Beanie, sorry to hear your news. I agree with Greying. Apart from any other reasons, if you don't look after yourself, you'll be of little use to your friend.

Big hugs Beanie. So right about living each day to the full.

My Tuesday appointment wasn't great. Didn't have a scan just lots of x-rays and I have severe arthritis in my right hip, severe enough to be referred to a surgeon (who may not give me a new hip but possibly injections). Determindly not thinking about things I wanted/ hoped to do. This is how it is, this is where we are, this is where we start from.

Life is going to different, let's try to make sure it's good.

Good Morning :hello:

Beanie - what you doing up with the larks?

Cuddlymarm - I'm sorry, I missed to say HELLO :wave: and WELCOME to you yesterday. And thank you for popping in to give some help to wishus - very much appreciated

mrsinvisible - I agree - 'sandwiches' were bread and jam weren't they? Or if you were lucky, cheese. The only time we had cheese salad sandwiches was in the summer when the tomatoes and lettuce (round, webbs wonderful at all times..... ) were grown at home. Now, unless you have a 'Thai green curry' between two slices of artisan crafted sourdough, you've 'not had' a sandwich....... *sigh* :rotfl:

Thanks to everyone for popping in to support Beanie too - mucho appreciated by me

mothernerd - I admire your spirit Let's make sure that our lives are good, indeed


So, I didn't achieve a nsd yesterday, and as DP has been dispatched out with money in hand today, I can't claim one for today either Maybe tomorrow......

Dinner last night was pizza and wedges, it was such a good idea to have the oven on in summer....... :rotfl: Picture of 'me tea', here;



The important thing in that pic, were in fact, the potatoes. They were the donated ones from the gardening parental. They didn't really 'crisp up' as such - but did colour nicely But their taste was enhanced by cooking them as wedges. They were OK boiled - but not 'sooper dooper' potato tasting IYSWIM, but as wedges, you really got the 'tater taste. I know that sounds daft, but sometimes shop-bought just don't taste of anything. They were the variety, 'Accent' and were grown in a raised bed. I include this information for our resident gardening types, who, unlike me, can actually grow things!

Dinner this evening will be a curry plate - with the accent heavily on vegetable curries...... :rotfl:

Right, well, I've chores to attend to, so I'd better get to it.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to pop in, read and comment on the thread. Always appreciated. Always.

See y'all later.

I'm late to the sandwich discussion . My mum would make HG tomato sandwiches in the summer and we'd eat them together, sat on the lawn - that was our 'home' picnic.

If we went out for a day out, mum would occasionally take Brains faggots (sorry Greying). We'd park up somewhere and Dad would get the primus stove on the go, and we'd have faggot sandwiches :rotfl:

The other popular home picnic sandwich was banana.

I have happy memories of these times - thank you for bringing them back to me :A

I've just been standing in the sunshine - getting my *10 minutes*, and there is hardly a cloud in the sky, which meant that I saw the most wonderful sight of a sparrowhawk (female I think)cruising across (quite high up, so not necessarily hunting), and then had fun watching the little cloud that did appear, morph from the 'Tazmanian Devil' (too much D1sney....) into a comedy crocodile, with a looonnng tail....... Wish DP was with me, we love doing cloud spotting.

Tilly - don't mind about the faggots - I've not been a veggie my entire life, the folks aren't, and we too ate that brand of faggots Never in a sandwich though....... ours were always on a plate with mash and green peas Definitely not heard of faggot sandwiches before :think:
