Done a big watering and feeding session of the pots this evening before settling down to Doctor Who.
Beans with toast for lunch, prawn and broccoli Thai red curry with noodles tonight.0 -
Unfortunately sleep is still eluding me this week an achy hip isn't helped by sitting down all day on Friday when volunteering.My sister and I went out for lunch at the Strawberry farm shop, I had no sun cream on so we sat inside where it was nice and cool. I unfortunately burn by just looking at the sun whereas my sister doesn't have my delicate English rose complexion 😁
Sausage and onion marmalade baguette for lunch, their sausages are from a local 'prize winning' butcher and very nice 🙂 we gossiped long enough to have tea and cake afterwards 😋
I did snooze a little late afternoon, so woke a little creaky at a strange angle on the sofa 🙄 so a quick dinner as I CBA to cook of LO tandoori chicken and saladLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin0 -

Good morning everyone,
Another lovely day here. The forecast looks to be a bit mixed from tomorrow so I intend to make the most of the garden today. DS2 has headed back to Glasgow to help with the kitchen and my sister has dropped Ari off for a few days as she is away with work until Thursday. DS1 and DIL2B just stayed at home yesterday evening, the work had gone well and they had a usuable kitchen.
The HM were decent though I slightly burned one side though not to the point of being inedible! Lunch will be jazzed up LO salad and tonight is tbc, we'll either try these Tesco Finest 4 Pork, Smoked Red Pepper & Paprika Hot Dogs 400g - Tesco Groceries or get a takeaway.0 -

I have the last of the salad to have for brunch. I didn't get through the houmous in time so I put it in the freezer. I am going to have a smoothie too.
I got some pies from Aldi so I might have one for dinner with chips or potatoes and veg.2025 GOALS
