Good morning, everyone. After some pretty gusty wind yesterday (brrrr), it's supposed to be 'moderate' today. I bet it will still feel chilly. However, we're supposed to have a fair bit of sunshine which will be nice.
Yesterday was dominated by SW group in the evening. I made the chcken pasta which turned out very nice and I'm very happy that I made far too much because now I have three portions, one portion of plain pasta (I'm dreadful at judging pasta amounts) and a portion of nice tomato sauce as it was too liquidy (but not runny or weak flavoured) so I ladled some off, all hiding in the freezer.
The taster food people brought in was all delicious and there are several things I want to make now.
Best of all, I lost two and a half pounds and am now in the healthy BMI range. Woo hoo! I know I've had a tum upset but that's balanced by me making a mega-piggy of myself at Mum and Dad's last weekend so I think it is swings and roundabouts really. I have one pound to go to get my next award so that's do-able, and less than a stone to go before hitting my amended target.
Today there is absolutely nothing in the diary, not even tuition as it's Friday and I am home this weekend. I think that I will have a leisurely breakfast, tidy up the house for my cleaner and then take the bus into town as the market is open on Fridays and I want to look at the fabric stall, at the knitting patterns and maybe get some cheap veg as well. I'm getting to be a right gadabout now I have a bus pass and it's good fun!
Then I will come home to a clean house, thanks to my lovely cleaner, and I will sit and knit and generally have an easy day watching back to back Poirots. Bliss.
That's the plan, anyway. What's yours? Have a great time, whatever it is.

I have a busy one today with hopefully the coffee machine repaired but I dont know when the man is coming.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed he can repair it this time. You've waited long enough.

Eldest daughter and grandson arriving - fun weekend ahead - opposite of quiet!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the SW result
have a good day
Totally the opposite - how lovely.
DeleteAnd thank you.

Have a lovely day off, hope the day stays dry for you. Ever since Bodychef I use 55g of dry pasta/rice per portion, seems to work well and I've got used to the smaller helping.
ReplyDeleteThat's plenty for me but when it comes to larger amounts, I make too much - I didn't really know how much would be needed, you see. It won't be wasted though.
DeleteI picked that up from Bodychef too. :-)

I just multiply per portion/person.
DeleteCongratulations on your SW loss! You are doing fantastic.
ReplyDeleteTHanks, Sue. I'm really thrilled with how it's going at the moment. Fingers crossed for the last lap now.

I am still recovering from mum's visit - somehow I find it difficult to get back into a routine. Had to shop on a Friday today - too busy for me. Hoping to relax and get everything back to normal over the weekend. Have a good one xx
ReplyDeleteIt can take quite a while, can't it? I hope you truly are able to relax and get your equilibrium back again.
