This is The Big Thousand...

Just noticed, yesterday's post was 999 so this one must be the Tghousandnth one. Fancy that.. well I have lasted longer than poor Gordon Brown. My postings started the day he became Prime Minister.The original idea was to keep a sort of diary to monitor our Healthy Eating Plan. That was actually quite successful because we both ditched the fats and oils and ate more healthily. We have had a few setbacks, but on the whole it has proved to be quite good. The idea was to post what we were having for our evening meals each night as a sort of record, a daily diary mostly. Some of the things we started doing we still do, like weighing potatoes and pasta and only having a set portion of rice. I don't use olive oil any more or spreads and try to find low fat versions of things, so not doing too badly.
This morning we nipped into Crosby to Sainsbury's, you get 1/2 an hour free parking so that limits how long you browse for. We were home in time for coffee . VT went out to feed the ginger girl next door, we leave some biscuits in a bowl on our doorstep, and came back and said there was a frog on the doorstep. The ginger girl was of course waiting..so VT came in and got a box took it out and coaxed the frog into it and took it through to the back where he let it go. I wonder which pond that had come from? Poor little thing, at least it won't be some cats dinner.
Quite cold again today, VT said last night that in the paper it was the same temperature as Perth in Australia, and it is coming up to their winter!
I had my jacket on but there were people in summer tops kidding themselves the weather is warmer.
Made an appointment to get my hair cut tomorrow at ten o'clock, it needs doing too, must be ages since I had it done, it's getting all straggly at the ends. Might make some tomato sauce then, or leave it till Thursday. Could do with going to The Cheshire Oaks this week, its ages since we were there.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese and Broccoli escalopes,
Sliced and sauteed field mushrooms
Squashed potatoes
Carrots and fine beans.
