They sometimes do coffee grounds at the coffee shops in roadside services, I was in Costa at Baldock services on the A1 recently and they had bags of the stuff if anybody wanted them if that's any use genn.
So can you still get stuff from Costas...I mean, are they open for takeaways? I know where there are a few Costas near me.They sometimes do coffee grounds at the coffee shops in roadside services, I was in Costa at Baldock services on the A1 recently and they had bags of the stuff if anybody wanted them if that's any use genn.

I have two Little Gems
I will try as well @DJC3
Next shopping trip I will see what other lettuces I can find!
I will post my salad experiments (and any other free garden survival food) just on a weekend, either Saturday or Sunday and then you can look particularly of a weekend if you want to find them.
6.5
Yesterday I had Greek yoghurt with keto muesli but I had run out of cream so no splash of cream to add. It is bitter to me without so i didn't finish it all. Small ham and salami salad for lunch and low carb moussaka for dinner. Watched our Queenie's speech. Admirable woman. Wonderful speech. Then our favourite George Michael tribute, Rob Lamberti, was giving a concert on Facebook. 2 large glasses of wine and peanuts accompanied him. And a piece of son's chocolate and nut bar. Thought it would up my blood sugars but it didn't according to my libre, probably down to the red wine!
More painting today. Outdoors. Forecast better than yesterday.
Hope our Boris is OK. He has been hospitalised. Par for course with the CV 19 where fever doesn't subside apparently. Hope he is going to be OK.
Attached something to make our forum cat lovers smile.
I think quite a few of us are having ‘what the hell’ moments....3 chunky chocolate biscuits were my sin yesterday...
I do have a very tiny chocolate Lindt Easter bunny. One gulp would finish it. That will wait until Easter.
Morning All. 5.5 this sunny Palm Sunday morning. Jobs for this morning climb on a chair and clean the cooker hood. Then onto weeding until it gets too warm, then on to a garden chair and a book. Grateful to be well, grateful to have an outside space.
@gennepher thanks for the colourful art and intrigued by whats to come! Hope Popeye continues to heal. @Debandez sorry to hear your news, hope they both recover. For those still not taking this seriously its only when its someone close to them the penny will drop. @OldButBold good to see you checking in and progress seems to be made. Take it very easy. Like you all are I miss seeing my boys and my new grandkitten will be quite grown up when I PG get to meet her. Eldest son isolated alone in Dublin so vey lonely for a young man. But we have a lot to be thankful for, so much, actually.
Try and enjoy Sunday. Stay/get well, stay safe, always.
I think that eating it in 3 days was quite restrained. I think that yesterday l might have managed it in just one day.IIm the same with the ‘What the hell’ attitude, and like you with the Montezuma’s. I’ve eaten a whole 200g Absolute Black Easter Egg in 3 days. Can’t believe I actually opened it now, rather than waiting until Easter, let alone ate it all!
Will be really interested to know how big it does grow.It’s really surprising isn’t it? Not sure it’ll ever be enough for a whole salad though.
Challenging times for many but especially for this fisherman. His business has fallen off a cliffedge. Picked himself up, dusted himself off and came back fighting only to be knocked down again. Hope he survived. His resilience is commendable. Enjoy the fresh fish. It will taste all the better knowing the journey behind it arriving on your plate.Morning all 5.1 by the time I remembered to do it. A busy morning already as I woke late - poor Dennis crossing all his legs waiting to go out! Popped his lead on, opened the front door and his collar broke so he was off, rejoicing in his freedom. Got him back quite quickly ( recall is improving, good boy) Off up the lane and came across his pal Ralphie, a beautiful silver mini Scnauzer who had skipped out of his front door too. Recall was impossible once he’d spotted Dennis and we had to let the dogs greet each other until Ralphie’s dad could call him away. Dogs simply don’t understand social distancing.
Once home I had a delivery of fish. A local fisherman (whose business is in jeopardy as the market he sells at has had to close) offered on the village Facebook page to go out in his boat and deliver direct to houses. Yes please! It all went horribly wrong last week when his nets caught a WW2 parachute mine and he had to tow it into the Solent shallows for the coast guards. It was made safe which involved blowing it and his net up. Poor bloke what a loss. Well he managed to get out again this week and has delivered a 10kg box of the freshest fish to my doorstep this morning.
Mr C’s boyhood summers spent helping at his uncles fish and chip shop in Scarborough will be good experience as he knows how to clean, gut and fillet fish thank goodness. -that’s his afternoon sorted.
Some great fbgs here today @Muddy Cyclist and @OldButBold deserve special mention ( and glad you slept well again OBB)
@Debanddez so sorry to hear of Eric’s boss, hugs to you all.
@gennepher I’m looking forward to your Chinese brush paintings. My dad bought me a set of brushes back from China when I was young but I never knew how to use them ( before YouTube etc in those days obviously)
Take care all
Ok. Thanks Trick.I think the ones on the A roads and motorways are still open, but only to pick up and takeaway, the coffee grounds at Baldock were by the counter and had a sign saying that you could take them.
Nice to see you aboutWell, 5.4 this morning and a temp of 36.0 so I'm more than good
The cough and breathlessness are still there but given my COPD etc I expect time to be the healer of that. I have a call booked with my doc today to update but I would expect to be let off the hook with his usual proviso of "if anything changes...".
Therefore I am going back to my normal self-isolating, anti-social fun guy lifestyle
In all seriousness, I am eternally grateful to my friends. Three doctors, two nurses, a paramedic and a policeman who took time out of being essential to the world at large to be essential in my small life. Yes, they are personal friends but I know how busy they are right now and the personal traumas they have all set aside. Thanks to folk here and on other forums that have been supportive and caring, it helps a lot
I've been very lucky, should have got some lottery tickets
