    Only an hour to go, thinking I'm going to have salmon tonight, my DD1 once made an 'experiment' salmon dinner when she was younger and more helpful....salmon fillets with a breadcrumbs, grated orange rind, juice of the orange, a bit of parsley and a bit of mayo all mixed up and slapped on top of the salmon (that's the technical term..) then cooked in the oven till it goes all crisp :drool: with Jersey royals and peas probably :D

    What should I have for afties :think:

    ETA: just found the recipe that DD1 used all those years ago! Can't believe I remembered all the ingredients!

    DB, so sorry to hear your tragic news. My heart goes out to you & your friend even more so. Sending you lots of hugs & support, sweetheart

    Lots of other reflective posts on here since the start of this new thread; seems like we've all got a lot to think about.

    I have been drinking like a fish (do fish drink? smiley_shrug.gif)

    And I miss my ex. Lots & lots & lots :(

  • Afternoon HB. Hugs, it's not easy is it. You know you've got to go with the flow.

    How's the contacts/eyes situation ?

    Weirdly better since I mentioned it on here!

    Unfortunately my glasses are out of date & I cannot see well enough in them for work purposes so I'm managing as best as I can with contacts & giving my eyes a break more at home :)
