TravellingAbuela

Well done to your son JUDI. You couldn't properly help him until he started helping himself. Let's hope this is a new start for him.

I am feeling quite concerned at the outcome of Mr TA's musculo-skeletal clinic appt this morning. The doctor was quite concerned about his knee problem and has referred him for a scan of his spine! We put it down to needing knee replacements but the doctor dismissed that, hence the spinal scan. Surely he can't have another serious problem to contend with. If so there is just no justice. One more worry to stop me sleeping.

Went to Aldi late morning to find it shut! As was Iceland next door and Sainsbury's across the road! Some serious electrical fault which also affected the traffic lights inbetween! To save going back home again we decided to go to the new Aldi in the next town. Gosh, compared to ours it's enormous and so spacious!

Just enjoying an hour or so's peace and quiet before the DGD juggling between their various activities!

Enjoy the rest of the day folks if you can xx

Judi, we are going to rent the house out and will probably be permanently living aboard from May.

Afternoon all,

Hester....congratulations on your boat ownership, great that you can manage to keep your house too.

TA.....hope that Mr TAs scan will have a good result.

Having smoked coley with parsley sauce, mash, mushrooms, and canellini beans. Debating making an apple crumble, if I do I will probably eat it all myself, so maybe not!

Its been a lovely spring day here so far, rain is expected later, but I feel better for the warmth.....think I have been suffering from SAD.

Have started knitting dresses for DD4s 3 little girls....found some nice red wool in my stash.....just one hundred gr ball, am going to use it as an accent with some blue/grey, think that it will work ok..

Enjoy the rest of your day

Brilliant news dumpling I bet you are really chuffed for her .
Judi perhaps your straight talking did some good, I do hope so for both your sakes.
Some good ideas for the chocolate liqueur Its come from france so I have no idea what brand it is,but it is very nice . I like the sound of a black forest type gateau . I looked at the bottle and it seems to be 25% proof so perhaps not a good idea for my DGS :) but grown ups would appreciate it If I can do some freezer tetris I may be able to squeeze some ice cream in there and ice cream and CL drizzled over it sounds right up my street as a treat :)

Great afternoon at U3A and the Titanic talk was really interesting.
Still very overcast and cloudy but at least its not raining
Have a good evening chums

P,S. I know its not easy but try not to worry too much TA you have to take care of both of yourselves and worrying won't change anything xx

LameWolf

TA aww, hun, there just seems to be no end to it for you - let's hope the scan doesn't reveal anything beastly to have to deal with.

Jackie whisk up some double cream and add a dash of your liquor nice just on its own or as a topping for cake etc. xx

Dumpling that is great news.
TA I'd worry too, anyone woukd, I hope things will be OK.

Well I am back from work. The hoovering was not done though I have done it now. I'd hoped for a loaf of bread but DS decided that was too boring so he has made cornbread, using all my polenta. He decided against using a recipe from the Panasonic book and used one he got from some Internet bread baking group. It isn't cooked through yet and I have only frozen bread.

Dinner for them was Spag bol, which I don't like. OH gave me some spaghetti with grated cheese. Unfortunately the pastable was stone cold and very unpleasant so I have basically had a little grated cheese.

This post was interrupted by having to get the bread out, it smells good but is very heavy. I burnt myself.
I have not done any swearing you will note.

TA Fingers crossed for MrTA's scan x

Dumpling Glad your sister's op went well

Jackie Just drink it :beer:

Judi pleased to hear prodigal is being pro active.

Hopefully its just a precaution. I wish upon him the very best outcome from the scans he is having.

Good idea, it will provide you with an income whilst your house continues to increase in value. Very wise.

AoD. Such restraint. I'm sure I wouldnt have been so controlled if i had been in your shoes.

My little man was super today. Climbing all over everything, making dens behind the sofas. He's got a brilliant imagination. I think i overfed him with fruit though... he didnt want his tea.

Havent heard from Prodigal since this morning. Ive got a few ideas i want to put before him when i see him next.

Hubby and Youngest have put themselves to bed early. Both of them have had a long, hard day.

Sleep well all.
