Mrs SD thanks for my medal 🏅.

Tibawo,I have had vitamin B injections as I am vegan. In honesty I didn't feel any different after, but I didn't feel run down beforehand either. They are stingy little blighters as far as injections go.:13

Wishus, slurry in the cellar. omg I have only ever heard the term used in a farming capacity. Hahahahaha
I am in South Wales near Tenby in a very lush B n B. Today we went to the Brecon Beacons ( I am so sorry Welsh speakers,I can't remember the Welsh name). We planted the oak tree for our Grandson and were given a fabulous afternoon tea. It was nice to see the little fella. The weather was kind.
It is many years since I have been to Tenby. I used to bring the kids here when they were little. It seems much the same.
I just popped in, see you all soon.

Am very proud of OH - I sent him food shopping with a list and he only bought what was on the list. That is a massive improvement and should prevent things going ood as we will only buy what we need.
No decluttering as such today but some frogs nudged along.Decluttering Awards: 🏅🏅15 -
Due mostly to my buying a small heap of vintage tupperware (I like the mid-century pastel colours and wanted more containers to freeze leftovers in) I am now at 88 items out and 51 in. So 15 left to go still.
Things I let go include the plaster I was havering about, some glitter (no idea where and when I got that) a couple of brooches, clogged up paintbrushes and dried up leather cream, henna (I stopped dying my hair in the lockdowns) and books read and ready for the bookswap.

@Mrs_Salad_Dodger what brilliant photos. So cute!
@vulpix I know, certainly what I thought too! It's popular stuff at the moment. OH has bought all the slurry in the shire!
@Florafauna may I suggest, jacket spuds, quiches, pasta bake, or even a pasta puttanesca? Fish plus garlic, basil, tomatoes and olives, sometimes a splash of red wine -- my favourite!
In the Black Country, our sandwich filling of choice on a Sunday was tuna - mixed with pepper and vinegar!
3 great boxes of firewood... Given to a friend. We had a bargain getting them in for the winter, and then it wasn't really that cold.
The house is depressingly messy and my office is back to fullness. The cat seems quite down too. More will be gone at the weekend though!Keep reading books!
