That sounds delicious Suzeesu thank you, I’ll definitely give that a try next month.
Nice sunny morning here but there is a chance of rain this afternoon. I took a quick trip to aldi as I wanted some more salad stuff; I also like their sachets of couscous, got the spice infusion this time.
Lunch is a falafel wrap again.
Dinner - there is some potato salad to use and I’ll do a chicken, white bean, sweetcorn and jalapeno salad to go with it.

Petworth again today, I've been helping covering holidays, another shift Wednesday then back to usual every other Saturday until half term. It was busy again today which is good, probably because it was dry and cooler
I forgot to organise lunch for today so grabbed blue cheese, crackers and grapes.
AF fried chicken with coleslaw, sweet potato fries and salad for dinner

Lovely and sunny here this morning. Packed a sandwich, which used the end of the coleslaw, and went to meet family for a short walk. Nearly got rained on (we took cover for a few minutes) and thought the load of bedding I had washed would have to go on the airer but the sun came back out and there was a decent breeze so all dried quite quickly. Tomorrow looks like last decent day for a while so need to get the towels done.
Early tea of egg fried rice with sad mushrooms, pak choi and LO Chinese pork belly, before going out this evening - there was wine and cake 😉

I ate quite late last night so I'm not hungry. I might just get something at the train station as I'm off to Brighton. I am eating dinner early out as well.

Cooler but dry & bright, hopefully it'll be nice along the coast at Brighton for Wednesday.
The lamb is still untouched in the fridge, but I found a just about in date jar of mild curry sauce and will attempt to turn some lamb into some type of lamb curry later. Nothing to lose except the gas cooking it, If it fails, then it's a frozen pizza for dinner 😁
Lunch, grilled cheese on toast
Dinner, see above, lamb curry or frozen pizza

That sounds like a lovely day out Wednesday, have fun.
The start of meteorological autumn and I’ve had the first touch of condensation on my bedroom window this morning 😳
It’s also raining so my plan for the day is to do some more decluttering and decide what to keep or put to the charity shop/recycling centre.
There’s enough chicken salad leftovers to have for lunch today and I think I’ll make a sausage pasta tonight with one of the fancy sausages I bought and some of “super 6” peppers I got from aldi.

Good morning everyone,
Enjoy Brighton Wednesday. Fingers crossed for the curry Farway.Autumn seems to have arrived and not just a date on the calendar! It's grey, very wet, windy and I'm wearing a jumper albeit not a heavy one! I can see the stove getting lit tonight. A day of chores and general "stuff" on the "to do".
Pea & ham soup again for lunch. Trying this tonight Miso Cod With Edamame Rice Recipe | Tesco Real Food with additional side veg.

Brighton is lovely. Not too hot anymore and a nice breeze. Perfect weather.
I had a veggie sausage roll from a bakery for lunch and then I just had an early dinner of Chinese as my friend had to get back as she is pet sitting.
I have some wine, nuts and fruit for snacking in the hotel.

Well it has stayed dry but not very sunny and a slight chill in the air. Two loads of washing dried on the line though so that's me up to date just before the rain starts again tonight.
Not much work catching up as everyone had the long weekend off so got a few more things crossed off the to-do list and a couple of good catch ups with people done.
Got houmous when I shopped as I have carrots and cucumber need eating so that was lunch with toasted pitta and some feta and olives (from my co-op bargain hunt). Prawn and green bean thai red curry with noodles tonight 😋

I'm glad you had a good day in Brighton Wednesday.
It was a good drying day here as well, dry with a nice breeze, so two loads washed and dried.
A sorting, tidying day here getting ready for decorating,I've gone up and down stairs so many times today.
Tinned mackerel on toast for lunch.
Pork chop, new potatoes and veg for dinner
