- Slowly waking up. I really needed that lie-in.
- Listening to the sound of rain lashing outside our bedroom window.
- Wondering why we’d waited until the weekend to enjoy a BBQ. Good old British weather!
- Heading downstairs for a cup of tea.
- Curling up on the sofa in front of Lilo & Stitch.
- Eating a toasted bagel for breakfast.
- Batch cooking for the freezer. Mr L.A. is off on a long work trip in a couple of weeks and I’m trying to be my future friend. We made sweet potato chilli and chickpea curry.
- Working on a little DIY. There are still a few niggly jobs left to finish off in the laundry room.
- Helping Izzy make a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
- Eating warm Linda McCartney sausage rolls for lunch.
- Sipping blood orange gin*.
- Making chilli tofu for dinner.
- Feeling as if I’d spent all day in the kitchen.
- Sending Jesse off to bed.
- Enjoying an episode of Queer Eye with Izzy.
- Making a start on Self-Made, a show inspired by the life of Madam C.J. Walker, the first female self-made millionaire.
- Laughing through a few episodes of Schitt’s Creek before collapsing into bed.
- Waking up far too early.
- Drinking lots of tea and watching Better Feed Phil. Jesse loves cooking shows and foodie TV.
- Deciding we would BBQ whatever the weather.
- Sending Carl off to Asda for supplies.
- Munching on sourdough toast and marmite for breakfast.
- Prepping salads {potato and everyday green}, assembling kebabs and marinading meat.
- Dodging rain showers while we grilled.
- Eating too much.
- Finding just enough room for a bowl of fresh stawberries and vegan squirty cream.
- Hanging up wet laundry.
- Watching Into the Unknown on Disney+ while Carl and Jesse played chess.
- Having a quick game of Throw Throw Burrito*. It’s so much fun!
- Looking forward to a long, hot soak in the tub with my new bath salts {a kind gift from my lovely client and friend, Becky Lord Design}.
- Wishing I didn’t have a meal plan and online grocery shop to complete before bed.
