    Still hanging onto the warm weather here, so enjoying it while it's here

    Up to Morries first thing, just bread, salad bits and a mooch. Nothing too exciting there, but did get some YS MFO RMs to freeze, just for standbys

    Lunch, cheese & onion sandwich with new loaf

    Dinner, It's use ups. Grilled Use UP bacon, eggs & may do some frozen AF chips to go with them

    It’s been one of those days when my patience has been tested and the best laid plans have had to be extremely flexible due to circumstances and situations way out of my control.

    I had a very late lunch of falafel, hummus, salad, and pickled shallot all stuffed into a pitta bread.

    An easy dinner tonight as I cba cooking much, there’s some baby potatoes that need using, I’ll have chunky fish fingers and peas from the freezer plus a dollop of tartare sauce.

    Yesterday's turkey “swiss roll thingy” aka ballotine (I remembered the word this morning 😆) turned out better than I could have hoped and I will definitely try something similar again.

    Such a different weather day today, much colder, grey and a bit rainy. It seems to have been a very long short week but there has been quite a bit going on, looking forward to a catch up WFH day tomorrow.

    Was organised yesterday evening and made some feta, olive and tomato couscous to pop in a lunchbox to take into the office today. Prawn, broccoli and baby corn Thai red curry with noodles tonight.
