    Cooler and breezy, may even get some showers

    Lunch, BLT, using up some LO B.

    Dinner, out sitting around waiting for Hospital patient this afternoon, couple of hours I expect, so dinner will probably be another easy RM stab & ping

    Good morning everyone,

    Hoping to get a bit more done today as my arm is less sore and stiff now the bruise is properly out. It's another wet day so apart from giving the greenhouse a quick water and a bin trip I'm happy to be indoors. The kids in this area are back to school today which always feels like a shift into Autumn though hopefully we might get a little more decent weather before the winter gloom descends. DIL and DGD are now in Athens trying to adjust to high heat, DS1 will join them in week after he has been on a work trip.

    Eggs for lunch either boiled with salad or Greek style scrambled with veg & feta, I'll see what a I fancy nearer the time. This Grilled Teriyaki Fish With Veg And Noodles Recipe | Fish Recipes | Tesco Real Food using cod and fresh broccoli and some extra side veg.

    A bit overcast with light rain showers this morning but it’s feeling cold too with the wind coming from the North, the “feels like” temp is 12c quite a shock to the system.

    Lunch was more of the tapas meat selection with salad in a couple of mini wraps.

    I’ll just snack on fruit and cheese as I’m bowling early evening again, it doesn’t half mess up my meal routine as I don't like eating a meal before I go but don't really feel like eating after 8pm when I get home.

    I went to the Chichester theatre today to see MyFair Lady it was the matinee, reallly enjoyed it just not the chaos on the trains trying to get home. A combination of earlier signalling issues and speed reductions while they check rails. Chichester moved us to Barnham saying trains were sitting waiting at Bognor. Barnham didn't really know what was happening we were checking online for information then we crawled along with frequent stops as there were queues of trains! 35 min journey took 1.5 hours but at least I got home the other 4 ladies I was talking too had to get to London.

    Sandwich and cake in Chichester for lunch.

    It was 8pm before I got home so just beans on toast for dinner

    The concert in London was so good on Wednesday night.

    I got home yesterday as we had to get our dog back from the kennel. It feels so much cooler and it is lovely. It rained yesterday here for a while.

    I made overnight oats last night with blueberries and blueberry yoghurt that I just ate. I'm going to try and have that every morning as it is meant to be healthy and it tastes nice. I have an appointment this morning so I;m hoping the Amazon delivery gets here before I leave. It says 6 stops away.

    I have lots of food in at the moment. I'm not sure what I'm having yet.

    Bright & breezy this morning. The rains have freshened the air up and it's pleasant

    My car MOT fail saga continues, scrap pick up for Monday, collect my new [201] car tomorrow, maybe. meanwhile it seems I'm just sorting car paper work out, like insurance, breakdown cover etc etc. Thank heavens for internet, imagine years ago posting stuff off and waiting on replies

    Quick meal shuffle, spotted the pork loins are Use By today, so one for dinner and freeze the rest. I thought I had more time, but what with the car and other things time has slipped away

    Lunch, Cheese & onion pasty

    Dinner, grilled pork loin steak, AF chips + salad bits

    Still cooler but turned into a lovely sunny afternoon, load of towels put through the washer and dried on the line 😀

    Had an appointment in my lunch hour so quick beans with toast when I got back.

    Feeling quite a lot better today but still very very glad to have made it to the weekend. Had a short walk after work as felt in need of fresh air.

    Harissa roasted courgette and new potatoes with whipped feta and crispy onions tonight 😋

    Back to Friday volunteering after missing three weeks and luckily it wasn't too busy.

    In town during the summer they have live music in the band stand and food trucks, some of the shops stay open as well, this week was a queen tribute so I went from volunteering to my sister and we walked down. So many people this week but a lovely atmosphere it finishes at 8pm. We had crispy chicken burgers and fries 😋 My nephew has friends around so my sister is staying here tonight

    Gammon and mustard roll for lunch at my desk
