Evening all

Time has run away with me again, and I have missed a couple of days.

Thanks for the recipe link @Bagpuss741

Today I have:

Walked dog

Redone freezer inventory

Harvested a load of basil from the greenhouse and made pesto - I ran out of nuts before I used up all the leaves. Found some frozen walnuts, they will do, so I can make more tomorrow!

Made a sausage casserole thing for dinner, to use up various bendy veg. There is enough for lunch tomorrow as well  

Picked more raspberries, plus a few strawberries and blueberries. Also a lettuce.

OH picked more beans

Worked this afternoon

Need to finish pesto, freeze some beans, and make ratatouille tomorrow, to use up aubergines and courgettes. Also need to sort out spare bedroom as I have GDs aged 14 and 11 staying this weekend. They are vegetarians who don't much like vegetables so that will be fun! I make lots of veggie dishes, but doubt that they will like those - guess that means a trip to the supermarket to buy fake sausages etc

One thing I set up this week with my debit card is the facility to donate money to charity every time I use my card. I purposely set the amount high (equivalent to about 30 pence per transaction). It may sound stingy but hear me out. It made me realise how many silly or wasteful purchases I was making. At first I balked at the amount I gave away last month - then realised it was nearly exactly the amount I had spent in just one indulgent shopping trip. It's made me think more carefully about how I spend and what I spend it on.
