Those of you on fb i.ve put some pics on the group thing, and you'll be able to see any i get tagged in by family and friends too

It was a truly awesome day and i still can't believe it! Which probably why i'm still up at this time runnin on adrenaline! I.ve not slept properly for about a week now! I keep runnin everything that happened through my head tryin not to forget anythin...

welcome jaz and sammy,

cwta hope today is indeed a new day that leaves you feeling better.

jaz i saw your question about diet in tother thread...one of the ladies in my aqua aerobics class at the gym noticed a great improvement when her diet was all fresh ingredients cooked from scratch and fresh fruit etc. improvement to the point were she was able to put her sticks away. it started on a holiday and afaik she tried to keep it up afterwards.

morag hope things do ease off soon. i sometimes wish i could dispose of rw completely, pretend is much nicer

animals have chicken this morning. kettle is on and juice is squeezed.

jaz My Sister had some info on a diet that was supposed to be of help - i'll try to remember to get the details from her if you are interested?

I need coffee this morning please? Had a very disturbed night. Dad's wife had to call an ambulance for him as she thought he had another stroke. He refused to go to hospital and has doc coming in this morning. Debated whether to post this or not as if my life was a soap storyline it wouldn't be believable! But I need my friends

How are you doing today pcl? And is that little darling whitney OK?

bz The sun really shined on you! The piccies are wonderful - that cake is stunning (as were you).

Thanks that would be great.

Oh no, that's horrible. Have you heard from the doctor yet? So sorry to hear that and hope the news is good.

Jaz Nah, his wife asked me not to go over until the Doctor had been. He's 85 and has been fading on and off for a year now and Sister and I have had a couple of conversations where we both feel we need to make the most of him being here now. I had a brief word with him and, although he's been a vital man all his life, he sounded like he had given up the fight. I'm a real Daddy's girl and have been my whole life
Sis is gonna come down this weekend and will probably stay with me so they don't have too much fuss and can keep the house quiet for him.

cwta hope the doctor gives your dad the all clear or talks him into any treatment etc needed. let us know when you hear anything.

The_Dragon

cwta - that sounds worrying keep us posted if you can!

Meanwhile there is a distinctly Autumnal feeling in the air - so soup is the way to go at lunch I think (with fresh baked bread)

Carrot and Caraway
Butternut Squash
Scotch Broth
Tomato
Chicken Noodle

The evening choices will be

Beef casserole
Vegetable curry
Chilli (both con Carne and con Veggie!)

purplecatlover

fresh baked bread cannot be beaten tomato soup for me please.
