"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

Usual breakfast, beef and noodles (I know, I know, but I seem to have got away with it by keeping moving) for lunch and salad with eggs and chicken liver pate for tea, with home grown pea shoots.

Not much progress but at least I kept moving around today. I planted some tomato seeds, just waiting for the other variety to arrive now. Tomorrow I must plant some more rocket, lettuce and pea shoots.
 
Breakfast: h/m sausages and fried eggs. Tea.
2nd meal has to be a small box of "pork in gravy" out of the little freezer in Neil's kitchen. Maybe more cabbage to go with it.

I've overdone it a bit already today: trying to sort out my bedroom still but it is slow going. There are bits to be thrown out, bits to go to a charity shop, things to go the DIL, if she wants them. She does a lot of sewing and I'm getting rid of much of my sewing stuff - can't use them any more. I'm keeping the sewing machines for Neil - he's perfectly capable of using them and may need to once I'm not here, so they are back in their cupboard but there are bits of fabric and bits of lace, ribbon and buttons as well as sewing tools, which DIL may want (even an old fashioned darning tool , shaped like a mushroom - anyone remember them from when we used to darn socks?) Really wore my arms and hands out stripping the lining from a set of faded curtains. The lining was still in perfect condition but the grey curtains had developed pink stripes. DIL may be able to use that to line some other curtains. Time to put my feet up and give my arms/hands some TLC.

Yes! We had one painted like a fly agaric mushroom in mum's old sewing box :hilarious:

Ouch, hope that recovers quickly.

I had the usual breakfast, beans and sausages for lunch and tea I think might be fish fingers with salad! I kept moving again today. I'm about to do that planting I promised I'd do today as well.
 
Usual breakfast, cheese omelette and salad for lunch, tea will be fish cakes and beans. I'm running late because I was up in the night and wide awake, so slept late, breakfast late, lunch late... tea will be in an hour or so.

I'm currently dismantling my old bed frame and hopefully putting up the new one or I'll be sleeping on the spare single bed tonight! This marks the start of my bedroom reset, which will most likely be done in small steps as energy allows.

Fingers crossed you get your new bed set up before bedtime.

It was a bit more of a struggle than I anticipated - I've put together a lot of stuff over the years but sometimes the instructions and process are quirky. I'm just making the bed up now, and then I need a nice shower. I think I might be hurting a bit tomorrow!
