A tuna fish sandwich, known outside the United States as a tuna salad sandwich or a tuna sandwich, is a sandwich made from canned tuna—usually made into a tuna salad by adding mayonnaise, and sometimes other ingredients such as celery or onion—as well as other common fruits and vegetables used to flavour sandwiches. It is commonly served on sliced bread.

Variations include the tuna boat (served on a bun or roll) and the tuna melt (served with melted cheese).

In the United States, 52 percent of canned tuna is used for sandwiches. The tuna sandwich has been called "the mainstay of almost everyone's American childhood."

Good morning ,Trissie, and thank you for starting us off. You certainly had a very busy day yesterday! What robo cleaner are you thinking of getting? (DF S is thinking of getting one, and has asked for help deciding , and I am clueless about them!)

Bama, I love hot , sunny, dry weather, (so long as I don't have to do too much!) but all too often here it turns very humid, which really said my energy. A cooler day yesterday was nice!

L.Ann, how wise to get laundry done in advance, so it's not there to deal with when you get home. Safe travels! Is DGD coming back with you to stay for a while?

Helian, the next stage of your holiday sounds lovely too! My DF P had her first baby by C-section at 35 weeks. (She'd had a very difficult pregnancy with pre eclampsia and before that had had 2 early miscarriages ). I remember how relieved we all were when she got to 25 weeks, because twins had recently been born in our city at 25 weeks and were doing well, and a singleton baby was likely to be bigger than twins. In the event little I was born healthy and weighing around 5 lbs. I remember her cry was like a kitten's mewing, but that soon changed! That was 27 years ago, and today I is a happy healthy adult. And of course, medical treatments have moved on and progressed considerably in that time.

Dogged, its Tuesday here already, so that means tomorrow is Wednesday, and your last day at work!

Gma, how nice for you to have a low key day - you certainly deserve it! The doll's house is on pause for the summer. It's sort of finished, as I have all the pieces I need, but I still need to do all the little finishing touches, do some more research on the history of some of the furniture, and, of course, update my blog! That's scheduled for the winter when it's cold, dark and usually raining! Ive got quite a few bits and pieces left over, and I did even briefly toy with the idea of yet another dolls house, but we really dont have the space. So, I'm listing the surplus on eBay. If it doesn't sell in a reasonable time, then I'll donate everything to the charity shop, with a note enclosed about make, history, special details etc, so they can get the best price for it.

So, yesterday, I got another two boxes listed on eBay. My next task now is to wrap the contents of those four boxes, before I list any more! DH is understandably starting to complain about the space they're taking up in the kitchen - that is something I'm hoping to deal with while he's away, and, once it's all listed and wrapped, move everything down to the garage. I also managed to move the existing tallboy in our bedroom to its new space the other side of the bedroom. Ive had to do a very amount of tweaking, as, despite measuring very carefully, it still wasn't as easy as I had hoped it would be.

Today DH is WFH, so the next stage of furniture moving (the larger tallboy into our bedroom from the spare room) is on hold until he goes away tomorrow. He has announced his intention of sorting out his tools in the garage this W/E (he has acquired some really nice secure tool boxes for this purpose). It would be really nice if this happened, but I'm not holding my breath. So far, I've been
interrupted twice writing this, once with a request to know where the bin liners are (in the kitchen cupboard in their usual place - can't he just look?) and also for the dental floss picks. (I did get out of bed for this one and gave him a handful to be going on with).

Today's plans - walk, garden time, housework, think of something for supper and hopefully start wrapping some of those boxes. Here are also a couple of admin tasks that are becoming urgent!

I've taken Fred out, and also taken the last few bits of rubbish out before the dustmen arrived. So that's a win! Had a discussion with DH about what time he wants to leave tomorrow - reminded him it's graduation week at the university, so we need to allow more time to drive through the campus.

Having my breakfast now, then I'll go for my walk. According to the forecast it's raining, but looking out the window we still have , with no sign of dark clouds, so I think I'll get away with it.

Something has started beeping in the kitchen. It's not the fridge/freezer/ CO detector or my phone, and DH has his devices upstairs with him. I don't think there's anything else important it can be, so I'll ignore it for now and go for my walk.

gma, I used to make myself tuna sandwiches for lunch at work two jobs ago (when I lived and worked in the city and regularly spent my lunchbreaks going over work documentation in the cafeteria to avoid even more overtime). Haven't had them in ages, though now I really crave one (a homemade, that is - I sometimes buy them in the supermarket for a lunch/dinner on the go)
kittykatt, we are weather twins today! Grey and rainy today here.

Peeking in from after work. Today and tomorrow are my long days - 7:30 till 5:00. Two 9-hour days allow me to take Friday off, and DH is working from home overseeing the kids. I admit I am kinda stalling, I could already go home, but there's gonna be madness when I get there, so here I am
