Progress not Perfection

Happy Saturday 🥂

My ankle and feet have been ok today. Still keep getting spasms of pain in my ankle when I’m walking downstairs though. 

I had to go out first thing as we had run out of milk. No one told me! I wouldn’t mind but I don’t use milk 😞

Took the dog on the park after that. Picked a few blackberries for tomorrow’s overnight oats. 

Despite trying to rest up a bit I’ve still done 11,000 steps. 

DS and the GKs visited this afternoon although they didn’t seem to be here long. 

Was concerned about the young cat earlier as she was just curled up in a ball sleeping and not eating. However she seems to have perked up a bit since then. 

During the free electricity hour I did a load of washing, roasted a butternut squash for tomorrow’s risotto, made a batch of split pea soup, did a load of ironing and charged up my iPad and vacuum cleaner. 

Mr SA broke the camping chair he got out of next door’s skip so it’s gone back in there 😐 He’s acquired a camping table from the charity shop that he insisted was a stool but is very clearly a table! 

Had a couple of hours in my hanging chair reading my book after DS & co left. 

Tonight’s dinner was Moroccan style veggie burger with wedges and salad. 

Have just opened the Rose Prosecco 🥂

Forgot to say I had a mini panic when an email containing a voucher for 6 free drinks in a city centre pub courtesy of my birthday had mysteriously disappeared. I had mentioned it to my friends I’m celebrating my birthday with. Anyway as if by magic I received another email saying don’t forget to use your voucher 🥳

So I have free drinks for 6 people and 25% off our bill for the lunchtime catch up with my friends. Plus 25% off a bottle of Prosecco I’m keeping for the day after my birthday when I’ve promised Mr SA Sunday lunch out at the local. I’ve had a few other vouchers for free Prosecco but don’t plan to visit those places.

Glad your ankle is feeling a bit better but please rest up. There is nothing preventing people from getting their own !!!!!! milk.
Smiled at the story about your mum and your shoes ❤️
Enjoy your prosecco 🥂

Forgot to add my mum meeting me with comfortable shoes also meant if I wanted to shake off an unwanted admirer who had insisted on walking me home, I could say oh there’s my mum, thank you, see you around (not if I see you first) 🤣

Love the shoe stories. The things mums do 😂😂
Glad the drink voucher got back in touch with you, it’s good to have something planned 👍The bigger slow cooker sounds ideal. Does your Dd cook for Mr SA sometimes.

No DD doesn’t cook for Mr SA.

Happy Sunday and what a lovely sunny day it’s been. 

Went to a local park a bit further away with the dog this morning. It has a nursery where they grow their own plants and I bought another plant for the garden, a pot of tarragon, some reduced price plant food and a big bag of locally grown plums. Recycled some electrical bits as they have a drop off point. Deposited my broken Lulu Guinness radio in the box for a local school that needs broken electrical items for kids to play with. Shame to say goodbye to such a beautiful looking radio but sadly it no longer works. 

My ankle has been better but still doesn’t like going down stairs. 

I sacked off all cleaning type jobs in favour of sitting in the sunshine in my hanging chair finishing my current book with leftover rose Prosecco. 

Tonight’s dinner was butternut squash orzo with lots of other veggies added. 

The aubergines I thought I was growing have turned out to be purple peppers, goodness knows what’s happened to the aubergines 🤣 The other normal peppers plant is bending under the weight of green peppers that I’m leaving to turn red. Had to prop up the tomato plants as they’re bending with the weight of huge tomatoes. My plants seem to be bearing huge fruit that the stems aren’t strong enough to support! 

I’m all prepped for the week ahead, thankfully my last full working week for a while.
