    Cherry - I can't get near the rose to smell it as it's over the fence on the banks behind my house. There are lots more flowers appearing and several smaller versions of Jaws are poking through the fence so I'm hoping they'll flower too. I don't know where this rose has originated from as the banks where it's growing are on a very long sheer drop covered in bushes. 
    I wonder whether someone got fed up of it, dug it up and fly tipped it - and what you now see is it slowly creeping back to take over the city.

    Don't have nightmares. :)

    It appears the Mr M discount problem was most likely due to DD inputting my &More card number incorrectly into her staff account 🙄 Looks like it might be sorted now 🤞

    Happy hump day 😎

    Have been for a short run this morning then had breakfast in the garden reading my book in the warm sunshine. A very pleasant start to the working day. 

    Having my eyebrows waxed and tinted today so not a NSD. 

    Today's cleaning task is the bathroom. Need to get a portion of veggie lasagne out of the freezer for tonight's dinner, will have with salad. Going to have a good look in the freezer/fridge/food cupboard today and see what I can use up, there's a few things that seem to be hanging on. For instance there's an unopened bag of okra in the freezer that I know I bought in 2019, no idea what I had planned for it.

    Have a good one 😁

    S. A  was just going to put recipe for ladies fingers and lamb (Egyptian dish) - then remembered you dont eat meat.  So not able to help with okra (ladies fingers).  Guess you could mix into veg curry . I bet others will come up with a better meal.
