Progress not Perfection

SuzeQStan

We noticed it was a lot more night life in pto this last trip in January - watch out for the E scooters they are a bit crazy there. But we love the promenade with the 5 mile coastal walk to keep away from the bars and shops on the other side.

Hope the cross and chain pester stops soon.

You should read the story.  Talk about a self inflicted injury.  He went in with his mother for her scan & obviously didn't declare his gun.  Only in America.  Being a lawyer the rule didn't apply to him.  I know I am awful but I had to laugh.

He was apparently an active part of the pro-gun lobby. Oh dear, how sad....

Just caught up with your goings on SA and I'm so sorry to hear that your DIL is still in pain and it will be ongoing. So awful for her and how worrying for the family. ☹️
Mr SA carries on the same as ever doesn't he?  Here have a halo for yourself - 😇 - you deserve it more and more as the months go on. Though when you wrote that he tripped up in the bedroom one night it did occur to me that he might have fallen over one of the numerous logs that he insists he has a 'project' for!😉

Mr SA went out and bought me a card. He was adamant Valentine’s is usually on a weekend 🤔

Have been quite productive today aside from work. Nipped out to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted, they look a tad like a couple of caterpillars but will fade a bit over the next few days, she says hopefully 😬 When I got back home I gave the kitchen a really good clean and sorted out both freezers before doing the live resistance bands session. 

The sweet potato in tomato and peanut sauce was absolutely delicious, would definitely make again. I used peanut protein powder rather than peanut butter. I never follow a recipe to the letter just adapt to whatever I’ve got in stock. I cooked it in my Ninja Dual and it took less than half the time stated in the recipe for the oven. My oven remains unused for well over 2 years now.

Absolutely about Valentines day SA. Christmas is usually a Wednesday, too... ;-) 

ROFL at the eyebrows - makes me quite glad the most attention mine ever get involves a pair of tweezers and a damp fingertip!

That's Wednesday done. Worked in the office for 6 hours then finished the day from home. Loving how the mornings and evenings are starting to get lighter, so nice not to be walking to work in the pitch black this morning.

Nipped into L*dl on the way home and picked up my free bakery item.

Received monthly statement from 0ctopus and am now down to £300 in credit which was expected although this time of year we're usually in debit. 

Today's exercise is the walking to/from work 17k steps plus a live Zumba session at 6pm that will see my steps go over the 20k mark for sure. 

Tonight's dinner is an old favourite recipe harissa prawn orzo from the Skinny Kitchen Secrets website here.

Going to try and be productive again before Zumba and give the bathroom a good clean. Also need to do some Spanish lessons and a couple of surveys before the day is out.

I'm very pleased you received your Valentine's card from Mr SA!💕
Re eyebrows - I used to have mine threaded but they've rather disappeared over the years so I don't bother now.  One-third of them at the end has disappeared and I pencil them in. I am thinking of dyeing them though - though I haven't for some months. Im quite horrified to see the odd white hair appearing now!  Oh - the joys of getting older.....☹️

Me too. The vagaries of hypothyroidism!

Tonight's dinner is an old favourite recipe harissa prawn orzo from the Skinny Kitchen Secrets website here. Sounds GORGEOUS love harissa! 

I’d love eyebrows like caterpillars - mine have disappeared

EDIT - meant to add Ocado has 30% off £60 threshold spend with free delivery offer. I don’t normally go near them but just got a whole weeks worth of food for £40 free delivery  - code I used is VOU1438866
