Some rain overnight here too but its turned out to be a lovely sunny day albeit there’s still a brisk wind blowing. The sea has calmed down a bit today although large waves were coming over the sea wall yesterday afternoon and I could hear them roaring during the night too.
I was very generous with the quantities of lentils & veg I cooked last night so I’ll use some for lunch as a warm salad with goats cheese and beetroot, the other two portions will go in the freezer and get used in a veggie lasagne/moussaka or shepherdless pie.
It’s either spag bol or chilli for dinner tonight I’ll know when its defrosted 😏

Not much done today or eaten we were all shocked last night by the sudden and unexpected death of my brother. A lot of today has been spent talking to my sisters we were all due to meet up next weekend for our annual gathering. We are just relieved that it didn't happen when he was driving down from Yorkshire. Im so glad I saw him for a few days in Northumberland in august.

Very sorry about your brother Brambling. Life can take unwanted turns very quickly can't it?
Dry & sunny, blue sky, no rain to come through my roof. I don't think insurance would cover it, it's not damage AFAIK but maybe once the roofer gets up there I'll know more. Still waiting for roofer to "get back" to me, but I did say it's not an emergency, not like half the roof is missing or something, probably just something like a slipped tile
Lunch, defrosting a lamb burger, I'll have that in a sandwich, no buns available.
Dinner, grilled pork chop, plus salad. maybe handful of AF chips
