Husbands cream is cortisone and its doing no good at all. I don't really want to take anything if I can help it, the last time the piriton made me all woozy but I did need it after the horsefly bites. These are probably midges but could be spider.
Slept in lovely clean sun dried bed linen last night.
Had a nice day yesterday. Husband and Oscar went to wash the car and I brought daughter to Tesco to see what bargains we could get as it was a special clubcard celebration. Well we didn't need a TV, a microwave, a kettle, a trampoline,1L spirits or slabs of beer so we got mayonnaise, cereal and Pringles and won a packet of Tayto each. Went home and we all had lunch. I said I needed to go in to rest, husband was going out and daughter needed to lie down but Oscar wanted to stay in the garden. So I ended being a big blanket out and me and Oscar sat in the garden and read lots of books together. He loves The Whale and the Snail and it now appears to be my job to read to him. We also pottered in and out washing dishes and doing laundry. And I have some still boxed wooden dolls house furniture that we take out sometimes and he uses his finger puppets as "babies". Anyway, we ended up playing for over five hours and his Mammy slept all that time, she needed a rest.
Food wise while I had some bad things I also had some good things. Porridge and peach smoothie for breakfast and no second breakfast. For lunch I made chilled green soup, into Nutribullet I put baby spinach, cucumber, frozen peas, mint, water and a splash white wine vinegar...and voila that's it. A really healthy and tasty chilled summer soup. Though I did have it with cranberry and sunflower seed sourdough ( also a Tesco special) buttered, 3 slices luncheon meat and some Pringles. Washed down with a glass of no sugar Tesco elderflower tonic water. Dinner then I made a lovely salad and have enough for today and hopefully tomorrows lunches. Cooked some new potatoes and some brocolli florets lightly. The in a non stick pan I toasted sunflower seeds and dry fried some sweet red pepper. Take these from the pan and added some curry paste, thickly sliced the cooked potato into this and tossed for a minute or two...I thinned the curry paste out with some light olive oil. And that's it, stir the curried potato, cooked broccoli, grilled peppers and sunflower seeds together. Thus was dinner with tempura broccoli and some tempura sea bass that I made and also sprinkled with sesame seeds. Yep, Tesco also had a special.on seabass so husband had two fillets grilled and I'm not a fish lover but tried to force myself to eat it.
The overall day also had 4 squares chocolate, 3 glasses wine and one pack Tayto and no actual exercise.
