Here's to the weekend.

Saturday 9th October 2021

Take time to do what makes your soul happy.

Looking forward to the huddle this morning, catching up with everyone, it's a great way to start the weekend.  I didn't blog yesterday, I had a lie in instead and a tech free / work free Friday.

Instead I took Alfie to the vets for his health check and annual vaccinations, found out it's going to cost me a fortune to take him to Ireland, he'll need a rabies shot £75 and a pet certificate about £150!  The certificate has to be redone every time you go out the country too - boo!  

Once we'd done there, we went to Chase Water for a walk round, was really impressed he made it the whole way round too.  Seeing the red deer was awesome especially the stag keeping is eye on is family, such beautiful creatures.  

Food wise, had a sneaky Indian takeaway Thursday night but I opted for Tandoori chicken and a sheesh, plus shared the rice and naan so not too bad.  Then yesterday I declined a bacon and mushroom sandwich for breakfast, that was a win right there.  However on the way back from the chase we stopped at the garage and I did something I never do!  I bought chocolate!  I spotted creamy peanut butter snickers - oh my days!  70p, but then I spotted 3 for £1.20, and I fell for it. 

They were so good though and the only upside was I shared them so halved the calories and I hadn't had the sarnie :) 

The rest of the day wasn't too bad, stew and two slices of bread and butter - nice.  Plus I did have my wine, hey ho, there's always tomorrow.  I've got chicken thighs to make my 40 cloves of garlic chicken recipe and a joint of pork for a roast dinner with lots of veggies.  

Looking forward to hearing all about Elle's trip to the theatre, it's wonderful to see some normality coming in the world again.

Right I need to get ready for work, had my shower but sat here with soaking wet hair.  

Have a great weekend, enjoy yourself but remember it's not all about the food. 

mwah, luv ya 

Love me xx
