Thanks everyone
AC, I like L1ndt sea salt chocolate and MnS do a nice chocolate range. I go for dark chocolate on the whole, but GnB 37% cocoa milk chocolate on occasion. Montezum3 do giant chocolate buttons (can get them in Mr S and Mr W) in milk and dark and both are lovely especially when I am in a regressing and need comfort mood. I now have 2 bars of L1ndt seasalt as I’m just back from my shop. Knowing I can have a few squares with a cup of tea makes me feel happy
It’s the small things.

Been cycling and brought my shop home in the from basket. I had an extra bag on the handle. Mr S had no queue at all and the shelves seemed well stocked on the whole. I even managed to get eggs. I went to B the chemist and again for the first time, no queue. Stocked up on a few essentials so I look less like the cookie monster going forward.
I have been shopping like the vast majority do all the time. I bought an oil burner as my one broke, usually I would just wait until one turned up at the charity shop but I had to buy one at a cost of £5.50!! I have also purchased my veg and protein at normal price when usually 60-70% is purchased YS.
My household bio range of products arrived. So pleased with it and I won’t need to think about washing up liquid for a year now
My mood is good, maybe because I’ve had lots of outdoor cycling or maybe because I am the proud and excited owner of 2 bars of chocolate
The rest of the day will include gardening as the weather is good.
Enjoy the day everyone

Cooking in the DIA kitchen today:
chickpea, almond, oregano flatbread
leek, miso and lentil soup
beef and black bean burgers
Plan for the day:
I should be ashamed to write stripping the walls in the small room when it has been on my list for weeks, but hoping to shame myself into doing it.
Gardening
A walk/cycle
Creative work
The usual drudge of cleaning, decluttering, organising.
A telephone catchup
Wishing you all a positive day

You're still progressing really well DIA 😼
Don't forget because of the situation we are in , you will have lots of time to get the steaming done . The weather should be dry till after the weekend .I'm not Michael 🐠 or Jim 🥓 , but it seems that you can keep going in the garden while you are still in the mood to do so .Enjoy your day..6
