It's been a while since I had a smokie too and it was delicious. There was a good helping for the omelette and enough leftover to freeze and use for fishcakes or a pie some other time.
Wednesday I do fruit with my porridge too either tinned or stewed, which reminds me I have a stash of prunes in the cupboard which just need soaking.
I did a quick shop this morning for some veg and chilled foods. We indulge a bit too much whilst away, so I’m cutting back a bit on the carbs - lunch today was salad with cottage cheese, pickles and celery.
I want to start creating a bit of space in the freezer so I’ll be using up some of the ready made stuff I have in there - tonight it's sausage and bean casserole with some steamed broccoli.

Cheap oats for me to Farway 😁 I got in the habit of soaking oats when I used to take my breakfast to work and it was easier to grab and go.
Leaving the Sainsburys car park after volunteering tonight I went out of my way to drive after a old lady walking across the car park to shout out my passenger window that her dress was tucked in her underwear 🫣 she blew me a kiss in thanks and then hit the old man walking with her, I'm assuming because they had walked a distance and he obviously hadn't notice 😁 my good deed of the day!
Todays meals were a repeat of yesterday but in reverse, cold salmon poke bowl for lunch and a large bowl of soup for dinner.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin1 -
