wow! Igamogam! where is your daughter going for all that? the deepest recesses of the amazon rainforest?!!!
I hope you get everything sorted out and get a faster scan by calling direct - 6-8 weeks is a long time if you aren't feeling well
I love your garden - i can see all the tomatoes and vegetables in my head and it makes me a bit 'green' with envy not having a garden here in the city - the nicest food in the world is the food you grow yourself! I will be making your cod wrapped in parma ham - it's on my menu planner for this month! Yay!! but tonight - its all about the freezer food!!
have a great evening

I will let you into a secret.....the first time I made this my OH left the parma ham on his plate and I just helped myself to it once I realised it wasnt going to be eaten. He thought it was skin off the fish.............:rotfl::rotfl: He didnt do that again!Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Hmmmmmm. Think that lovely warm start to Autumn may well be over - distinct chill in air tonight and a stiff damp smelling breeze. You certainly feel that winter is just ahead when, walking down the garden path, you are met with a curl of friendly wood smoke. Makes me want to start my repertoire of winter soups and stews! Also means we will be putting the heating on soon I guess which means no more cooking on a camping stove:j:
Envelope idea seems to be working - put out milkman's money last week but he didnt call so that money went back into envelope together with this weeks.In the past I would have just 'pocketed' the money then forgot and be scrabbling around for 2 weeks worth the next week Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi
