Friday, 20-02-26

Good morning, one and all.  Welcome to Friday - a bit damp and very gloomy but it feels just a little bit warmer so that's great.

I had my little list to work through yesterday and, for once, I did it all.

After a cheerful chat and laugh with Chris over coffee, I made a yummy breakfast and I'll show you the photo because I've been very short of photos recently, haven't I?

Here you go - I didn't make the yogurt but I made the chia seed jam and the waffles and enjoyed every mouthful.

I pootled off to Morrisons and came back with three semi-full bags plus cash to replenish the window cleaner pot - although I don't know why he bothers in this damp weather.
Anyway, as soon as I pay him, I replenish the pot so I don't get caught out!

After sorting out all the shopping and making/enjoying lunch, I set to the main task - the freezer.

To be fair, it wasn't all that bad.  The ice scraped off reasonably easily with the air of my hair dryer (I was VERY careful, I promise) and it wasn't that long ago that I sorted out the baskets and bags so it was still reasonably organised. 

And now it's all shiny, clean, back down to the right minus number (it really didn't take long to get cold again) and a pleasure to look into.

That's that for this year now, as far as defrosting is concerned!

I asked in our Governors' WhatsApp group because I noticed there was something in my diary about Monday but that's for staff, not for governors.  Can't say I am all that sorry!!

Today, I will be off to Slimming World shortly and then Alex is over for more cooking.  That will be nice.

When that's all done, I can make my dinner, get the coming week's meal planning done and chill for the rest of the day.
I can do my shopping before planning at the moment because I'm using what I already have and noting down on the following shopping list, as needed.  For example, I have chicken in the freezer but when I'm down to the last one or two bits, it goes on the next list.  Works for me and I don't do much top up shopping nowadays, I just substitute or change the plan.

Right, well, time to wrap this up and get ready for SW,
Have a lovely Friday, everyone.  May all go well.  xx
