Today didn't feel like Friday , it felt like Saturday guess I was already taking it easy and in weekend mode . So I would just be enjoying an extra long weekend because tomorrow really is Saturday :) This week has been an eventful week . Shocking news that Dale Winton had passed away . My absolute favourite presenter . I loved his charm ,wit ,smile and endearing quality . God rest his soul . He shall be missed very sad he left this world far too early . But today even more shocking news my favourite DJ Avicii died suddenly in Oman while he was on holiday there . At 28 he was even years younger than Dale . I am so,so sad . He made great music was gifted and put his talent to good use . The world mourns his loss and every music fan . RIP Avicii !! We all fight battles he fought his greatest with drink and he lost . We don't know how he died but I'm guessing alcohol ! Dale fought his everyday with depression , a seriously dangerous sickness but so under estimated yet claims so many lives . And makes it torture while you struggle everyday to live . For everyone battling depression battle on , live each day optimistic that you can hold on victoriously everyday . Give yourself credit each night and be proud of yourself . A battle fought is a battle Won ! You are special and somebody loves you ( even if you don't have anyone in your life remember God loves you . )

Set aside with the bacon. Tip onion and garlic into the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and tomato purée, then stir over a low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, stock, lentils and thyme. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
