    Thanks.
    It is a difficult balance between resting and getting better and doing things to keep me occupied and lift my spirits a bit.I need to think I'm achieving things in life even if I'm off sick!

    Feeling a bit emotional all day but I had a nice walk and spent some time with family. Hopefully the wobbly phase will pass quickly!

    Possible meals from food in freezer and fridge

    Butternut squash and ginger soup
    Meditaranean veg & pasta soup
    Arroz con pollo (economy gastronomy!)
    Sausage and tomato sauce
    Cod with spicy new potato salad
    Home made pizza

    Topped up with meals in the freezer that have already been made it should hopefully mean minimum spends on groceries this week!
