I suspected it was a weed, anyway it’s called Garlic Mustard and is edible, apparently the leaves are delicious in salads. I’m not going to pull it up as the flowers are pretty and it’s growing in shady areas under trees where nothing except for bluebells grow.2

We have that hedge garlic too - a neighbour talked me into trying some and it really is very tasty!
We also have an invasion of ground elder.Apparently it, too, is edible and a good source of vitamin C at this point in the year when natural vitamins are a bit scare. I haven't tried it yet!
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Morning all
Another spending day as it's Mr SA's hospital appointment this afternoon for them to look at the scab on his face that keeps bleeding and won't heal. Typical that in the last few days it's actually started to look a lot better, but best to get it checked out. Taxis to/from the hospital will be just under £30!! It would be much cheaper to get the bus but would take forever as it's a total of 4 bus journeys, we'd have to take the wheelchair as he can't walk far and I'd have to push him which is really hard work. Plus the appointment is at a busy time of the afternoon so the buses would no doubt be rammed.
I doubt I'll hit my NSD target of 12 this month as I'm running out of days between now and when we go on holiday and still have things to do/pick up.
WFH again because of the hospital appointment. In the office Thursday and Friday. I need to clear out my locker as we are moving to a brand new office building while I'm on holiday.
I'm hoping to be back in time to go to the WW live Fit Steps class at 6pm. Other exercise will be lunchtime dog walking.
Need to get a veggie lasagne out of the freezer for tonight's dinner, need something quick. Lunch will be left over mushroom risotto from last night.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
