A Long Lunch With Friends

Went to Prezzo with Hannah and Sarah for lunch today.  We had a really long, fun lunch full of laughter. Crip humour and time spent with people who totally get it with no explaining FTW. Plus the staff had coped really well with the idea of three wheelie girls all out together with no carers. Unusual (the restaurant staff coping, not the lack of carers).

I had water and then some apple and blackcurrant squash before I left.

Then there I had two bottles of Sprite (I love those little glass bottles of Sprite, didn't know they did them before I went there the first time, so cool) and a glass of water.

To eat I had garlic bread with mozzarella.  And a Tre Gusti pizza which has chicken, pepperoni and bacon on it.

Here's a pic of us wheelie girlies at lunch

I've had several things of squash since I got home and I'm just about to go find some form of sandwich or similar (maybe dairylea on toast?) for some very late tea.

Brilliant day today.  Really hope to get together with those girls again soon.

Buy One, Get Two Free

Days worth of food blogging that is... not sure what happened yesterday which meant I didn't get here but Wednesday I didn't really seem to stop much and whenever I did I had other stuff I needed to go on the computer.

Wednesday

I had a sausage and bacon baguette.  Quite a lot of cranberry and raspberry squash, some water.  I ended up with spam sandwiches for tea which whilst yummy are 1) not very healthy and 2) not particularly suitable as a tea type meal.  I forgot to go and by what I wanted to have for tea and thought I didn't have time to go back into town and grab it.  The way things went my evening plans didn't come off as anticipated so I could have done.  I went to cornerstone in the evening where I had some appletise and did some writing (my mate forgot she was supposed to come meet me and I managed to leave the house without picking up my phone...) then when I got home I had some shortbread.

Thursday

I had one glass of cranberry and raspberry squash. Lots and lots of water - I think 4 pints? spaced throughout the day.  For lunch I had corned beef on crackers and three bits of shortbread.  In the evening I went to a CAB summer social - a BBQ with ferret racing. Apple juice to drink - 3 125ml wine glasses of it I think.  To eat I had a burger in a roll, a piece of chicken, two sausages in one roll and a few crisps.  Later I had I think 3 tiny flapjack bites and 3 bits of shortbread for pudding.  This was a major win for me because the person who went to the pudding table for me put a few bits I hadn't asked for in my bowl too (why do people do that?! I don't get it....) including some chocolate which looked like milk and white chocolate mixed together... and if you know how much I love kinder chocolate (which this wasn't) you'll know how tempting it was for me but I passed it on to someone else.  When I got home I had a glass of milk to take my "with or after food" meds with.  I'm not convinced that works great but it did better than when I took it with just water on Monday and felt rubbish after....

Friday (Today!)

Today I've had 3 mugs of water (don't know why I'm drinking out of a mug rather than a pint glass like usual but I am) so far and a sausage and bacon baguette - my lunch with a friend got cancelled and I couldn't resist when I was in town.

I really need to get my eating back on track again....

20:58

Have had several more things of water which I've been enjoying a lot.  I played on just dance 2 for 25 minutes so I got some exercise which I also enjoyed.

For tea I had jackets with cheese and diet lemonade to drink. Comfort food after a bit of a crying spell.

Later

more diet lemonade and 4 bits of shortbread (I was going to have 3 but that would have left one all on it's lonesome in the packet which obviously wouldn't do.)

A Summer's Picnic

(and the rest of the days eating too.)

My sister and I went over to Millet's Farm Centre today.  We had a long wander around and also took a picnic with us.  I slept late and got up only half an hour before we left so again had no breakfast, just started the day with a glass of squash.

I didn't have anything in for a sandwich (somehow I'd ended up with barely enough sandwich stuff left for half a sandwich) so I took water, raisins, and cereal and planned to buy something there.  I was very tempted by some pork pie but they looked like they were 1) a bit big and 2) would be difficult to eat with just my hands.  So I got a sausage roll and a piece of shortbread to have along with my raisins and water.  I didn't eat the cereal after all.  I treated Sophie to a sausage roll and a cupcake too.

I also got some peppers, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms in the farm shop before we left.  I didn't buy any plants although I was tempted.  I figured it was better to wait until I get my garden sorted out and actually by what I need.

We went for a wander around the out of town shopping area after we went to Millets, mostly looking for a new bed for me and getting stuff for Soph's rabbit.  We popped into the big tescos there and I got a very cheap nail varnish, a sun hat and a necklace and matching earrings as well as a few small bits of food.  I seem to have once again forgotten to buy any dairylea or similar though.

I drank my entire bottle of water (I took my refillable one which I think holds 600ml), a bit of Sophie's water and then bought a 500ml bottle in Tesco which I finished once I was home.  We were out for much longer than I thought we would be and it was hot! Plus, I did all the wheeling myself apart from a little bit up hill on gravel which S and I did between us.

When I got home I discovered that I had my period which totally explained why I was struggling emotionally yesterday.  That meant I needed to start taking my mefenamic acid and as that's with or after food (as it's an NSAID) so I had to tiny bit of sandwich chicken that was left.

I had jacket potatoes with cheese for dinner (that's one of my favourite meals) and I've had two pints of squash.  I need to go grab another drink in a minute.
