  • Thanks @beanielou and @KajiKita, hip not feeling too bad today. Pizza was good, especially with the addition of extra mozzarella that needed using up

    Happy Easter to you too.

    Hope the veggie roast was yummy. I fed DH a simple but lovely traditional roast lunch.  Sometimes it really is the gentle things in life that get give us pleasure.

  • Sounds lovely @Sallyforth. We stocked up on several bags of bargain potatoes so we'll be eating them whether they bring pleasure or not 😁

    Ouch for you too @dawnybabes. Hip is okay, just tender, rest of my joints going mad now! Definitely warrants lots of medicinal chocolate
