Wednesday morning

Good morning all.  Today we are starting with sun and wind but that may change at any moment.

Poor Dan is all confused. So when Denzil left at 5am he started howling I think he thought Denzil had retired when he was at home for so long due to the petrol crisis. Fortunately, he understands the command "shut up".

A couple of James friends are sick and positive for covid and I'm afraid I have little sympathy they are both unvaccinated so what did they expect?  Fortunately, James is double vaccinated so if he does get it he is unlikely to be really ill.  Of course, it is the season for colds and flu which can easily be confused with Covid.  Anyway, they can stay well away from me I don't want to catch anything just now.

Another student took my third position in the Latin league so I had to work really hard to regain my position and finally made second place only to lose it again.  We will have to see how well I do today so long as I keep within the top 15 for 5 days I will be in line for promotion to a higher league.  I must say the league does push you to persevere but it is getting harder and harder.

Well, that about all my news I am off to refill my coffee cup and then see what I can do with the Latin and my sewing.  Have a lovely day lets hope the sun lasts.

Friday morning

 Good morning all it’s a frosty cold but sunny day in fact a proper winters day. Tomorrow there will be rugby to watch.  I must admit I haven’t watched any of the Winter Olympics it’s not my thing.  I must admit I have never fancied skiing I can fall over on carpet. My tripe arrives today and I have made the mirepoix ready so just some simmering to do.   I think I might use the slow cooker the hopefully it will be ready for supper. Well my cup is empty and I hear the shower calling so time to get on.  I will be staying in the warm and playing in the kitchen.  Have a good day and stay warm.

Thursday morning

Good morning all well it is raining which is kind of par for the course.  This week has been one to forget as soon a possible.  Yesterday should have been a good day and despite feeling rubbish, I pushed on and got things organised for Shiona's visit.  So you can imagine how delighted I was when she didn't turn up.  She forgot.  So the boys and I had a nice lunch and I then took to my room and watched a lecture by Jordan Peterson which took my mind off my disappointment.  It is reassuring to hear someone of such intellect say that life is hard and nasty.  His latest book "12 rules for life an antidote to chaos" is a book that I have read once and I still pick up and reread the odd chapter when chaos is looming. So today I will be cooking the quails for lunch as the three of us will be here but as yet I haven't decided what to do with them.  I quite fancy Gnocchi Alla Romana but if I want them I will have to get a move on as the polenta has to...
