Cooking for one (Mark Three)

Not very helpful advice Brambling I'd be inclined to speak to the GP, food-wise your M&S dinner sounds lovely hope it tasted as good.
 
The temp has dropped again and its quite breezy, sadly there is a storm coming at the beginning of next week not looking forward to that 
 
Cold meat salad for lunch.
 
Tonight it's AF chicken goujons with peperonata.

It feels noticeably cooler today. I had a class last night and I have another one today. I am almost hitting my target of 25 classes in 2025.

I just had my normal toast and flora. I have cauliflower and carrots that need using up so I might make a roast dinner this weekend as the carton of gravy needs to be used up by September too. I fancy pasta for lunch.

Quiet catch up work day, which was welcome after a full on week. Finished on time and went off for a swim followed by a trip to Lidl to use a £5 off voucher and stock up on Greek week bits 😋

Used up half an avocado with scrambled eggs on a toasted bagel for lunch. Made my quick and easy sausage and spinach gnocchi tonight, plus 🍷

Happy weekend!

I have a number for the hospital so may give them a call, looking it up on the nhs site it says the same as the nurse did.  The dinner was very tasty and very quick and easy.

My sister and a friend spent a good chunk of the day here, so putting them to good use they helped to sort my kitchen cupboards (well I sat and supervised saying keep or rehome) and my sister tackled the high up stuff I've been unable to do 🙂

I did do the lunch 🙂 ciabatta rolls, smoked salmon, cream cheese, salad, hummus and tortilla chips,  followed by strawberries, meringue nests and Greek yoghurt 

Just a ham sandwich for dinner

I was so tired after my class last night that I didn't have any dinner. I just had a shower and got into bed. I'm quite hungry today so I'm going to take some frozen fruit out of the freezer to defrost for a smoothie and will also have baked beans on toast.

I felt much colder yesterday at home. I had to go and put socks on and a cardigan and put a blanket over my lap.

Cloudy with some sun, warm enough though.

My back is still a problem, easing but catches & makes me yelp at odd moments

Today will be more back rest and Binge watching

Meals to reflect lack of flexible body, no lifting or bending

Lunch, crusty cob slices, with pate

Dinner, boil in bag kippers, with crusty loaf B & butter

Good morning everyone, 
I'll join you in the iffy back club Farway, mine's complaining so I'm glad I have my physio appointment on Monday.
Trying to be sunny here.
Bit the bullet yesterday and bought a Shark handheld hoover, with a constant stream of pooches I'm for ever brushing up or lugging out Henry. I'm hoping this will make things easier to keep on top of. 
I'd popped a punnet of cress in my Tesco order so looking forward to an egg and cress sandwich for lunch.  Meliz Berg's chicken flatbreads for dinner.

Thanks for the heads up JKS, I'll change my plans and go to lidl instead of the other this week.
 
I hope those with the poorly backs see an improvement soon, I know your pain having suffered in the past.
 
Last piece of the tuna quiche from the freezer for lunch, there's one piece of the broccoli & stilton left in there so I'll need to plan some baking soon.
 
The flatbread idea is catching, I've pulled the last one from the freezer and will do a pizza using the l/o peperonata, some capers & olives for my dinner tonight.

Tired after a day volunteering at a community event so just pasta with cold roast chicken, sugar snap peas and pesto.

I hope both your backs are not too painful.

I'm definitely out of sync as I was up at 5am again 🥱 it's sleeping on my back! As long as his lordship doesn't get used to breakfast and being let out that early. So hobbit like I had two breakfasts cereal at 5am and beans on toast at 10.  I brought some M&S bake beans via Ocardo their small tins are only 30p and I would buy again definitely didn't taste like cheap beans and one of those rare occurrences when a small tin was half the price of the large and not a lot more expensive per gram.

It was one of those days I managed to wash the bathroom floor washing my hair 🫣 and had to stay out of it until it dried I was dropped his lordships food dish due to grabber misuse! Luckily it was a metal bowl but what he didn't eat off the floor had to stay until my sister came around this evening I used an old long handle brush to push to it one side.  I did try and go to bed late morning to rest my legs which to be honest only lasted about 45mins as lying flat in bed meant I couldn't read and I didn't need a nap, that happen in the chair this afternoon! 

I had an afternoon snack of an apple with cheese rather than lunch to put me back on track food wise.  Dinner was a M&S steak pie with chips and peas
