Tea was egg fried rice with mushrooms and wild garlic, with a wild garlic tofu fillet. As I have a cold I thought I’d make a warming turmeric latte to accompany it.
Your tea sounds nice @Heavenlyannie and I like the sound of a turmeric latte. We had flatbreads with salad and home made humous, with the vegan sausages left over from lunch.
Cold and a bit blustrous in West Lothian; but if there was rain (and there probably was), I managed to miss it.
Quite a steadily busy day, followed by fishcakes and veggies for supper.
I must remember to drop in to the Four Marys on the way home from work tomorrow; I'm meeting an old school friend there for lunch on Sunday, and booking a table would be a good plan.
I am sure that's a good plan. Once upon a time when I was back working in Scotland and a friend was the minister at the big kirk, the occasional Sunday lunch at The Four Marys followed fairly soon after the benediction.
No hail here in the Wilds of Wiltshire, but a lot of chilly wind and some rain.
This afternoon we met up with some people who live in one of the nearby towns (Mr Nen knows them from his youth group, some decades ago) and whose church we attended last Sunday. We had a very wholesome catch up with them over coffee and I rather hope there might be a friendship there going forwards. The house group we went to yesterday evening is definitely not going to be the group for us; in a way it's good to know that so definitely.
We are off to see Nenlet1 and the GrandNenling tomorrow; really looking forward to that.
Unplanned short visits from first my daughter then my son today. Daughter chatted, caught up with emails as her wifi at home is down, then did 20 mins gardening. It was blowing a hoolie at the front but the back was sheltered, though a sudden hailstorm interrupted the sunshine.
My son sorted my doorbell problems. I am so fortunate to have them around to support me even if they can spare only a little time.
Later came torrential rain, so I was glad of lifts to and from Scrabble. I won both games today, including a seven letter word! Instead of the usual spag bol I had a ready meal ( a lamb casserole which was quite ok) which saved me time before choir this evening.
Yesterday was a special day, marking as it did another trip around our local star relative to the average motion of the local part of the Galaxy since I was unceremoniously squeezed out of the reproduction system of another of my species.
Got a pizza in and went to the pub. It was pissing down on the way there but we'd sort of dried out by the time we got back.
A new bottle of single malt now inhabits the booze cupboard, I have some Interesting Cheese, some guitar related kit I won't boor you with, and I took the week off.
Unbelievably for me I was out early at 7.30 this morning to put a birthday card in the post, not just before the 9 am collection, but to be back before a Royal Mail delivery due from 8.20- 9.20. It arrived at 8.40am.
Lots of jobs to catch up with today, then church choir practice this evening at 6.30, so I will cook at lunch time.
We never know the medium until we get there, but it's always fun.
Aha - a "happy medium"!
Went swimming and shopping early, had breakfast - then (to my shame) dropped off to sleep for 20 minutes or so! Dry and sunshiny so far, but very windy yesterday, with a bit of sleet.

I'm sure the other of your species remembers it well!
My son's birthdays bring back all the squeezing out! Imagine pooing a football and you have it.
Today I'm beginning to rejoin the human race after feeling pretty yucky due to a festering nerve in my tooth, now gone. The nerve not the tooth.
Art group today. We never know the medium until we get there, but it's always fun.

I very much doubt it since I scattered her into the River Wharf nearly ten years ago.
Wherever she is now, I'm sure she remembers it 🙂
I received a note to say it had been despatched about an hour later.
It popped through the door at 11am today (Royal Mail), simultaneously with me receiving an email saying it was out for delivery.
I think that's impressive.
How many people did it take to change a lightbulb? 😄💡
