In the Meantime

Laurels (or sometimes laurel wreaths) were awarded to successful generals in ancient times.  To rest on your laurels means to coast on previous achievements rather than doing new things

I knew what it meant, that's why I used it, but not its origins at the time. But thanks anyway 

Thanks @Sunshine_girl2

I always figured that resting on one's laurels might cause a rash on the tush.  Might be looking at the wrong plant.

Thanks @RosaBernicia (it was always @MuffinTops with the cheerleaders/dancing girls emoji 

Two uplifting phone calls with friends. One of the friends invited me to stay for a week next week so I don't need to stay here. I am ok, but I really appreciated the invitation.

I have my ticket booked and my friend will meet me at the station so I feel a bit more relaxed as I won't need to find the house by myself.

• walked to a l1d1 and bought healthy food instead of buying it more expensive nearer by.
• saved 80p by buying my travel tickets direct instead of through T-line.
• resisted eating out, made soup when I got in instead.
• bought the l1d1 veg box for 1.50 and turned most of it into veggie soup except for the asparagus that I am saving for a treat!

I sat in the park for a while today. It is cold here but the park was still lovely.

I hope you all had a good day.

Glad you enjoyed the park. Sounds like you have good friends. I too have made soup today (and yesterday).
