Just bad in from afternoon rounds.

Failed in bringing wood in sadly, but have enough from what DH brough in for tonight. Sadly woodburner is chomping through fuel today.


There is a band of rain just north of here so thick it looks like heavy chain curtains from the sky. Really heavy ribbons.

Ah yes! Swan water skis. Excellent idea!

I don't know why I was so fixated with swan pedaloes, honestly:o.

Pick a couple of small 'uns and strap one to each foot... bit of string round their necks to steer and they're good to go.

Fence between us and next door is down. A house just round the corner now has its TV aerial pole listing over by about 30 degrees or so.

Feels like ages since I was last here, about 30 pages We seem to have got some of the rain here now. Not as bad though. Hope you are all safe and dry...

I think I have found a food that I am completely non reactive too.

Pop corn.

This is my absolute favourite diet food. Coconut oil (you get very little of the taste) add salt before heating as you use a lot less and H&B kernels. Hardly any calories, full of fiber and filling. Yum - might make some now.

I received the news about my first eek smear via the telephone, they just rang up out of the blue and told me to make an appointment urgently with the doctor and the reason why :eek:

Talk about panic stations.....

My doctors surgery left me a message saying similar late one Friday afternoon. By the time I got the message it was too late to contact them so I spent the entire weekend in major panic mode. Had another smear done the following week which was normal. Hope your panic is resolved as easily.

Last year I was put on a really odd diet. I was told digesting fibre was doing me in and it was felt I was getting ibs type problems and nausea because my gut wa stopping working because of a complication with my health. They decided I had a: an allergy to pretty much most food and b a problem digesting fibre . After a scare where we talked about living off a liquid diet then basically they said I could eat white carbs and sugar. Nothing much else. Meats been ok, and over coked veg as a treat, but not all veg.

I've been weaning m,y self off this for a few weeks and feel no better or worse.

Popcorn has been amazing though. DH loves popcorn, we have an air popper, so I can eat it no oil, no salt. (Though I am one of those odd balls who needs more salt sometimes).


I am always trying different popcorn flavourings for DH. He likes home made poppycock, but its not very healthy . Orange or lemon zest smells nice but tastes of 'nothing'.

Coconut oil is a brilliant oil. I use it because I like the high burning point and clean flavour rather than health benefits though

I came home to a handwritten note addressed ' To The Owner'. My heart sank as I guessed it was to do with a fence or a chimney or something having fallen over.

It's actually a note saying that they've been in touch with the previous owners who told them they no longer owned the house, and if the house is still a student let can I give them a call. Phew!

Hope nothing else gets damaged Lydia (or anyone else for that matter).

Kiwi and big dog have the groomers tomorrow. I am horrified at the state they are in with no pre groomer tart up but not much I can do about it. I just tried to give kiwi a groom and got his head done. All the knarly bits of legs and under arms are horrendous though. . Its really not fair on him OR the groomers to get them to do it, but its just the tramping in and out of this wet its matting up his coat. . Big dog just stinks.

Power back on. Electricity company came without warning, replaced four electricity poles (been condemned for five years so not a rush job) and around 300 metres of cable with very expensive double insulation in the middle of huge gale. Poles wobbling as men climbed them.

They must have spent three times the amount it would have cost just to put the cables in the ground forty feet.

This is because of electricity company.

N.b it snowed today for a few minutes. Snow headache justified.
