Did you notice the name change?
The sun was out earlier, but now grey clouds have moved in and it’s raining. But lunch is in the oven – roast beef with roasted root vegetables – including more of my own-grown Pink Fir Apple potatoes.
These are quite small, but there are larger potatoes lurking just under the surface of the last three bags from last year. My idea of bringing them into the potting shed still in their compost has been successful for a second year. By the time I need the space for other things, they should be finished.
Also for lunch is home-grown greens – a mix of kale, curly kale and sprout tops. (No sprouts ever appeared.)
I don’t make New Year resolutions – and with the current state of affairs, they’d be broken in a week – but hopefully I will be able to get more use from my allotment bed.
As we’ve both been diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), me a few years ago and my husband recently (just before Christmas!!) so we’ll need even more salads, herbs, and vegetables.
Though we haven’t been out for our daily walk for weeks, we resurrected our old Wii-Fit and have been using that for our aerobic exercise.
30 minutes on the stepper burns approximately 133 calories.
Unfortunately ONE mince pie comes in at 157 calories!!
