Back to Normal..

Getting back to normal after the clocks going forward. It seems that it was like jet lag this time, and it took us ages to get into the routine again. Last night I had just dropped off and there was an almighty thing landing on my side. It was little Rusty..who didn't feel quite so little at that hour of the morning! she felt more like big Bobby actually. Anyway that woke me up and I had the Divil's own job getting back to sleep again. Consequently could have stayed in bed for ages this morning!
Got up and didn't do much, we weren't going out today, but I got a phone call from the Drs and asked me to go in after the blood test. Went at 2.30 and saw the young Doctor.She wittered about my iron levels, and the blood sugar control and the blood pressure!!!Once they get their mitts on you there is no end!. Said I was a bit anaemic so she was going to write to the renal Dr., Why can't people leave you alone?
We were only there a few minutes, and then came home for a tiny cup of coffee, Best part of the day.Made an appointment for the hairdressers tomorrow too. There has been no sign from Emma so I will go to the one in Formby again.
VT is tidying up again today, sorting out things to take to the charity shops. Good for him.
Tonight we are having:
Cauliflower and Broccoli cheese,
Mashed Potatoes
Quorn escallope.

Body Clocks!!

Woke up late again this morning! It seems that we are waking up too early then turn over and then we wake up much later. this morning it was 10 past 10. So, no morning coffee. i enjoy the morning coffee..we generally lie there for a bit discussing things, and I like that.
Just watching QVC and they are doing Biscuits.!Mind you they do look like nice biscuits, but a terrible price.Crispy crunchy biscuits!! They do make you feel hungry though!
Since we got up late we nipped into Crosby for the veggies this morning. Came back with just under £10 worth of veggies to last the week and we were only there for 1/2 and hour.
Tonight we are having:
Drumsticks, with a 1/2 packet of bread sauce,
little baked potatoes
Mixed vegetables, carrots green beans and peas.
Sauteed mushrooms.

Spring Forward...

The clocks went forward one hour last night. really threw us. We woke up very early and VT went down to get our coffee then we dozed off again, didn't wake up till much later so everything is delayed today!.
Had a late breakfast and a later lunch and later doing the crosswords! Never mind we will catch up during the week.
Made a beautiful Sourdough oatmeal loaf today, must take a picture of it, and a good pizza dough for later.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with our tomato sauce,
Salad with avocado baby plum tomatoes, cucumber etc.,
Pineapple and some roasted vegetables.
Potato salad and a rice salad for VT.

Start the Weekend..

With the postman knocking at the door with a parcel. Why is it that they always come on a Saturday, and why is it that they always come early on a Saturday, when for the rest of the week it is normally mid morning?
Nice necklace arrived from Pilgrim in the Cheshire Oaks, it was an exchange for the one I sent back, so everything arrived safely.
VT went out this morning to get some fuel, and I stopped in which is my wont. Saturday papers after lunch and watched last weeks recording of Lewis. Very watchable, but not quite as good as the old Morse programmes.It is the John Thaw thing I think, he was so good in that role.
Quite cold today, but dry. VT saw a weather map on some channel and it showed Perth Australia where John and Ann are and it was 36degrees! that's hot for their Autumn.
Tonight we are having:
M&S Moussaka their dine in for two for £10 range, and
Roasted Vegetables Mediterranean,
A tiny bit of gaarlic bread.

Friday Foray..

Took my money off to ASDA this morning. We had originally thought that it was The grand national this weekend, so had decided not to go the Aintree way. But it isn't it must be next week. So we had decided to go to the Southport shop.
It is quite easy to get to..a bit of a trek, but the parking is easy, and it is a big quite quiet shop. I like ASDA actually, but not for clothes, I find their clothes very cheap and not the sort I would wear. Always have a look around but never buy anything.
Stocked up on a lot of items especially ones that were on offer, it is a good shop for that, and it is a cheap shop. They seem to have a big range of goods that are on the round pounds..£1 £2 etc.,, so we got jars of sauces that we can stock up. Since we had got our Friday night meals and Saturday night meals from M&S yesterday, we didn't have to spend time thinking what we were going to have for the weekend which we usually do. We had a bit of a look round, and no coffee so we were home fairly early.
Tonight we are having:
Spinach and ricotta canneloni,
Mixed vegetables with asparagus,Maybe a tiny bit of garlic bread.

Mountaineering Bobby!!

Just had big Bobby on my knee, while I was trying to type. She then decided to climb up on top of the computer, and then behind on to the printer. Naughty girl..she then sat for ages on top of the printer looking cross before climbing down on to the other printer!! Finally on to the floor. What a curious cat!.
Went out this morning over to the new M&S in Aintree. Lovely shop, except it is very difficult to park there nowadays, but we were lucky something was just pulling out. Quite a nice shop actually, and they had a bit of a sale on but the one thing VT was looking for they didn't have in his size. His size must be poplear unfortunately. I didn't see anything I fancied at all.
Then we had an Americano upstairs, and a nice biscuit, and a visit to the food section downstairs. Bought some deals, 3 for £5 deal of spinach and ricotta canneloni in the count on us range, some veggies on 2 for £3, and some of their jars of sauces. Got those then went to go, and decided on the last minute to get their Dine in for £10 for Saturday night instead of the chinese. The vegetarian choice is vegetable moussaka and we got some roast vegetables, and a bottle of lovely chardonnay, and a fresh fruit salad for dessert. it turns out it was a good deal actually.
Tonight we are having:
Roast vegetables, with little potatoes,
A quorn style fillet in tomato and we will have some mushrooms with it.

Day in Today

Didn't go out today..didn't do anything much either..couldn't be bothered. VT was looking at my finances this afternoon, and sorting out where my money lies. I haven't really spent a huge amount from my lump sum etc.,Bought the odd holiday and a computer and my hearing aids and that's it really. We are thinking about a holiday in october again,but it will depend on the money rates etc. The last time we went to the States we got a fantastic rate of exchange almost two dollars to the pound which meant that everything was half price more or less. This time the dollar is $1.30 to the pound which is a big difference. We shall have to see. We didn't go away last year so we are due a break. Tonight we are having:
Quorn fillets in a white wine and cream and mushroom sauce,
Stir fry vegetables,
Rice or 8oz of new potatoes.
