    I was in Lidl on Friday and had been considering buying a cauliflower - watched a lady going through them one at a time trying to find even one of a decent size, she failed, so I bought broccoli instead!  :lol: 

    Entirely delighted to hear that you had good feedback on MrSA needing more help, physio etc - here's hoping that things get moving fairly swiftly now.

    Yes - that bread is definitely too nice to have it hoovered up by someone who won't even taste it as it disappears! 

    Decadent indeed - I'm afraid the bottle of wine I had over the weekend very much got finished - so I'm quite jealous of yours!

  • Hope you enjoyed the wine . I think we are going away at the same time again, can't wait for some sun. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • Yumm the stir fry sounds nice. I keep thinking about getting an air fryer but still don't know if I would use it enough just for me.
    If you got one with the drawers I'm sure you'd use it a lot. You can do a lot more than air fry with them - roast, bake, etc. You could always buy a small one and see how you get on with it. I often use the air fryer just for me as we all eat different things. 
    Do you know of any good makes
