Hello everyone, and welcome to today's Daily Diary.
For anyone new to the Daily Diary (DD), this is the place where we come to share our meal plans for the day, plus any any exercise intentions.
Including the specifics of plans we are following, such as calorie counting based on BMI ranges, low carb, dairy free etc helps you to link up with others who are following similar plans to share ideas, recipes tips and give support.
Remember though, we are not here in a professional capacity, so advice is given in the spirit of constructive support.
As well as being part of a supportive community, thinking ahead, and sharing your menu and exercise aims really does help you stick to them.
To keep the warm and supportive environment of the forum going, everyone is encouraged to comment on each others plans and achievements, however briefly. It's a great motivator and can provide reassurance for members that might be struggling.
Speaking of someone struggling with his own motivation, let me introduce Alan, or "Big Al" as the vet now calls him. I took Al for his annual vaccinations today, and it seems he's become even more portly during the last 12 months. This is him making sure he stretches properly before he does a bit of Pilates.
As for me, I'm following the NHS weight loss plan which works out your calories based on BMI and activity level. Shockingly, my calorie range goes down on Friday, simply because I turn 60!
For today, my plan is:
Breakfast: Greek yoghurt, apple and blueberries.
Dinner: Salad with goats cheese and pear
Tea: Aubergine curry with rice
I'm back on track with "in my kitchen" daily online workouts, plus panic cleaning today as Eldest and her boyfriend, Human Michael, who I have never met, arrive for my birthday weekend! (NB We have to distinguish him as Human Michael because I have a cat called Michael).
I'm looking forward to hearing about what you're all planning!

I share your dismay about calorie allowance shrinking as we get older 😬
Tomorrow’s plan is similar to today
Breakfast of egg, spinach and griddled tomato
Lunch is a large salad bowl with a slice of granary bread
Dinner is a tomato based pasta sauce with the rest of the Heck Italian sausages . . . I may have a small portion of pasta but will also have courgette and cabbage
Hoping to stick to the lower end of my 1200-1500 target
Good morning Indigo, I'm sorry I didn't manage to reply last night, I looked up your Heck's sausages then I dropped off. I'm in Italy and I'd never heard of them. I'm lucky as I buy S's from the butcher's and they are 100% pork. I hope you enjoyed your breakfast, egg and spinach go so well together don't they?
I buy my local butcher's home made pork sausages which are also very meaty. Since then, even the best of commercial sausages don't come up to scratch for me. I have tried Hecks but they don't compare to my butcher's ones. I used to love the Black Farmer brand of sausages but, again, not since I've been buying from my local butcher. However, as with anything, it's individual taste that counts. Enjoy your evening.
Hello all, Thank you for opening nice and early to host, Grigid , so we can plan ahead 😊😊 Lovely aubergine curry. Hope your NHS weight loss plan is going well. I started that way myself, but went down the low carb road trying to reduce blood sugar and this has been sucessful. Today I have had a large chicken salad with h/m mayo and I am still full. Dare I risk an OMAD( one meal a day), maybe too soon to say. For tomorrow
B Black tea
L Fish and vegetable bake, coconut oil and milk. Decaff coffee and cream
D if hungry, more of lunch/ Chamomile tea
Walked five miles today, so more of the same. Tai chi. All the best for Wednesday! x
Your overall loss is amazing!I've been doing well on the NHS plan, but have plateaued recently (I think it's more to do with less exercise than the diet not working), but I may make some tweaks in the near future.
Heh Bee, Hope you are well. Got to 8pm and had to eat. I am off on hols on Fri so don't mind that it's not a rollercoaster way of eating. Have a great Wednesday! x
Hi Hopalong1 it's good to hear that you were still full after your lunch yesterday. I find HM mayo to be incredibly filling I try to dose it or I'll never get the scales moving, a little goes a long way. I wouldn't push for OMAD just go with the flow.
Thanks. I only made it to eight pm yesterday and got peckish for a ham salad. Scales were better today. Have had six grim weeks, not sleeping well, as I said last week. Last couple of days have improved. Trying a bit of moreless philosophy, eat when hungry xx
It really depends on the brand. The quorn ones have recently changed their recipe and are now actually edible! The flavoured Linda McCartney ones are ok too.
Good evening Grigid, Big Al and fellow DD doers. Thanks for having us. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for your B day W/E. There's going to be some confusion with the 2 Michaels.
I like the sound of your aubergine curry I may give it a go next time I have all the ingredients. At the mo I'm out of apples.
I'm following LCHEALTHYF well unless I get invited out. At the mo I'm holding on tight to my ticket to the 89s. As I was out for dinner on Sunday and I really enjoyed a huge plate of tagliolini with truffles along with other goodies, I've been very strict with myself. No alcohol , no snacking and watching portion sizes.
B: Stewed prunes+a small dollop of Greek yogurt. A small☕.
L: HM Mackerel pate on cucumber bites.
D: Courgetti with butter and grated Parmigiano.
Drinks water with🍋. Exercise a trip around the farmers market for some ricotta.
I like the sound of the mackerel pate. Do you use smoked mackerel or freshly cooked? I used to make a lovely smoked mackerel version but, due to the meds I'm on, anything smoked makes me feel nauseous now. A recipe for unsmoked would be great. Enjoy your day.
Hi Drodie, I'm afraid that I use tinned mackerel. It's a very versatile recipe any cream cheese is great. Yesterday I found I didn't have enough mackerel, I'd already started the jar so I added 3 sardines, It was delicious anyway just a little more "fishy".
Many thanks. I have just looked up the recipe you gave a link for. If it works with tinned mackerel then there is no reason why my original recipe wouldn't work with tinned or even unsmoked cooked fillets.
Quite right Drodie, I think the thing about recipes is that they should be versatile. If we like the ingredients we should also like the finished product. Unless it's baking in which case recipes need to be followed
Thanks Bee-bop. I've decided that tomorrow's weigh in will be a success. I'm not hungry anyway because of the heat so eating a little less is fine. I've even dropped the square of choc. for these 3 days!
Hi Tabby, good luck with Tomorrows weigh in, I haven't been able to make it recently because I haven't been weighing on a Thursday. you have a stronger resolve than me if you can drop your dark chocolate! 🤞 for a loss tomorrow
Oh Bee-bop I think you're one of the strongest, I definitely couldn't have managed the whole of lockdown armed with just a tape measure. Just look at you now, in the "elite" maintainers
I LOVE your cat. He looks just like my late baby Max, whose name I stole. LOL.I am having to search my brain for a menu for tomorrow.I am training for a new job and my current hours are weird. That,however, is another story,lol.
I am on the NASH diet, but considering LCHF. I think LCHF has too much fat for me but maybe if I modify it.
Brunch-Tuna with boiled egg, apple and green onion,coffee w/2%milk
Hi Maxy6 , how great to keep your Max's name going 😸
I'm wondering whether to lower my carbs to get over my plateau (although a bit more exercise could do that). Let us know how you get on if you do swap your plan, and I hope the training is over and done with soon
Weird work hours can play havoc with menu plans. I sometimes get stuck about what to eat a lot of the time and I'm retired. The chicken dinner is a good option though. LCHF can be modified - just swap the fat for lean protein of your choice. Have a great day.
Good evening Grigid and thanks for hosting. I'm loving Alan and I'm chuckling at the thought of both human and cat arriving in the kitchen when shouted!!!Even allowing for the birthday cake, I was under 100g carbs for the day and I'm very pleased about that.
Tomorrow I have a day off with nothing other than a 6k run and some housework. . The dog is a lot brighter today so I will take him out for a gentle walk.
plan for tomorrow is; 6k run
Late breakfast: peaches slices, blueberries and greek yoghurt and sunflower seeds
It's good to hear that your dog is brighter today so enjoy that gentle walk. Have a lovely day off and keep an eye on that sausage casserole or my husband will be along to steal it. 😂
I sat and thought about not running in the drizzle ans then decided I had no proper reason not to run, so put my running gear on, went and bagged myself a PB for 5k of 36:24!! Glad I went now!!😊
Evening all, particularly Grigid and Big Al who looks a lot like our first moggy Jumbo from many years ago. Named when he was a tiny scrawny kitten but he grew into the name.
I've had another good day, 3 meals as planned and only a couple of extras plus 4 Active10s, most of which weren't walking but rather exercise bike and slow jogging round the house. Tomorrow is one of my walking groups. Walking always seems easier when you're in company having a good chat. Other than that
B FF yogurt/ mango/berries
L Spicy celery/lentil soup
D Battered fish / mushy peas
Still trying for NO SNACKS
E Walking group, yoga session and more slow jogging (I'm trying work up the nerve to start C25K).
Well done on a good day yesterday and battered fish for today is looking good. I did C25K years ago and it's pretty good. It's not too strenuous and is progressive so you build up over time. Good luck if you decide to go for it. Have a great day.
slipstick I like your menu for today especially your breakfast.
Good morning Grigid, thank you for hosting.
I'm still busily trying to sort out some new tech. There is one place left to try today and, if fruitless, I will just have to contact a local computer services business in the next village for advice. I have been trying to avoid that option because he's a grumpy old devil but is, at least, honest and reliable. I'll see how the day pans out!
B. 1 small slice low carb bread with fish fingers.
L. Strawberries and cream.
D. Either chicken salad or chicken with seasonal vegetables (weather dependent).
E. Laps with trekking poles. Physio exercises.
Following reduced carb and moderate fat.
Have yourself a wonderful birthday weekend with your daughter and her boyfriend and many happy returns to you.
Thanks to Tank_EG I have avoided that problem. Hopefully, there will be someone on the marina who can show me how to set it up. I have one person in mind and would rather offer to pay him than swell Mr Grumpy's coffers. If needs be, I can put a message out on the marina messaging group. Enjoy your day.
Ha! Immediate tech challenge sorted, thanks to Tank_EG. Someone on the marina should be able to show me how to set up the new Cloudbook. Enjoy your day.
all the best in tracking down a new laptop. I work in IT, though it is mainly on mainframes, but I do know a little about laptops. Please feel free to reach out if you want any advice and I'll try and answer any questions 😀
Your food looks great BTW and all the best with your exercise 👍
Oh gosh, Tank_EG. You could be a lifesaver! The advice I am after isn't anything really technical. A quick background - I'd used laptops for a number of years and when my old Acer (which had always been problematic) finally conked out I replaced it with the Tesco Hudl tablet. That lasted 7 or 8 years and was sufficient for my needs. When it gave up the ghost 3 years ago, I replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Tab E tablet.
Now the Samsung is on its last legs - it does get quite a lot of use - so I need something else. The downside of the tablet is that there is no port for a card reader for photos taken with my camera and I want to be able to look at those photos, otherwise the tablet has done pretty much everything else I need. I would like one with a keyboard because I can type very fast and bore people quicker! I can use a desktop computer at the library if I need anything more involved. They also have a printing service where I can email something to them from, say, my tablet, they send me a code then I just pop in there and use the code to print my document. I rarely need to print anything anyway.
Currently, I use the tablet to read an online newspaper, browse the internet, send/receive emails and come onto this forum. I am planning to do a free online course with the Open University and, hopefully, later on do a short course in photography. As I live on a boat with limited space I would prefer something like a chromebook/notebook type with an 11.5 inch screen because that would sit on my little folding table with room to spare.
I never do any shopping or other financial transactions online. That is also making it difficult to get a new device. There is nowhere in my area that sells any devices except Argos and as it's a small branch they don't have much selection. Because I am classed as 'vulnerable' in connection with the covid situation I am trying to avoid busy towns such as Northampton or Rugby. I am also on a budget. The local Argos currently has in stock:
ASUS Chromebook with 11.5in screen. £179.99
HP Chromebook with 14in screen. Around £200.
I think there are a couple of others but need to get back on the website to check. On the basis of what I want to use it for, would a chromebook / notebook be suitable?
I've not had much experience with Chromebooks but there's no reason to believe it won't meet your needs. Let me take a look and see what I can find out especially if you are interested in using it for photography 👍
One of my 'last resorts' has just said they won't take telephone orders/payments from new customers! Anyway, to save you time and possible bother, I looked up on the internet regarding viewing photos on a chromebook and it is possible, (written instructions plus video tutorials) I just looked on the Argos website and they have an HP Stream Cloudbook in stock for £189.99 which appears to be what I am looking for. I am just about to go and get one! Many thanks for your help and I do agree that the chromebook /notebook will meet my needs. I will keep you updated. Have a good day.
A good choice but maybe also look at the ASUS E406 14in - again from Argos.
A bigger screen plus a year's subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal. You will probably need access to cloud storage due to the small amount fitted into the laptop.
Both HP and ASUS are good makes, the HP looks to have a new spec but the ASUS has a slightly larger screen.
Your advice has been invaluable. The ASUS e406 was one that I'd looked at but wasn't in stock at my local Argos. I think, deep down, I was leaning towards the smaller screen one simply because it will leave space on my table for other things - ashtray, drink, phone, notepad and pen, etc. It's still considerably bigger than the tablet.
So, I got the HP Stream Cloudbook. It does have 64gb internal storage but cloud storage will be something I can learn. I do enjoy learning new things. I probably won't be uploading many photos anyway, just viewing them from an SD card. The HP Cloudbook also has 1 year subscription to Microsoft Personal so I haven't lost out. It also has one added bonus - the only colour left in stock is a pale shell pink - which is a hubby repellent, thus guaranteeing he won't try to interfere with it!
Well done in making your choice, the smaller screen seems to be the better option by the sounds of it especially if it's hubby proof 🤣
There may be some online (cloud) storage that comes with the Microsoft Personal subscription - lookout for something called OneDrive I believe. It should integrate nicely with the laptop and just look like another folder 👍
Love your picture, and good luck with the cleaning . Im sure everything will be just fine for your daughter and boyfriend visiting.Here's hoping you enjoy your menu today too, and many more after the big B day !!! regardless of calories !
Today is the last day before the wee man goes back to nursery, so its last minute shopping for new wellies etc. Thank goodness he doesn't have to wear a uniform yet, he has shot up over the summer, and at footie last night it was suggested that he was in the wrong age group class . He is still only 4 despite needing the clothes for a 6 yr old ! I m sure he will stop at some point. 😅
I am trying to follow a LCHF plan, and todays menu looks lie
L - Scrambled egg & a little Smoked salmon
Dinner - H /M Fish pie but I wont have the mash topping, with green beans, carrots & Peas.
Awww, growth spurts are so expensive aren’t they? It’s why every kid in the class is in a uniform 2 sizes too big, and then we grow up and lo and behold we’re buying clothes 2 sizes too small to accommodate the anticipated shrinkage! 😂
My daughter was the opposite - she started school just before her 5th birthday in age 2-3 clothes but uniforms started at age 4-5 so drowned her. So I luckily didn't have many expensive growth spurts to contend with.
Thanks.We had to knock aubergine on the head for a while because Youngest got sick of it (funny that never happened with McDs?), anyway, it’s on the menu again so fingers crossed!😊
Ah, funny how the kids shape our menus, my youngest has gone off my coconut based curry but, funnily enough has gone off the vegan wheat free nuggets too 😂
Hi, how long have you followed wheat/dairy free. Your breakfast sounds good. Hope you are enjoying some sun. Went into York today, heaving. Came home for some water xx
Hi Hopalong it's 20 odd years I have been wheat and dairy free and there's been so many changes in the market in that time, much better now. It's rainy here 😂
I love York but, am not so happy with large crowds presently either. Hope you are having a good day 🙂
Morning all and thanks to Grigid for hosting today's DD - many happy returns for the weekend, here's to a wonderful family celebration 🎉
It was so good to see my work colleagues yesterday and to top it all the account manager picked up the tab for the food and drink 👍 The downside was I eat way too much so back on the straight and narrow - again 🤣
Win-win with the account manager picking up the tab and the get together being a success.
With all that running and walking Tilly you'll be on the straight, and definitely narrow in no time, if indeed you fell off that road in the first place.
Good morning Grigid . I hope Human Michael lives up to expectations and that you have a great time with your daughter. Love the sound of your curry.
Another busy work day planned so not starting until 9 to give myself a breather. I have blocked out time later to fill in an application form as I've decided after years of avoiding it to go for a promotion. As it civil service it's open competition and we are getting lots of applications for all of our jobs so I'm not sure I'll even get an interview. But if I don't try then I definitely won't get one.
I'm calorie counting, 1400-1800, 3meals, no snacks, reduced carbs,no alcohol
B. Greek yoghurt, nectarine
L. Watermelon & feta salad
D. Beef Teryaki, stir fried veg, small amount of noodles
I tend to approach it by looking at my 360 degree feedback i.e. what would my managers and students (clients/customers) say about me? That helps to get me started
Good for you going for the promotion, we spend too much time mulling over whether we are good enough, when all we're lacking is a bit of self confidence (I heard the art of getting what you want called "oiling" recently). If you don't get an interview well it's their loss.
Your menu sounds great, enjoy your day and I'll give a full report on how Human Michael has measured up after the weekend. If only he knew he was famous on DD 😂
Great. Hope he enjoys cooking them and you enjoy eating them. The recipes are quite interesting. Some I don't like as I don't much care for things like celeriac. However, pretty much everything else looks ok.
I cook at home. We both eat what I cook and my husband doesn't criticise !
I was inspired to do the Fast800 diet because the meals/recipes looked nice (and they are) to eat and straight forward to prepare.
Oh - Other half . Its what I call my partner (usually I use his name but not online) - we aren't married and we are both too old to call him a boyfriend.
I just borrowed the Fast 800 recipe book from the library. So now I have 3 weeks to try out some of those interesting sounding meals that you keep posting. Thanks for the inspiration😊.
I'm not that strict about only having 800 calories per day. In fact, the MyFitnessPal that I update nags me if I have less than a thousand calories per day. So, I'd better have some high cocoa percentage value chocolate to make up the numbers !
I did get some advice from my Dr. before starting the diet. A blood pressure and blood test was also done. All good.
Morning Grigid and Alan. Hope you have a lovely birthday weekend.
So glad to be back into my usual sleep routine; reinstated my early morning brisk walk today and feel much more energised. Heading to the hairdressers for a trim this morning and hitting the books this afternoon in preparation for next week - trying out the Notability app on my new iPad too.
Breakfast was poached eggs and wilted spinach on granary toast; for lunch I’m having baked stuffed fig (goats cheese, sweated shallots and crushed pistachios) with salad; and dinner will be aubergine dhal with wholegrain basmati and a tomato and onion raita. Snacks: Raspberries with Greek yoghurt, and roasted red pepper and herby cream cheese roll ups.
I'm glad your sleeping pattern has corrected itself, it makes such a difference doesn't it? I'm at the hairdressers this afternoon too. It always feels like a miracle has taken place when I leave the salon.
It's great that your sleep pattern and therefore energy levels are sorted. Menu sounds good as usual. I recently tried an aubergine dhal recipe from the BBC Good Food website and it was fabulous.
Good morning fellow diarists and Grigid. Thanks to you and Big Al for hosting us today. Make sure he's helpful with those paws on the keypad/board 😂 Happy birthday for Friday, have a great celebration 💖. Loving your menu, that salad is right up my street and the curry sounds great. Enjoy x
Phew, yesterday was a long day but i managed to get everything done barr the hoovering so i've done that this morning. Hospital appt went ok. They have just about run out of ideas on how to get rid of the remaining stubborn psoriasis on my lower legs and feet. The specialist nurse is going to talk with my derm consultant and rheumatologist for any further ideas. In the meantime it's back to topical steroids and cling film wraps on a night!! 😂
Today is a packed morning to get things done before the electrician comes to do a full house electrical check. Apparently it takes a couple of hours!! Oh my life is exciting 😂😂 At least my day will be finished off by a lovely dog walk and drinks at the pub with my friend Claire 💖.
My LCHF TMAD plan is:
L: cauliflower, mushroom, peppers and cheese omelette
T: Stir fry chicken and veg followed by a chocolate chia seed pud.
Exercise: 1x physio rehab, hoovering. Am dog walk, puppy sitting, general pottering and evening dog walk. I might get half an hour on the mini bike while the electrician is here, not sure how hands on i have to be.
Its not so bad when its cool but if we ever get the summer back i'll struggle lol.
Blooming electrician cancelled at the last minute. Re booked for friday next week. At least i have a free afternoon now. Might go have a nice soak in the bath 😊.
Slight change with the omelette, diced courgette instead of cauliflower but still very yummy 💖
Walkies was another 'bog of eternal stench' disaster... 9 dogs to bath when we got home, took me over an hour to get them all clean and towel dry 😱 Eddie sitting was a doddle after that 😂😂.
Lol, my dogs seem to like licking the screen of my kindle or left hooking it with a paw if its near walkies time 😂😂
It was a bit disappointing but i half expected it tbh. They're going to consider a biopsy but its a last resort with psoriasis because of the risk of infection and non healing. Cling film isn't as bad as it sounds lol
I've had a reprieve, the electrician postponed to next week so i have a free afternoon now 😁.
It's good to hear that the various medical folks are going to talk to one another hoping to sort you out. Much as I love the NHS too often the docs stick to their own specialities and never consider the whole person.
Busy day as usual. Menu looks good though it wouldn't suit me. I like an omelette but caulis wouldn't be involved. There's nothing wrong with a good stir fry though.
Afternoon Slipstick, oh i know what you mean. Whether its lucky or not.. I see both, derm for my skin and rheumatology for related arthritis so the treatments overlap as do bloods monitoring. I dont think rheumatology have to jump through the same hoops as the derm does so treatment and changes happen quicker with their involvement 😊
It was busy but i now have a free afternoon as the electrician has postponed til next week. Cauliflower got substituted by courgette, i'd run out lol. Still yummy to me though 😁
Have u ever met with a nutrition expert of looked into Ayurvedic medicine for the psoriasis? I hope it gets managed soon 🙏🏼 All your food today sounds delish chia pudding sounds especially yum ! Enjoy the pub 😀
Hi CTink, how are you doing? Do you belong to a weigh-in? We have a pinch of nom book. I am drinking Chamomile tea as a sleep cure. Seems to be working. Happy Wednesday x
Hi Hopalong1 I’m doing quite well. My weigh in day is Friday, and I lost 6lb the first week, put 2lb on the 2nd week, then lost 4lb the 3rd week. I love lots of the recipes in the pinch of nom books. Glad to hear the Camomile tea is helping you sleep. X
What a lovely cat. We do spoil our furry friends but we do have to be careful with there diet also. I spoilt Roxie a bit too much. The vet was ok. Just said she was fine but don’t have her putting any more weight on. Thank you for hosting Grigid I like your food. My breakfast is the same as you.
My meals for Wednesday are
First thing coffee or 2.
Breakfast Greek yogurt with raspberries and blackberries.
Dinner. Fish with mixed veg.
Tea. Ryevita with soft cheese and blueberries with yogurt. 😊
Had walk this morning. Roxie hurt her paw she started limping. I cannot see anything. We came home she is now sleeping. I will have to keep a eye on it and see how she gets on. She is walking on it.
Nothing much planned for today. Have a good day. 😊
Oh dear, poor Roxie. Sleep, nature's remedy. Hope she is perky later. We had all the leftover veg (fridge surprise) and tuna, baked with cheese. It was a hit. Hope your fish is too. York was rammed today. Hope you are getting some sunshine today as are we. Have a good evening xx
Thankyou HappyBee. If no better tomorrow will go to the vets. 😊
O hope meeting Human Micheal is lovely And everyone has fun 🤩 That is some kinda wonderful menu Grigid - the salad sounds really nice and I love aubergine curry 🍛 yummmieeee!
I’ve managed 2 days of OMAD and have really enjoyed my evening meal and not needed to snack in the late evening (wow for me)
Reasons I love OMAD ❤️
- my evening meal is made so utterly scrumptious by the true need for food - hunger is the best sauce it really is true !!
- I seem to focus WAY more on quality and nutrition when I know it’s my only meal so I really do get a lot of colour and healthiness into one meal
- I’m so much more willing to put effort into my dinner so I am enjoying cooking more and being more effortful
-WHEN I STICK TO IT it really works for me and I feel my belly deflating really fast as the insulin breaks work their magic
- I never have to go to bed hungry like I do when I fast (not ruling out fasts but OMAD days have that advantage)
- I get so much more done in my day by focussing on stuff other than food!!
- my shopping bill decreases as breakfast lunch and snack foods just fall off the shopping list
-it’s painless !
Anyway let’s hope I stick to it as junk food has a way of clambering back in!!
Today’s meal is .. Malaysian laksa - kale, carrot, onion, peppers, sugar snaps and chillies in a spicy coconut laksa broth, and since I just found out I don’t have any cod i will bake one salmon fish cake and break it up at the end and add yayyyy. If I’m not full after if I’ll have some mixed salt and pepper nuts that I’m addicted to.
Today’s a little carbier than Mon and Tues But I’m happy enough with it as a whole !
Wow Hidden , hats off to you going for one meal a day. I always think I'd faint around mid afternoon if I tried it and would need to be brought round with sweet tea and a Twix.
Your meal does sound delicious, I have to say.
Yep, it's going to be interesting being a "two Michael" household this weekend 😂
Hello thank you for posting todays Daily Diary Grigid, Hope your birthday weekend with your eldest's new boyfriend goes to plan. Like the picture of your cat Michael very awkward he has same name as the new boyfriend.

Busy day with grandchildren and cleaning up after they leave but I am making the most of them they will soon be back at school and the house will be very quiet I will need some other gentle exercise then.
Hope everyone has a good day and your plans go well.
