It is sunny here and it is meant to get very warm later. I've had a yoghurt so far as I'm eating out for lunch and dinner.0

Good morning everyone,
I'd definitely recommend the Peruvian chicken recipe, it got a big thumbs up from DS2 too! No chook LO just some veg rice and green sauce which will get used up for lunch today.
Hot dog style sausages were OOS, the offer runs for a while so I've saved them in my basket for next week.
Tesco due later, just one , acceptable, sub but one very short dated item which will rejected. It's just coriander and really just for garnish for a curry and rice dish next week.

Leftover salad for lunch with cold meat and coleslaw.

Gosh, it rained this morning! But as forecast, it did stop and brighten up, turned into a lovely afternoon and evening.
A good catch up work day today after an in and out sort of week. Had a lovely sunny walk at the end of my working day 🌞
Scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toasted bagel for lunch. Portion of butter bean and tomato stew with sausages and a toasted pitta tonight, chucked the end of a bag of rocket into the stew to wilt as it warmed through.0 -
It was cool and gray when I drove into town to volunteer this morning but turned into a nice day, the car was unpleasantly warm when I got back to it at 4.30.I didn't sleep great again last night and his lordship woke me up just after 5am knocking things of the dressing table 🙄 so he was put out! I went back to bed then overslept so it was a bit more of a rush than usual.
Cheese and carrot roll for lunch. I forgot to take dinner out of the freezer this morning so dinner was breaded fish, chipped LO new potatoes and LO vegLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin0 -
Sleepless night, too warm really, so I was up very early and watering the pots out front, where the magpies started heckling me for disturbing themNeed to finalise my Asda order, some things are re-appearing online now, don't know if that is because of the new chap sweeping clean and returning to basic shopping instead of gimmicks, but it'll do me.Lunch, cheese + salad sandwichDinner, LO rinse & repeat yesterday. Grilled gammon + salad.Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0

It was so hot yesterday by the seafront. I had pizza for dinner at a new to me local restaurant. Very nice. It is supposed to be very warm again today. I just had a yoghurt as I'm going out for an Indian meal for lunch.2025 GOALS

Good afternoon everyone,
Grey and looks as though it will pour any minute. We are forecast thundery showers and the atmosphere certainly has that feel!
DS2 has done a couple of tip runs with greenhouse/garden waste and my sis popped by for a cuppa and a catch up. The weather pressure is kicking my balance so I'm planning a pretty quiet day just pottering. Last of the spicy rice and green sauce for lunch. I added some chicken stock to the rice to make a soupy stew which worked really well. Chicken wings for dinner, I'll make wedges and coleslaw to have with them and roast some corn cobettes.0 -
Very warm here today but a bit breezy and very cloudy, felt the odd spot of rain when out at a community fundraiser event.
Burger for lunch from the charity BBQ. Fridge was looking very bare so went to do a fairly large grocery shop late afternoon. Made a new recipe tonight - spiced salmon with sweetcorn, pepper and avocado salsa 😋0 -

I had refused to replace on line as twice the price on eBay etc
Tuna mayo sandwich for a late lunch. I CBA to cook tonight, bad night and afternoon snooze put me out of sync with everything so dinner was a mushroom omelette and a tomato saladLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin0
