Good morning, everyone.
Apologies for the briefness and abruptness of yesterday's entry - I was in a right grumpy old mood and feeling very, very tired. No idea why the tiredness as I didn't sleep badly, but I've slept like a log overnight and am feeling much more cheerful today.
The journey over to my parents' was as easy as it ever is with, amazingly for a Friday, no hold up in Little Hadham. The roadwork holdups in Standon more than made up for that but it was all straightforward, no complications.
I cook the meals when I visit but Friday's is always very straightforward. I wrap salmon in foil, pop some potato waffles on a tray and they bake at the same time while I cook some frozen peas on the hob. That, with a fruit salad for afters, always makes us a delicious meal with practically no effort and it gets wolfed down!
Today I am off to the local shop this morning. I'll walk unless it is lashing with rain as I need some fresh air. Then I usually make up for the lack of effort the evening before by concocting something for dinner. Today's it's a savoury mince with a macaroni cheese topping, something that works with Slimming World and is absolutely delicious! There should be several portions left to freeze for mum and dad to have over the next fortnight so it is win-win all round.
This afternoon I will do the bit of ironing that's in the washroom and then sit and knit.
So that's me today! What are your plans?

Planning is on our list - planning our future, jobs around the house, jobs at the cottage - you name it we will be doing a plan for it. No point in venturing out the weather is just windy and wet. Have a good day - your mum and dad will enjoy your company this weather is making us all a bit miserable I think - we need sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI agree, we really do. Sunshine and a bit of warmth.
DeleteGood luck with the planning. It sounds important and I hope it's going well.

It is my daughter’s birthday so we are meeting up in Chester at Moules a GoGo ,Sarah,her OH ,two granddaughters,myself and my OH.The weather is dire so the walk from the car park will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely (the meal, not the walk). Have a fantastic time.

The weather here is horrible - wet and windy - so we will be staying home today. I'll probably catch up with the household chores and write a shopping list, one which has a focus on healthier eating. I'm getting fed up of my snug fitting jeans.X
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that. I shall be planning next week's menu at some point, I think. I usually have it done by now!
DeleteHow are you going to tackle it?

I have band practice this morning and an afternoon assembling the new bedside cabinets. I wonder how many spare bits I’ll have at the end?
ReplyDelete< grin > Goodness knows - not too many, I expect.

Sounds like a lovely lazy saturday! it's snow and sleet here so all plans abandoned.. a day indoors beckons with the calcutta cup later - what's not to like?!
ReplyDeleteSnow and sleet? Brrrrrrr - most unpleasant. A day in the warm sounds just about right!

We went to a 5-year-olds birthday party and saw lots of family members we hadn't seen in a while. I had a wonderful time. Sounds like you had a great day planned today too! Hope all went well.
DeleteIt went well, thanks, although I didn;t get my walk. Never mind.

Have you tried using parchment paper food wrap instead of foil for the salmon in the oven, since there are causes for concern using foil? Maybe it's called baking paper in the UK. I use it all the time for baking and cooking now.
ReplyDeleteWe have parchment too - good idea, thank you.
