    Lots of Love Hugs n Vibes for Lady Liberty xxxxx

    I have dusted LR again, I swear this is the dustiest place on earth.... *insert Roll eyes smilie*, emptied two pillows from TD and put the other two in. Washing machine is finished, but I am debating whether to hang it on the line or not, as the sky has suddenly gotten very dark overhead! Think I may wait and TD that too....

    I have however cleaned the bathroom and am about to put away all the laundry upstairs and hoover & dust throughout! I may then be really good and consider doing all the woodwork and the windows, but if I am considering doing all that, I must be coming down with something and will surely be overcome by my illness and need to lie down before I get that far! :rotfl:

    Am off to do something, before I lose either my motivation or the will to live! :D

    tut tut LW.. you should only cook with wine that's good enough to drink ;);)

    which is probably why I hardly ever cook with wine.. it's usually all been drunk before it gets near the oven :rotfl::rotfl:

    been flinging lots of gibble today - a job I can do one-handed! Hospital appt tomorrow for X rays to check that my fracture hasnt moved.. the sensation is slightly different in the broken arm, but I don't know if that's because of swelling & bruising, or whether there's some nerve issues.. hopefully the former. We'll see. I do have v impressive bruising - the whole of the arm from elbow to shoulder is black :eek: nice!

    hope everyone is ok

    onestep
    That's just it - it is perfectly good drinking wine, but I have to strictly designate it for cooking (I even write "cooking wine" on the label in thick marker) or it'll never get anywhere near a recipe.:D We ended up going to the pub after all though; Penny came with us, and was as good as gold!:o
    I hope your poor arm is improving now, and that the hossy appointment goes well.

    I know what you mean, living as I do in the Dust Bowl of the East Midlands.:rotfl:

    I'm taking it very steady today, after my knee letting me down the way it did yesterday. My flippin' butterfly rash is up today too, so I may be heading for another flare.:( I hope not - anti-flare vibes gratefully received!:o

    Right, time to press on and do the windows in the end room - if I can get to them, as there's the kitchen trolley and Penny's supplies in there as well as the usual stores.:rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
