Tonight. Meeting friends in town. They live in Newcastle and have come down for his moms birthday so we’re meeting them for something to eat before they carry on to Walsall. We’re then off to the Alex to see Murder in the Dark. It stars Tom Chambers (no I’ve never heard of him either) and Susie Blake Saturday. Off to Daventry to collect granddaughter before watching Bellingham score a hat trick for Sunderland 🙄. Then daughter in law is bringing youngest granddaughter over for her very first sleepover. I am mega excited about that. Hopefully a visit to the local park to feed the ducks and play on the swings if the weather stays dry Sunday. Breakfast. Playing. Lunch before d-in-law collects little one and we take the bigger one back home before crashing out on the sofa!!

Friday - Tea at Jean's (like Breakfast at Tiffany's, but with more chips) Tom and Elanor coming over for the first time in ages. Jayne's mate Clare is coming for a natter so the squids and I will no doubt play a game of something like Uno Twist (like Uno but with an evil side) until she's gone.
Saturday - shopping in Sainsbury's, then probably more shopping in Chester. I know Blues are on the telly, but I really don't know if I can be bothered. Low fat cheese pizzas in the evening and a fillum on the telly.
Sunday - Remembrance Service, though the last couple have had a two minute silence at quarter to eleven because the new vicar is an idiot, and this year the church is closed while some work is being carried out, so it'll probably be about half nine 🙄 Definitely a walk later on.

We've had steak with puttanesca sauce and chips tonight.
I'm hoping to go and see the Teigns play tomorrow afternoon, but we'll see.
Sarah starts her "white food" diet on Sunday, so it's a case of cook two different things or suffer the same white crap. Trouble is that diabetics aren't supposed to eat white crap.

Ooo what is the white food diet? Sara can only eat white food? In my head now I have an image of a chicken sandwich on Warburtons Toastie bread with rice in the side

Is it this, Will?
"A 'White Diet' is a simple low residue diet which is defined by eating foods or drinking beverages which are NOT brightly coloured. It is the eating of foods which are white or pale in colour ONLY."
That sounds dull as dishwater - I don't envy Sal that, especially given that she's married to a bloke who can cook, and cook well.

Basically it's avoiding wholemeal bread, pasta and brown rice, plus red meat and anything that's hard get rid of with pickolax. She's got to have a completely empty bowel by Wednesday 4.30pm. No seeds or nuts,no fruit or veg.

Ah ok. Horrid as it is at least it’s not a long term diet.
Hope her colonoscopy goes ok.

This year the service was indeed held outdoors because of the work going on in St Tudfil's. We'd foolishly assumed the service would be held at the church then we'd join the commemoration at the war memorial. Nope. The ENTIRE BL**DY SERVICE was at the war memorial. In the p*ssi*ng rain. With the longest hymns in Ancient & Modern. And the union flag was upside down but I was the only one geeky enough to notice. The poor cubs and brownies were perished. So were we. We were the first into the Carnegie Library for the free tea and coffee 😁
Having moaned about all that, it's still a small sacrifice in comparison.

Just googled Puttanesca sauce - is it quite salty? The recipe I just watched has capers, anchovies and MORE salt

I don't put extra salt in. The anchovies carry enough. Tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, basil and chillies (I add them after I've dished up Sarah's).
