We actually had sunshine again today - that's two days running. We did get some heavy rain this morning and my heart sank because I had walked to Slimming World but, by the time the meeting was over, it had stopped and the sun was out again. Phew.
I have lost this week - two and a half pounds which makes up for last week's gain - and I won the raffle which was some useful food stuff for my cupboards/freezer - pittas, can of corn, onions, a pepper, tomato puree, Italian herbs, pointing the way to making a pitta pizza, I suspect.
Sometimes there's raffle stuff I don't use and then it goes back into next week's Slimmer of the Week basket because there's no point wasting it, is there?

I'd put in a load of washing first thing so when I got home, out it went onto the line where it dried nicely. I MUST do some ironing tomorrow.
Apart from that, I cooked yummy meals (details over on t'other blog), read, watched telly/YouTube, made some rice pudding in Thermione (a treat for tomorrow) and had a bit of a snooze in the afternoon. A thoroughly lazy day, in fact. I bet I still sleep well though.
I made the classic mistake of taking an ovenproof frying pan out of the oven, forgot and touched the handle a few minutes later. Ouchity ouch!! Three slightly sore fingers but only one obvious blister - I'll survive!

The biggie for tomorrow is that Beth, Alex and I are having lunch out for Mothering Sunday. A week late, I know, but it won't be crowded. I'm really looking forward to that.
Better stop waffling and get this sent. Have a super day tomorrow, everyone. Sleep well. xx
Good plan avoiding going out on the actual day of Mothering Sunday! Less crowded and not a rip off!! We've had really heavy rain here for the last few days. Everywhere is just wet and soggy!! :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteI never thought about the rip off but you're right. It's the crowds we wanted to avoid and the noise. What with autism and hearing loss, that wouldn't be a good place to be.
DeleteToday's forecast says dry too - here's hoping! xx
I did the exact same thing the first time I used my new ovenproof frying pan - and did it twice! I must be a slow learner. It`s suggested to put a tea towel over the handle when you take it out of the oven, as a reminder. Enjoy your Mother`s Day outing today!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike! That's exactly what I did after running the burn under the cold tap!
DeleteThen I got an ice cube and held it on for ages and that took the blister down and this morning there's just a little white patch. I'm hoping I won't do that again, I hope, but I gather there are slip on handles you can buy - and then remember to use. lol
Hope the blister isn't too bad. One of these days I need to season a cast iron frying pan and will more than likely burn my fingers as well. Congrats on the weight loss and the win of the raffle.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
No, it's fine now, thanks, after application of ice cube to the blister! :-)
DeleteI hope you don't.
And thanks.
xx
Congrats on the weight loss. Hope you have a wonderful lunch out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon.
DeleteLooking forward to it. xx
Enjoy your lunch. Great idea to go a week later, avoid the reheated preprepped stuff and the higher prices.
ReplyDeleteThose little burns can be sore for days can't they, calendula cream is good.

Exactly!!
DeleteI swear by ice. It doesn't hurt at all this morning, not even when I press on it. :-)

Well done on the weight loss - now you can enjoy your lunch out:-) x x x
ReplyDeleteI did, thanks. Janice. It was a lovely time. xx
DeleteWell done on winning the raffle yet again. A Mother's Day lunch a week late sounds just perfect, less crowds, better service and no doubt no inflated prices either. I hope you have a lovely time. xx
ReplyDeleteIt was really lovely, thanks. xx
DeleteEnjoy your lunch in much quieter surroundings than it would have been last week. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt was busy but it wasn't heaving. It was really pleasant. xx
DeleteCongratulations on the weight loss. I think I've gained what you lost.
ReplyDeleteAw - still, there's always next week, isn't there?
DeleteThanks - I was pleased although the meal yesterday may have rather put the clappers on much of a gain this week. Still, we can but try! xx
I mean much of a loss, of course. lol!
DeleteLunch out sounds like a nice treat. I hope you all had a lovely time. Xx
ReplyDeleteWe did, thanks, very pleasant indeed. xx
DeleteOuch!! D knows that oven pain. She has a couple of marks from past experiences.
ReplyDeleteReally sore at first, isn't it. Pretty much all gone now though - not a bad burn at all. xx
