    Wow, we definitely had some rain yesterday afternoon too caused mayhem on the roads, but lovely and sunny now with a nice breeze to get my washing dry. 

    Lunch today is a portion of soup from my freezer stash.

    For dinner it’s another recipe from tesco september magazine, although I used turkey mince instead of chicken.

    I had some wholemeal toast with Flora and a glass of grapefruit juice. I am going to get a pitta out of the freezer and have it toasted with some guacamole, salad and roasted chickpeas. I am going to roast them now in the air fryer.

  • Office day today (and typically the weather was perfect for putting washing out, oh well) so took a lunchbox of roast sweet potato and goats cheese rice salad. Also had a free banana 🍌 

    Tuna steak with pepper and new potato stew tonight.

    It's been a better day today, nice and dry.

    i popped to Lidl lunchtime for a couple of bits and was led astray with one of their Portuguese custard tarts 😋 then home via The Range which was full of Halloween and Christmas stuff (blah humbug). They didn't have what I went in for so just a little spent 😁 and by then I cba to see if Tesco had it which is next door.

    Cream cheese and ham bagel for lunch with salad.  Sausage, mash and greens for dinner with LOs for bubble and squeak either tomorrow or Thursday.

    I watched bake off so just catching up on the sewing bee final now.

    Wet, drizzle & grey dull. 

    Which is a shame, I was thinking of going to Morries just for a YS mooch & some cheese, but It's not that desperate to go out in this gloom.
    Especially as I had a tinge of Lurgy yesterday, shivering & off my food, seems OK now, but don't want to push it.

    Lunch, sandwich or toast, filling / topping TBD
    Dinner, with my brief lurgy I never had the sausages etc yesterday, so try again, cheap frozen sausages, with AF chips, mushrooms & eggs
