    Sort of bright grey, hint of sun for later?

    Glad the visit went well Brambling, the M27 is  real pain, no sooner finish one lot than another starts
    Some of it is the bridges need replacing, not sure if it's old age or not big or wide enough now, plus, the should have been built but never were junctions, which you may have spotted as dead-end exits
    Anyway, I just asked Chat, and

    For J5–J7, full lane-closures associated with the resurfacing will most likely persist until spring 2026, especially on the westbound side.

    For Junction 10, expect lane restrictions through late 2026.

    At Junction 12, the main phase of works (including lane closures) should be wrapping up by November 2025.

    So, one way or the other it looks like slow for most of the next year  :(

    Lunch, trying to think of something that isn't toast, tin of soup maybe?
    Dinner, use up before Asda tomorrow. Last of the honey ham, last of the frozen chips plus last couple of eggs

    It was very warm yesterday when I was out. I was wearing thick winter socks which was a big mistake and I felt very hot after I walked home. Today looks grey and not as warm.

    I didn't make pasta yesterday as I fancied a stir fry. I marinated Quorn pieces in olive oil and peri peri seasoning and had it with peppers, onions and courgettes. I squeezed fresh lemon over the top and it was delicious.

    I am about to make a cherry smoothie and then have a toasted bagel with a cup of lemon and ginger tea. I am off out to London to eat out again tonight so I will have something small for lunch.

    Good morning everyone, 
    Another gloomy, showery day, 
    I love Marmite on toast etc. but I'm not so keen on it as a drink and vice versa with Bovril. 
    Apart from routine chores and cleaning the bathroom I've not much planned though intend to make a pot of carrot and coriander soup this afternoon.
    Some more of the chicken and rice soup for lunch, in all I got 9 generous portions out of the pan so will freeze the rest today. Trying this for dinner tonight Baked Greek Fish (Psari Plaki) - The Mediterranean Dish though will reduce the quantity. We'll have it with rice, Calvo Nero, baby corn, sugar snaps and green beans.
