Good idea to defrost sooner rather than later. I agree with @jwil the turkey will be fine. I used to have frozen turkey from Christmas up until Easter.
It is great that you keep exercising despite often not feeling very great at all. I need a bit more of your attitude.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Thanks @jwil and @doingitanyway for the reassurance that I shouldn't die of food poisoning 😼
I did exercise yesterday 🥵🏋️♂️ Today ? No chance ! This is because ..
I met local friend for 4 Guiness 🍺🍺🍺🍺!Was initially going to be 2 , but I overtalk and thankfully my friend was persuaded 😸
Great day !we may go walking 🐾/ cider to Poole on Tuesday . Weather permitting 🌧🌞
May have to change appointment with mr trainer 🏋️♂️But we'll see .
The weekend will see me 'recording ' my efforts of synth 🎹 and bass guitar etc 🎧
This may entail me to buy the recording software that is needed. ££. Not great but I'd be mad not to in the long run 🏃♂️I'll train tomorrow 🥵🏋️♂️and see what gives .The week ahead , I intend to cut down on the bread 🍞. I have been overdoing it massively until mr trainer 🏋️♂️put things in perspective on Tuesday .The walk today was different as it was to and from ..the pub 🍺. The hill was manageable 🥵, so maybe I'm doing something right .😼
Sleep still unsettled 🛌 too much now to go on about
I'll leave it there ..🌞3 -

Still walking 🐾,still training 🏋️♂️🥵 slight changes to this planned week ...
I decided not to go for walk yesterday 🐾with friend as I didn't want to change schedule with mr trainer 🏋️♂️as we are only starting up again after messy couple of months.
Just as well, as mr trainer wanted me to train early afternoon instead of mid mornings which worked ! My friend and I have rescheduled for Fri all going well . There may be a problem there..
Problem being I had to order Studio Headphones🎧 ( cheaper budget type ) , plus a couple of other things electronic due to connectivity issues 🎹.
most of stuff is arriving today, but one bulky item was saturday deliver which is now Friday.
Hopefully it will come tomorrow instead. I may have to reschedule for another day which I do not want to do .
Regarding the headphones 🎧; I am out of touch with materials used. I was looking for the sponge 🧽type that don't block out everything . The ones coming seem to do job , but it seems that sponge 🧽 type are no longer made . Worse things in life .
Still, I had the present pair over 20 years . The wires just had enough and started to split
Regardng food; I had to Chuck out frozen steak this morning . This was due to the sickly garlicky taste that I purchased from butchers of all places 🤮🤢😡
I'm back to getting it from supermarkets . 🛒 Bad hygiene by the butcher 🔪
I had that happen from them on more than one occasion . Are they having a sandwich with out washing their hands 🥪🖐?I had a strange phonecall 📞from Funnyexpert . The lady was nosing around 👃to find out when my energy tariff ends . I politely told her that I'm staying put when contract ends.( Thanks Harz for tip ) . She immediately apologised for the mess up created when trying to switch to Orbit energy who are no more .🛰
I politely told her I appreciated the call and wouldn't use a company that is shall we say on a trend with other advertisers all over the place 😸. The company that supplies my energy actually apologised , compensated me and put me on their best tariff which expires in July after excessive smart meter pressure. She seemed confused and didn't know how to respond 😸
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it 🌁
I've blocked the no.anyway 📞😼I'll leave it there 🌥3 -
Had to get an extra shop from haterose 🛒 . No substitutions .
Headphones 🎧purchased were not suitable for my large head, and are due to be collected. Looking for a similar pair is problematic .Myself and my friend met today for walk 🐾..then cider 🍺🍺🍺🍺. Great day!
One annoying thing was that just before we met , I had to backtrack all the way home to collect my 2 false teeth ! 🦷🦷. So I got an extra walk 🐾 up and down the hill before we even started .I did exercise yesterday 🥵🏋️♂️ But not today . Will continue over weekend .
Tomorrow I'm due to receive a package from the Amazon 🎹. I missed the pick-up of headphones going back but that will be rearranged asap .
I did reveive a text invitation to go to my nieces daughters christening from my sister last week. It is beng held in London tomorrow , but tbh I am not motivated rightly or wrongly.
staying put !I'll leave it there ..🌞🥶2 -
I don't blame you not going to London at the moment!
I laughed at the false teeth - but good to go back for them for the extra exerciseDebt free and Keeping on Track1 -
The teeth reference mad eye laugh too. Nice to read you are getting out and about.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
