The thing about the school holidays is that I end up totally confused by what day I am on. Today, I have spent most of the day in the belief it was Saturday. It doesn't make an awful lot of difference as I had no real plans, but does mean that my food shopping for the weekend is out.

Spoke to Jazz earlier who informed me she will be keeping Arwen for another night, so that was my Fitsteps partner gone. Sooo, my Body Magic for today was another walk to Sainsbury's via the scenic route to fit in a couple of Pokestops. Gen 2 has just been released so lots of new Pokemon to catch. And if the weatherman is to be believed, we are in for some warmer weather, which will mean we will once again be frequent visitors to Hove Cemetery, which is very exciting 😉.

Xander being autistic isn't one for communication. On Tuesday he went off to High Wycombe to visit a girl he met on the internet as she goes to university there. He's met her once before just after Christmas, in Hastings. I did try to establish how long he was going for, but he was a bit vague. Before he left I reminded him that he needed to let me know he had got there safely and to keep in touch so I'd know he was ok. He managed the letting me know he got there part, okay it was a couple of hours after he got there, but hey, he did it 😃.  However, I hadn't heard from him since. Yesterday I messaged Stacia to see if she had heard from him because I didn't want to cramp his style, but his danger awareness is something of a concern to me.  She phoned him and let me know he was fine. Today, I got a text informing me he was staying a bit longer. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I think his train ticket runs out mid-March, so I'm assuming it will be before that 😆.

Today's recipe is adapted from one I found on Pinterest. It's become a bit of a favourite. Hope you enjoy it.
