    Good morning everyone,

    Another frosty and bright day.

    Off to lunch at my sister's with DS1, DIL, DGD and DIL's mum. It will no doubt be chaos with three pooches, the wee one and my sister's very old, very grumpy cat!

    Dinner is tbc depending on how substantial lunch is, there's a couple of portions of mince in the fridge, one of root veg mash and a pack of chicken legs along with the usual staples so I wont go hungry if I want something later.

    It feels cold today after the nice weather. I had my scarf and gloves with me, luckily. I had pasta last night at the restaurant followed by ice cream with berries.


    I’m heading back into London now.

    Very heavy frost here this morning, the skies remain clear so it’s nice and sunny out there.

    I was feeling quite hungry this morning so had brunch of a lorne sausage and fried egg roll. I don't know what the farmer is feeding his chickens but so far I’ve had two of the six and both have been double yolkers 😁

    Dinner is stuffed peppers with couscous, chickpeas and feta.

    Grey but dry and a bit milder here today. Slothful morning (think the week caught up with me) but did get motivated to some necessary sorting and decluttering this afternoon plus got a load of washing pretty much dried on the line and did a grocery shop.

    Scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast for lunch. Made creamy leeks, cabbage and cannellini beans tonight - had half of it with a grilled salmon fillet. The other portion will appear later in the week probably 🙃

    Lunch out tomorrow so hopefully won’t need much in the evening.

    I met a friend for a cuppa and catch up this morning in the John Lewis cafe so I popped into Waitrose for my milk and ro use a voucher for free crumpets.

    Today is my nephew's partner birthday so my sister did a family lunch. She will lunch with her family tomorrow and visit her dad in hospital, his stroke is unfortunately serious enough that he will be in hospital a while before going to rehab. I got my baby cuddles fix.

    LO Korean chicken with pickled vegetables for a late dinner, I didn't need any rice
