Easter Saturday

 If you didn't see yesterday's post it was a round up of the total costs of my month of eating meals mainly based on a limited range of supermarket Value/Essential products. It got me back cooking some things I'd not done for a while (like doing myself a roast chicken or toad-in-the-hole meal)  which I'll carry on with as well as eating my frozen batch made home made curries and pasta sauces. I shall be making pizza dough myself using the bread-maker now I know it freezes well after just 5 minutes in the oven. I'm also going to do a batch of the fish curry as that's different to the Thai-red and the squash/spinach curries that I usually make in bulk. Chicken thigh joint meat used as a stir-fry wasn't as good as chicken breast meat which is what I normally use and the value frozen mixed vegetables were too bland and tasteless to use again.

Thank you again to everyone who commented over the month.

 Easter Saturday and this is a first...............There are NO Easter eggs in the house! I stopped eating chocolate last summer when the weather was so hot and haven't started again so didn't bother with an Easter egg - even though it was my favourite sort of chocolate. 

So...........what have I been up to this week?...........well, the regular every-three-years mammogram last Saturday and dentist on Monday, so bits of me have been examined! Then bits of me got exercised at the Keep Moving Group, it's going well with two new people joining .

WI was interesting with a lady from the Charity Medical Detection Dogs coming to speak to us. They train dogs to detect disease and infections from samples in a lab and also train dogs to do medical assistance for people with things like Type 1 Diabetes who could be prone to problems during the night. Just so incredible how clever these dogs are. After the talk there was coffee and cakes of course and as it's my birthday month it was my turn for a Birthday Posy.

Next was an early drive over to the coast to pick up Eldest Granddaughter for a couple of days while youngest daughter was working. I think we did every craft suitable for a 6 year old that I could think of! And then a round  trip to take her home again.

Hoping for decent weather for the rest of Easter weekend although I've got nothing much planned apart from recovering from having Granddaughter here - she wakes up much earlier than I usually do! and preparing for arrival of Eldest Daughter and the Surrey Grandsons at the end of the week.  There are car-boot sales - if the weather is OK and an Art Exhibition to have a look at.

Have a good Easter Weekend, I'll be back Tuesday.
