So pleased that you're back home now. I hope this will be the beginning of sorting out your problem. Take care. xxx

Ahh so pleased to hear that you're back and with suitable treatment for the time being, at the least. Hopefully by this morning the Anti-b's will have started working their magic and you'll be feeling a lot better ready for the long weekend. (And if not, then at least you have a weekend ahead rather than "work days" which even when you're poorly can make you feel a bit guilty not doing much, in my experience!)

Thanks all. Your kind comments & support are much appreciated.
Well, we divided labours this morning & ended up with the grocery shopping done & house cleaned. As I've not been feeling like my usual bright-eyed, bushy-tailed self this week, I had forgotten to do the meal plan, so I knocked that out in bed first thing & wrote the shopping list.....then crossed 3 things off. You see, we do have 3 fresh ingredients I need on Monday for making lamb bhuna, but they are unlikely to last until then. So I decided to make the curry base part of the recipe today & just keep it in the fridge until I need it. I shall need another skinned chopped fresh tomato for the Mon stage of the recipe, so prepped another of the squishy ones & froze it. I also decided our green pepper was too big for the curry base, which requires a small one, so I cut off a third of it, chopped & froze for next time I need peppers for pizza or couscous. I like rolling bits & pieces forward towards another meal, something I did very regularly while debt-busting.
Other stuff? I've entered a competition, potted up 3 trays of calendula & 1 of Cosmos 'Lemonade' & watered all the greenhouse veggie babies. I've lost 2 tomato seedlings at the potting on stage, not to the cold nights (when I use bottle cloches & bubble wrap) but to a sunny afternoon when I hadn't realised how high the temperature had risen & should have opened the window. I sowed plenty though.
Cut another big bottle into a cloche.
Had a message to say I've won £35 in this month's local Labour Party fundraising draw, so that will come in useful.
Am chatting to you from my sunny bench in the veggie garden, as I wonder what on EARTH I'm going to do with the veritable TRIFFID of lush rhubarb in front of me. Cakes, crumbles, etc, are out as we will be straight back with the weight-loss on Tuesday. I think I still have sufficient stores of rhubarb & ginger jam, though I could make some chutney. I already have plenty of compote in the freezer from the plant I forced. We also have plenty of fruit gin.
Well, Ash has come to join me, flopped out by my feet with the sun accentuating his stripes. Soot has had his naughty head on today. He walked across our heads in bed this morning, then upended a wastebin to see what was in it & finished by giving his claws a good strop on the linen basket. He's also been up on the kitchen worktops (forbidden) searching for cat biscuits & clawing the kitchen chair. Ash walked muddy pawprints all around the bathroom basin but so far (unusually) that's his only transgression for today!
Well, the sun is so lovely, I think I'll stay out & read a couple of chapters of my book. Virtually no effort required for tonight's nosebag, as I made sufficient fish pie yesterday to feed us for two days.
May you be blessed with hot cross buns,
F x

Hope that you are doing ok and glad that the infection is being dealt with.  I hope that decisions around the next steps are made soon with full input from you and that the appropriate treatment can be done soon.
