    Popped into Morries first thing, mainly needed to post some letters and it's a convenient post box, however there were some YS offers, butter chicken & head of broccoli, plus juicy looking pork chops for the weekend. Seeing N2B post about Jerseys reminds me, too late, I meant to check for them while in Morries.

    Lunch, grilled cheese on toast + pickle

    Dinner, one of the YS MFO Butter Chickens

    I had to be diplomatic Wednesday, so said at her age (81) she should focus more on comfort and what best meets her needs rather than the cost. Frankly I think her son would keel over if he knew the amount I’m budgeting for mine 🤐

    Another nice sunny day but there is still that icy wind coming off the sea, I had a quick walk through town this morning and once I catch up on some chores I’ll go for a longer walk to get my step count up.

    Lunch is soup from the freezer and tonight there’s deli ham to use up so will have it with salad and some jersey royals.

    Good morning,

    It's a glorious day here and quite warm too. Shame the good spell is due to break tomorrow!

    All three pooches here today and they are all snoozing in the sunshine, I intend to do what I have to do and then enjoy it too. 😁

    The LO pasta which I'll turn into pasta salad for lunch. Trying this tonight Spicy roasted carrot, kale and coconut dhal I'll make the full amount of dhal as spare will freeze but reduce the carrots and kale a bit. I'll roast the veg in the AF.
