🥪 Vintage cheddar, thick-cut chorizo sausage & caramelised onion toastie. 🤤 When I've finished washing that down with this tea, I think I'll grab a pumpkin-spice latte and see about getting words done. 🎃 ☕️ 📖 ✍️

It's Sudoku Sunday! Continuing through the Level 2 puzzles we've reached No. 15, which is a triangular number because it can be represented as a triangle with equal sides.#Sudoku #Sunday #Blind

Pretty good progress on my daily goals. I didn’t get to read, write or look at my email, but I did have to deal with switching energy suppliers today. I’m pleased I managed to squeeze in some exercise.

It's Sudoku Sunday! Each week I reward myself with a new puzzle to clip into my journal, and here we have lucky 13! It's a level 2, so shouldn't take me too long to solve.

A slow start today. The baby woke me up in the middle of the night and then we were making breakfast burritos! I'm 2 coffees in now, though, and ready to conquer Saturday!

Are cucumbers called so because they are long and cue-like? This summer will I be discovered "chalking" the tip of one with a raspberry and using it to send tomatoes scattering across my lawn?

Does anyone, like me, wish they could edit other people's text messages? Sometimes they come in so poorly spelt and grammatically mangled that I can't turn the dial on my brain low enough to comprehend them. It's like ants crawling under my skin , I swear.

Sat here scratching my head wondering where my chicken korma recipe is, and then suddenly remembered I wrote it down in the middle of my #NaNoWriMo '23 Scrivener project! Time to make a "Recipe Book" project and move it across I suppose.

I'm reading over my 2023 journal, and whilst I accomplished a lot of my goals and made progress towards the bigger ones - there is a lot that went wrong in 2023. if the year hadn't ended willingly on 31/Dec I might've hit it over the head with a shovel and buried it in a ditch.

Dear Father Christmas,
This year, all I want under my tree is the still warm and dripping hearts of the contractors that have been messing be around all year regarding my dining room extension and solar panels. No bow or wrapping required, but a knife and fork would be lovely.

Now that has got to be counted as a spurious reason for categorising things! I used to like having a Blue Ribband with a cuppa, and then I discovered Caramel Wafer Biscuits *drool*
Yes I know it has biscuit in the name. Muddying the waters here!
