Hello allToday I have / will:Dog walk first thingHome grown berries for breakfast - autumn raspberries are nearly over now, sadly. But I do have quite a lot in the freezer.Cleared up conservatory after OH fixed and painted some plasterboarding that had been left by the conservatory companyTied up massive chilli plants and put 2 of them back in the conservatory - the other one is now living at the end of my (big) dining table for now.Made some soup, too late for lunch today, but will do for tomorrow.Shopping at Lidl after work. Not a big list, as I am trying to get through the freezer contents.Dinner will be lots of bits from the fridge to make the equivalent of a big fried breakfast (though most will be grilled!). And there is a bit of apple crumble left for pudding2
