In complete contrast with last week I update you from a hospital bed π€£
Don't think it's too serious got put on antibiotics at the start of the week and when they did a followup line go up. Sadly it was supposed to go down.
The last 4 weeks have been a roller coaster
Well, bollocks. Stress induced already eh? Reading anything good at least?
I hope not it's not been announced yet π€£
I was watching netflix but randomly 10 hours into the series I was watching it decided I was on a proxy and it didn't like that.

Sounds like a busy weekend!!
I've been buying leeks and carrots for weeks, threatening to make lentil soup but i never get round to it so chuck the stuff out!!! I hate waste!!!
Any good (easy/quick) soup recipes, please share!!
Leeks, washed and 1cm chopped. Tatties, peeled and 2cm cubed. Maybe 4 medium tatties to 1 big leek. Stock cubes/pots about 1 per leek, preferably chicken or veg. Half a 1cm diced carrot per leek is optional, but I like it. Boil for 20, stick blend after. Salt, pepper to finish, serve with a dollop of sour cream and scallions on top, or a drizzle of cheffy oil with french stick and plenty of butter
If you're feeling bold though. French Onion soup - Deliah Smith's is delightful with the beefy base and cheesey gruyere croutons https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/international/european/french/french-onion-soup
Or Dodie McMuckie's cullen skink is fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB4YQUy4I0w
Or maw Broons' cookbook my ither go to. She's a fine lentil and a couple of broths in there. Hopefully inspiration for you!
I am so knackered! Stressing for local authority visit, working late, then not sleeping right!! Hate it!!!
Was at my home town flower show tonight. Not as much as usual due to the crap weather this year, but good to see the support is still there!
Going to a barbecue tomorrow afternoon (weather permitting) and my cousins coming down with a wedding gift for us and in between planning/work!!
Working late and stressing obviously not working then. Make sure you're plan is sound, cut it as much as you can, and then finish bloody early as I'll bet you're well past that stage already. Teachers get in such a tizzy but the LA isn't there on a witch hunt! And if you are short anywhere, remember it's your head's issue and not yours
And aye, weather's been far too wet this year, my poor plum tree gave a bumper crop last year, and only about 20 this year :( apples looking better thankfully. Best of luck with the bbq, and my top tip: no burgers on the bbq, be more creative
