    Vjsmum: I had to go and Google Annie Sloane, sounds good.
    I’m a little annoyed all of the green house food apart from the tomatoes has been decimated by slugs and snails, miffed.

    1.Has to be Mchag’s news.:j
    2.I am looking forward to earning again I would like to get some bright clothes in - I’ve decided to go for one bright item per outfit. Nerves are hitting for the new job trying to keep them at bay.:eek:
    3.Washing loads cycling around, 2 on the line, one in washing, but decided to put our bedding through as well so we get a night on clean bedding before the alarms kick in again. So still a washing mountain.:o
    4.Re filled the bird feeders with all sorts of mealworms and fat logs, flashed back to watching the finches, dormice, and even seagulls right within touching distance. Animals dancing with me helping.
    5. Left over pork medallions from the van will be turned into sweet and sour with rice tonight.:cool:
    6. The relaxation that comes from watering the garden and having the animals chasing the water.:D:D:D
    7. Hand and toe nails all treated, one of the cs bargains from when we were on holiday is a beautiful French manicure polish for 30p.
    8. On the subject of CS’s we had some amazing luck I walked into a CS in Wales wearing my usual long skirt and got the comment of ohhh if you like long gypsy skirts we have these we haven’t put out. 4 skirts, all beautiful one was brand new, deep blue tie dye, black and red layered, green shades and a floral one each 2 squid each and all now washed and fit fine.:T

    Great news Mhags and family! Hoping for an uneventful recovery now! and lentil soup from a can is my comfort food to Mhags!


    So pleasures for today-


    1. Won a battle that has been going on for a few weeks in work today!
    2. Had a lovely chat with a patient and his wife who has been blogging about their experiences - feel much better now about the blog now - although it is public it still felt a little uncomfortable reading it without her and him saying it is ok - on line presence is an interesting thing!!!
    3. Lovely sunny day - washing out before work and the Reverend mother hung out the second one!
    4. Lovely find of a bag of frozen king prawns that I had forgotten about - so jacket spud and prawn salad for tea
    5. NSD

    Since the weekend: five bags donated to the Sally Anne (£10 Re-Bag voucher) but didn't buy anything for a change; another bag and a half filled since then with paperbacks; used some gifted argan oil on my hair for styling and it came out ok (very dry, very curly hair) and let it air dry as usual; made from scratch dinner for the last three nights from two chicken breasts. I get them from the halal butchers and they seem to be double the size for the same price! Now having a spoonful of honey to ease a sore throat before contemplating an early night.
    Looking ahead

    Mhags - so pleased that the surgery is over and hope recovery is as quick as can be expected.

    1. Lovely wander round the garden first thing this morning with a cup of coffee.

    2. Arranging to visit my Aunt in June. Its been a long time since I've seen her.

    3. Washing dried on the line.

    4. Doing some more decluttering.

    5. Long chat with DS1 as he's still home and applying for jobs.

    After 15.5 hours in theatre I've just had a call from one of the surgeons to say that OH has came through his surgery.

    I am so, so relieved. We have an awfully long road of recovery ahead of us but thank God that this part is over.

    I'm so pleased for you that the operation went smoothly.

    I hope that the post op period goes as smoothly.

    Sleep well.

    Just in; came here only to check for Haggis-home update.
    [Was called out earlier when there had been no news.]

    Thankyou mhags.
    Hope you're still too sound asleep to be reading all of these yet.
    Hope there's plenty of room in that virtual vehicle taking you to OH with the glory of new Life tomorrow - loads of us are piling in to push recovery along, You know this:-)

    1, For mcc and kk, vjm[esp.daughter] and many others who love language, today's wonderful bookends:

    and this astonishing, wonderful tour de force:

    2. Aviva Final ticket came today and vicky. & reiterates: i will reciprocate ALL best screams, shouts, ref. corrections and ALL other essentials, should Tigers roar on the day.

    3. Met a lovely young 'alternative' family in emporium = more rasps en route to new home sometime during week. Over 30 pop-ups are growing on, spaded from back so-called lawn during last week's 1st 2015 mow.

    4. Hickory-smoked this and that emporium rtc 75p[no, certainly NOT £4.99] beefy somethings with pulled pork blahblah ready soon. Well, smelling tempting right now. With &'s salad faves - endive, reduced to 25p, yum awaits.

    5. Much comforting and propping up and loin girding required and happening, amid so much disbelief and incomprehension. Some extraordinary surprises in places and people as sources of this, give heart and intelligent optimism, all essential for the coming 1820 days. Daniel Zeichner is in, for which I give deep, heartfelt thanks. To feel 'Safe harbour, Labour ', when entering Cambridge is a reminder of this single red heartbeat pulsing in the Fens.
