    Just to let you know I received a PM from Caronc this morning asking me to pass on that her Dad had sadly died peacefully in his sleep. She will be absence for a while whilst she deals with things and will be back posting when she can

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I had some soya yoghurt for breakfast. It wasn't very filling so I just had baked beans on toast with some Marmite as well.:)

    I have a bowl of that carrot soup for later.

    Yesterday I had a craving for a salad I used to make, chopped apples, celery and peanuts in mayo. I don't know if that sounds like a weird combo.:rotfl:

    That salad sounds lush. Jamie Oliver made a radish, n spring onion one last night, looked delish .I Love all kinds of salads :D
    Not sure what's for tea tonight.Might do egg , chips n beans , not had it for yonks:p

    Just seen the Caron dad post, very sad news and totally unexpected. If you reply Brambling please pass on my condolences

    Breakfast was usual porridge, with lashings of tea & water in prep for blood test hunt the vein

    No problem today, then on my way to town

    Slim pickings on YS front, the only bit was a YS gammon joint in W/rose, a big one but fits with my decent meat policy
    And the Cornish sea salt, no sign of smoked version in my branch

    The total in W/rose was over a tenner, so grabbed a "free paper", only to find Express is not one of the free ones, changed it for Times. Express is 60p, Times £1.80. No wonder JL group profits are down with those sort of deals

    Lunch was cheese & salady sarnie

    Dinner, longing for fish, so it's jumbo F Fingers, HM skin on chips, couple of grilled wrinkly toms, with sprinkle of Cornish SS to try out

    Evening all

    I'm sure Caronc will appreciate all the condolences from our little CFO community :)

    Farway did the Cornish salt improved the chips? Do I need to go out and buy some to go with my golden malt vinegar :D.

    The car survived its service and MOT, the whimpering you can now hear is my credit card, luckily just one new tyre :( they were suppose to deal with a recall with my airbag at the same time but had run out of the part :mad: so it will need to go back which is a pain as they want it all day. I enjoyed driving the new loan car through, but not enough to buy one :)

    Lunch today was the last of the chicken soup. Dinner was some YS aubergine stuffed arancini balls from w*itrose, I think they forgot to add the aubergine and just added double garlic :eek: even I found it too much Farway I had them with and some YS stir fry green veg. Whilst they were cooking I made some mini crustless quiches (baked omelettes) with roast peppers, mushrooms, spring onion and cheese, tested one just now just to confirm they were ok :D and I'll have some with salad for lunch tomorrow

    Blimey, are you me?

    I had a service/MoT yesterday... it passed, but there was a nail in the tyre, so I'd expected to need a new tyre but the specialist tyre company did a repair on it instead (didn't expect that! I'd expected them to just fit a new one).

    I pre-paid three years of service/MoT last year, so I only had to spend £20 on the tyre fix (not £55 for a new one).

    Now you can look up MoTs online, and all the history, I can see I've done 1800 miles since my last MoT.
