What to Eat?

   Trying to decide what to have for dinner tonight. The family departed for their weekend at the trailer around lunch time and I hadn't made any plans for dinner.

   There's nothing in the freezer I fancy but have lots of veggies to use up before shopping tomorrow so it will probably be some sort of vegetable fry up. After a glass of wine it is really hard to work up any enthusiasm for cooking, especially when it's so hot (32C today).

   Holly the cat is being very well behaved today after trying to destroy my jigsaw puzzle yesterday. She obviously knows which side her bread is buttered on  as I will be feeding her for the next couple of days!

The Summer Runs

   Not feeling 100% today - runny tummy and loss of appetite. I just had yogurt for breakfast and a hard-boiled egg for lunch. I will eat a normal (but light) dinner and see how I feel tomorrow.

    I did manage to go to my exercise class as I was getting a bit of cabin fever, and stayed to work in the kitchen, serving coffee. The hot pies we sell made me a bit nauseous but I managed to make it through my 3-hour shift. Came home and had a nap followed by a swim - it's terribly hot and humid today and will be more of the same for the next few days - supposed to get up to 34C on Saturday!

    Forgot to say I did have a coffee and cookie after my exercise class as they are free when I work a shift - can't pass up a freebie!

Tennis at Wimbledon

   Thought I had better get a post in today or my followers (such as you are, not too many I think) in case you think I have "shaken off this mortal coil".

   It's been a busy week with the family here and my own usual activities. I won't go over everything but today I was out extremely early to help set up the "Wimbledon Brunch" at the tennis club. It was a great spread (all pot luck) ranging from home baked scones, muffins, croissants and cake to strawberries and cream. Also crackers, cheese, watermelon, cherries, soft drinks and, of course, lots of coffee on tap all morning. We played tennis, watched the Men's semifinal matches, played more tennis and chatted. We had a huge turnout, close to 60 people (as we usually do when there is free food on offer) and tons of food left over. People were going home with almost as much as they brought! 

   I was home by 12:30, had a swim, a nap and then spent almost an hour getting a new gas tank for the BBQ - several false starts before I finally found the best deal. Tonight I plan to barbecue some chicken souvlaki that I found in the freezer (probably Judy's) and will have it with salad and sweet potato. Then an early night, methinks!
