    That pup is so cute Brambling and all ears, I love it 😍

    Shame the lurgy keeps hanging about Farway, the changing weather conditions won't be helping either.

    Bright but colder here this morning so the perfect day for catching up on a few indoor chores and admin tasks.

    I’m still using up bits, so lunch is a crusty bread pizza with a side salad. Dinner is a portion of lamb tagine from the freezer and I’ll do some asparagus, ss peas and carrots to go with it.

    Very cute!

    I have had some grapes and a smoothie as I'm meeting my friend for lunch. It looks like another nice day.

    Another day that started off bright and sunny but then it clouded/misted over, heard someone on radio 2 saying we were enjoying spring gloom, a special kind of British weather 🙃

    On a bit of a use up freezer contents mission so smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel with cherry tomatoes for lunch (salmon from freezer). Went for a swim after work and then did chicken and veg egg fried rice for tea (rice, LO roast chicken, red chilli from freezer). Also had an M&S fake magnum (in the interests of freezer decluttering obviously 😉)

    I hope the lurgy has gone Farway? I've a gland come up in my neck this afternoon and a slightly sore throat, hopefully nothing too bad as I'm too busy to be ill.

    Farway I fear i will end up eventually with the dog but hopefully not too soon, my sister is quite active still but my BIL not so much following his radiation last year, he's not as steady on his feet as he used to to be.

    I had to drop something in town this morning and popped into Waitrose for ease of parking, I had a shopping list from EF for toiletries which luckily were on offer, even then as all branded items they weren't cheap, luckily I wasn't paying. I took them to the care home to visit this afternoon it was a 'fun' visit as she didn't want to wear her hearing aids!

    Scrambled egg on toast for lunch. I was t that hungry tonight, throat started to hurt on the way home from seeing EF (hopefully not contagious!) so I had some fruit and yogurt
