    Pity you can’t pop over to see gks. It’s such a shame when they move a long way from home.

    Chips with cheese & gravy - love it - daren't eat it these days.  It must have got exported from here to Canada.
    I tried that dish when we were in Canada a few  months back but really did not like it.  I only really like chips with salt and vinegar and tomato ketchup though.

    Sun_Addict She uses two facebook groups. IIH support UK and Life with IIH. She did warn that because people tend to share when they need help it can be a bit doom and gloom but can be good resources for information and support. To be fair I have found that many groups for people with medical problems are often the same due people posting when they need most support.

    I hope they are some help to her snd your ds.
    Thank you I’ll let her know. I’m part of a Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma FB group as that’s what Mr SA had and although there are a few success stories most aren’t unfortunately. It’s predominantly US members strangely enough but a few are based elsewhere. Whenever I comment on how long he’s been in remission, despite how bleak it was at the time, I’m inundated with requests about which chemo mix worked for him.

    Yes, what a grey soggy old day in our neck of the woods, @Sun_Addict. We took one look out of the bedroom window first thing & decided to bump our planned Lincoln trip to another weekend. We'd already postponed our lakeside walk to next week because of rain. The local forecast only said 'showers' for here this morning, but there is already standing water in some of the local fields. Anyway, I hope you manage to get out for your lunch today. All the best for 2023 - I enjoy following your diary. Your fitness is very inspiring. Mine has fallen off a cliff, so I shall be looking to improve that as we go into the New Year.

    Thank you all, we did get out and not too wet thankfully. However the local had more staff than customers. We were there just over an hour and it cost £36 for a vegan burger, beef burger, onion rings, a pint and a glass of wine 😱 No wonder it was empty! My vegan burger was literally just that in a bun with a few salad leaves. The food was nice but definitely not worth the cost. Mr SA knocked his pint over but fortunately had almost finished it. Definitely not eating there again, they are charging city centre prices in a suburb. I wish we’d carried on another 10 minutes up the road where there’s a lot more choice and competition so better prices. Anyway it was all budgeted for.
