    Thank you.

    We have been quite enjoying our Friday evenings at home so far this year.

    Looking forward to getting back out in the van though now. I'm getting itchy feet to get out exploring new places :)

    The weather forecast for today is thoroughly miserable so we don't have a great deal planned for today. 

    We have just been around the block with the dog. He was not best impressed, he's sulking in bed now drying off.

    We have just had breakfast, beans on toast this morning, and are having a final coffee before we set about today's jobs.

    The other half has got a few jobs to do on the van. Nothing major just a couple of tidying up jobs that he has been meaning to do for a while. Tidying TV and DVD player cables and wiring in the new sat nav and making a holder for it to sit over the rear view mirror. I've been and turned the heating on in there for him. It was a tad cold.

    I'm going to tidy up the bathroom cupboards, finish off the kitchen cupboard declutter, make a fresh batch of jacket spuds for the freezer, make tonight's fish pie and get a couple of loads of washing done to keep myself occupied.

    We will take the dog out somewhere this afternoon when we are finished.

    After a lazy start this morning and several coffee's later we decided to head into the city again for our Sunday walk. A walk through 3 parks with plenty of mud.

    The dog was in his element. 



    We have just got back. The dog is fast asleep, the other half has gone to refuel the car and I've prepped dinner and got another load of washing in the machine.

    Slow cooked lamb casserole for dinner later in a giant Yorkshire pudding with mustard mash and greens. Looking forward to that. It smells amazing already.

    Might have a couple of beers this afternoon. Looking forward to the warmer weather again so we can use the garden.

    The weather has been very mixed here. Flurries of snow first thing followed by sunshine followed by rain. It’s supposed to get warmer this coming week.

    Mr SA loves giant Yorkshire puddings. Do you make your own or buy them frozen?

    We make our own at home. 

    Use frozen ones on the van though.
