    The soup recipes sound delicious. I might give the tomato one a go. 
    Plesed to hear the jab after effects didn’t last too long…..it’s fascinating how it affects people differently..
    You could have done without spilt milk to clean up too.

    He’s cracked and gone to fetch the milk himself. I refused to go for it. I’ve told him he can pick his prescription up from the chemist while he’s out 😆

    He’s just phoned from the shop to ask what sort of milk he has 🤣

    To be absolutely fair it isn't as easy as it was when the tops were different colours.

    Morning, happy middle of the week.

    WFH again, could get used to this 2 days in a row at home.  Shame I now have to do 2 days in a row in the office Thursday/Friday. It's going to mix me up with what day it is though. Although I enjoy the relaxing starts to the day when WFH I couldn't do it every day as I need to get away from the house (Mr SA!!) at least 2 days a week, plus it's handy if I need to pick anything up from the city centre.

    Mr M delivery has been this morning, 3 subs this week which I've sent back as unsuitable. Not a problem as I can get said items from Lid! on the way home from work tomorrow. 

    Today's exercise plan is dog walking later this morning, a lunchtime walk and Zumba tonight. 

    Tonight's dinner is scampi, butternut squash wedges and lots of veg. 

    Cleaning tasks today are the living and dining rooms.
