    Nice sunny day again although less windy so I’m glad I did my washing yesterday, not sure what the forecast is but I’ll be happy if it continues to stay in double figures.

    Lunch was picky bits of hummus, salad leaves, cherry toms and crusty bread.

    I’m trying to get the most out of all the veg I ordered whilst it's at its best and not be too repetitive. I used half of the mushrooms earlier this week and used the rest today to make a duxelle, using hm individual tart cases I'll make mushroom quiche for dinner tonight. There’s some of the roasted squash leftover too so I’ll have that as a side along with the last of the ss peas. 

    I'll think about the other half of the butternut squash tomorrow - after all tomorrow is another day  :D

    Enjoy tomorrow Caronc.  

    A grey dark day today, not really wet just depressing! I was volunteering and although the town was busy we were really quiet until late in the afternoon, too much tea and biscuits consumed as we gossiped rather than doing on line training 😁.  I popped in to Sainsburys on the way home as my car was parked there, I just needed milk, rice and a cucumber, I forgot the cucumber but did get some YS stringless beans (Helda) for 40p so picked a pack for my sister too.  

    LO salmon rice bowl for lunch.  Ostrich burger with chips, coleslaw and salad for dinner
