We're off to Salisbury for a few days. Looking forward to it. They have a great bus service so can get to various places easily. We're going to do Stone Henge one day as there's a direct bus - it's only about 10 miles away but no doubt we'll end up riding around for an hour or more!
Well done @Coxy11 on the hiking and the great loss and brilliant to get SOTW too.
Pleased to say my thumb seems to be ok, I've not even had any of the strong painkillers just some Ibuprofen and it seems to have kept the pain at bay.

Morning all,
Sorry things have been so stressful @Jellybaby the steak and veggies sounds lovely. Hope you enjoyed x
Safe travels @joedenise and @maman x
Good luck to those weighing in today x
We ate at the village pub last night. I chose monkfish - it came with a tomato/red pepper sauce and cubed potatoes - the sauce was more like a broth, not creamy, so hopefully a good choice. I hadnβt had any SWIPs so had a single rum and Pepsi max.
We have ILs here today for a BBQ. I am making SW-friendly potato salad plus a huge salad bowl. Thereβs RM coleslaw too but Iβll avoid that. Will do cruditΓ©s as well. Meat wise thereβs various bits and bobs which Iβll check on the scanner later so I can stay on track.
Have a good day everyone.Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2026 founding member π Read 26 books in 2026 15/26 Currently

Morning all,
I missed your loss @Coxy11 fab π and your meal out sounds delicious. No chance of BBQ here, itβs cold and wet βΉοΈ
Got to class and it was a STS. For once, Iβm delighted with that. I honestly thought it was going to be a massive gain.
I had breakfast when I got back, the usual granola, chopped fruit and Kvarg so fibre choice and 0.5 swips. Iβm meeting friends for a late lunch and Iβll probably have pasta with a tomato based sauce.
If Iβm hungry later tonight Iβve plenty cold meat, eggs and fruit to snack on.
