Sorry you're feeling fragile Round. I hope get a better night's sleep and are back to fighting fit tomorrow.

Stress-coping and supportive vibes for you Fayolle.

Kazmeister, I'm appalled at the selfishness of your family about food and mealtimes. I rather take the attitude that they're jolly lucky I'm willing to cook at all, so they get what I feel like cooking when people are tricky.

It's been a busy, busy week here, and I'm sorry I've been tanking on with things rather than posting. I've stayed on top of the vacuuming and Belovéd has learned how to dismantle, clean and put the bird feeders together so that I can have a bit of a rest from the birds after being solely responsible for bird-feeding for 30 years. He's also washed the dog and cats' water bowls for the first time ever. It took a bit of an explostion to get to this but it was required to change things up.

I've been steadily working my way through the freezer / foodstores and this weekend I dealt with a 600ml box of bolognaise sauce. We now have a large lasagne for tonight and Tuesday, and four meals of spiral pasta with the same sauces which will go back in the freezer for another day, together with eight smaller boxes of bechemel sauce for the future, which used up 3 litres of longlife milk. I only want a couple of litres of longlife milk but the only place that sells the fullfat stuff locally sells it in boxes of six, and as Lidl hasn't had an Italian week for months, I used some for sauce. I also had to think of something to do with a huge butternut squash (free from L!d1) so that was cubed, mashed and added to the bolognaise sauce along with a tin of mashed butterbeans. I will get through this food stash eventually but it's taking some imagination to do so!

See you all on the other side.

Thanks for that - I'd rather presumed that a meet up might be a good idea.

@HoneyBear - long time since anyone's said that to me 😂

Washing line dried, bunny hutch cleaned and dried out, stuff ironed, been to town. Checked if I could have grapefruit now I'm on one tablet - I can't but a reminder of side effects has been useful as one of them is fatigue and I am fatigued right now as I've been busy today.
