Hope all’s gone well, Brambling.
I’ve had a day of eating early, had to leave around 12 for a work meeting so had early lunch of avocado and scrambled eggs on toasted bagel. Did a quick prawn, broccoli and pepper egg fried rice for early tea before going out for my hair appointment this evening. Bit peckish now…0 -

Good morning,
Hope all went well Brambling.
Sunshine and showers today.
I need to catch up on some housework, though tbh it will be the bare minimum to tick us over until Frank goes home next week!
Tesco due later, no OOS or subs but I forgot to order an item we need for a meal next week so DS2 will need to swing by a SM at some point.
LO curry and salad for lunch. Usual Friday tbc for dinner.0 -
Lovely sunny day today but there is a warning of thunderstorms this afternoon and tomorrow.
A couple of tomatoes were in need of using so had a simple sandwich of them, s & p and a drizzle of salad cream.
Tonight I'll do turkey schnitzel, green beans & sweetcorn and fry up a couple of boiled potatoes I have leftover from last night.Jan - June Grocery spends = £531.61

I have a physical therapy session today. I've had some toast and a banana. It feels very warm inside my house and I'm not looking forward to the walk.0

Tinned mackerel and a little gem lettuce salad for dinner. It’s my absolute favourite time of year for veg, I love salads and stuff. Broad beans are my absolute favourite, I must get some when I get paid. I know you can get salad year round but it’s nicer when it’s actually in season.0 bonus saver

Rain arrived at long last
, started around two and still drizzling now. No complaints, not had decent rain for weeks, and it's so parched everywhere.
Of course today I was going to pick some of my blackberries, crumble time. I'll do so when it stops, raining. In the meantime, the dust has been washed off.Lunch, Pate ploughman's.Dinner, LO cold roast chicken + salad bits. And B & A crumble + custard if I get around to it.Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0
