I chose it, because I like picked cucumber.
Thank you. Yes, I go to lunch with my son every week. Hubby has memory problems and I need time with my son and a little break. As anyone who takes care of their loved ones 24/7 knows, it's a challenging job.
We had coffee in a lovely cafe, but forgot to take a picture. ☀️☀️☀️
I went to grocery with my son. The local Nepalese restaurant Nimto had found new premises and reopened with a new buffet menu:
Chicken Butter Masala, Lamb Kofta Chili, basmati rice, fried potatoes, samosas, fresh side salad and naan. 🍜

The warm March got me thinking about what I'd grow next summer: various cherry tomatoes, purple beans, herbs, and edible flowers for decoration and salads.

Thank you. It’s great to live without any schedules and enjoy being a night owl! 🦉
Oh, thank you, you’re very kind. We live in Finland, hubby and I are retired and sleep late, so our eating habits are a bit bohemian, no early breakfasts, but more like brunches!
I went grocery shopping with my son today. The weather wasn’t very nice, sleet and rain, but a buffet lunch in our local Thai restaurant was warming and comforting: chicken soup in coconut milk and pork and basil, chicken in yellow curry, spring roll, a fresh side salad. 🍜
Yes, it is important to take care of our own health, we're all responsible for it, and good health will give us many happy years of enjoying a quality life!

Your breakfast and lunch sounds very delicious and healthy.
Before going to work, I always used to eat warm oatmeal with thawed garden or forest berries. Now I’m retired and have more time and can make different breakfasts.
Thank you. ✨✨✨
