Very much enjoying the phrase 'rave from the grave' @Seasidegal58, will try to incorporate it in conversation at the soonest possible time 😁

Hope you're having a fabulous prosecco-y Sunday SA

We used to watch Come Dancing when I was a child.  I used to love looking at the beautiful costumes. We also watched The Black and White Minstrel Show (I know 🥴) but the ladies' dresses were also gorgeous.

I never really got what the problem was with the B & W minstrel show.  I had black friends back then who didn't give a monkeys about it.  I thought it was mostly men who blacked up so that other men didn't say things along the lines of look at those nancy boys prancing about.  Times change, lets face it most of Agatha Christie is unacceptable now, some of it was even when she wrote it.

That’s another weekend done ☹️

Didn’t wake up until almost 7am this morning! I must’ve needed the sleep though. DD was just leaving for work. Mr SA and the dog didn’t get up until 9am. 

Not a NSD as we went to the big Mr T. I took advantage of the 6 bottles of wine with 25% off and Mr SA wanted to try a different brand of lager that was only £10 a crate. I used some Clubcard vouchers to buy the new Jamie Oliver cookbook, there’s quite a lot in there I’ll make, he gives veggie alternatives to a lot of the meat recipes. 

Dropped off the soft plastics recycling and recycled a couple of make up items. 

Also stopped off at Mr SA’s favourite charity shop, dropped off a bag of donations and bought a wheeled walker for Mr SA and 5 books for £1 for me (yes more books 😬).

Finally got round to setting up my new scales that measure body mass, visceral fat, etc via an app. I was pleased to find everything is good. Also pleased to find I’m the same weight I was before the holiday so if I put anything on it’s gone and I never knew anything about it 🤣

My WW app has updated to show macros and totals to aim for against what I’ve had, which is useful. 

Both of the above are brilliant as a guide but I’m not going to get obsessed with them. 

After lunch cut the grass and did some weeding. 

Today’s exercise was walking to/from Mr T and gardening this afternoon. 

Tonight’s dinner was roast veg with veggie sausage and tomato lentils. A bit of a mash up of fridge, freezer and store cupboard stocks. Also finally used up a garlic flatbread that’s been in the freezer forever. 

Made a batch of butternut squash soup for work lunches. 

Enjoyed leftover Prosecco from last night 🥂
