My life revolves around a daily walk and food so forgive me!

Here is my lunch: mashed avocado with lime juice & chilli flakes, strong cheddar, on a toasted sandwich thin spread with Dijon mustard, and slow-roasted tomatoes; plus rocket & beetroot.

I'm now thinking about dinner

A cup of Bovril and two cheese biscuits. This constitutes a veritable feast ‘oop North tha’ knows! When the jar is empty we use it to drink our bathtub gin out of.

Husband still works part time so lunch is our main meal.
Today was celery soup followed by medium rare steak, salad and sauté potatoes. Yummy.

My own leek and potato soup with a ham sandwich. Two chocolates and a cup of tea.

Most days my linch revolves round eggs. so....either two softly boiled eggs, with Nimble bread, or half a tin of low sugar, etc Baked beans on slice of toasted Nimble with two poached eggs on top, or.....scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. ALWAYS, ALWAYS accompanied by a very large mug of tea. Occasionally, I just have sardines on toast as a change.

Yesterday it was a slice of leftover quiche made for previous evening dinner plus a hot crossed bun and a cup of tea. Today............only just had breakfast so not a clue at present.

Mine was later than usual with entertaining D for most of the day, but I had braising steak " doing " in the oven with carrots and an onion so all I had to do was mash a few potatoes and boil some spring cabbage so that's what I had, and a pear grin

My lunch today will be cottage cheese and king prawns. My main meal is in the evening.
