It must be over a year since they had the mushroom & the beetroot burgers. They don't even seem to be doing dried mixed fruit any longer. But they aren't the only ones that have stopped stocking things.

Ooh that recipe looks nice, thanks for the link.
I'll also be leaving out the pine nuts!1 -
Happy Thursday 😁 My Friday today as I'm off tomorrow.
WFH again today just waiting for the BG engineer to do the boiler service, I've had a message to say he will be here shortly. Once he's been and gone I will take the dog on the park for a ball run.
Today's exercise plans are dog walking, a lunchtime strength training class and Zumba at 5.30.
Tonight's dinner is veg sausage traybake, no recipe just making it up as I go along.

How did you find the new recipe, @Sun_Addict? It looks like my kind of things (pine nuts included) so I might copy it down for my (ever-increasing) list of recipes to try. It's one DH would like as well.
It's so good you have the holiday coming: I expect that will be a bit of a battle beforehand as naturally you will associate it with recent horrors, but think back to all the holidays that have been lovely, and remind yourself that's the most likely scenario this time.

Another one here who is a fan of lime and coriander rice - I just sprinkle some lime juice over cooked basmati rice and then fork through some finely chopped coriander. That same combination works brilliantly with couscous too - as does lemon and parsley.
Reverting back to MrSA's accidents for a second - where the "worst" ones (I know, they're all grim, but...) are caused by him forgetting medication, is the path of least resistance here to just take over that medication responsibility from him and to set a reminder on your own phone to give them to him to take? I know you shouldn't have to take that much responsibility, but it might be better than the alternative!
Glad to hear DD has a resolution to her issues even if it is surgical - sounds like they're cracking on with that at least though, and that the timing should work out well for you!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

@Cherryfudge it was really nice.@EssexHebridean I’ve already taken over the medication to be on the safe side. I sort out his morning meds otherwise he’d forget so makes sense to take over the evening IBS meds too.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
