Sunday

Shredded wheat for breakfast, just one with hot water a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of milk just enough to keep me going for the first part of the day, Walk the dogs and feed the horses. One of the horses is still stabled at night so I have to muck out and fill a hay net ready for the evening. The rest of the horses are not stabled so just need a change of rug, hay, feed and field clearing. If anyone is interested I plan to start another blog dedicated to all things horsy in my day.
For lunch it had to be toast, as the last of the bread was not as fresh as it could have been. but as I refuse to waste anything if I can help it, toasting the bread makes it quite edible. As we had not had any oily fish for quite a few days I had the toast spread with sardines in tomato sauce, followed by yet another hot cross bun.
Dinner. I had planned to start with a salad, but then remembered that I had bought two cantaloupe melons and as one of them is now ripe that served as a starter, just sprinkled with a little sea salt. For the main dinner we had boiled rice, pork with ginger, red pepper spring onion, and fennel. Served with stir fried vegetables, green pepper, onions garlic, ginger, mushrooms, carrots and cauliflower.
Well plenty of vegetables today if a bit light on the fruit. Also had a few peanuts and a gin and tonic.

Tuesday 3rd of April

Monday was sandwiches for lunch, then leftover Chinese. Steve's brother Nigel made a flying visit, literally, arriving after dinner on Sunday then leaving first thing Monday. As we had already eaten he bought himself some food from the local Chinese takeaway. It's only about 30 metre away as the crow flies, a bit further on foot. Too temptingly close for my waistline, or pocket.
Anyway he ended up with too much food and left some in the fridge, which went very nicely with some fresh vegetables, stir-fried, and more chinese from the freezer.
Finished up yesterday's trifle for dessert.
