Tuesday morning

Good morning all it is lovely and bright and sunny and looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. 

Denzil got an appointment to see the osteoprat and has had his back pummeled so he is feeling a bit better and is moving more freely.  The problem with backs is that the muscles go into spasm which is what causes the pain.

James did us a very nice Sunday lunch of roast chicken and of course, there was chicken noodle soup for supper.  It is difficult to keep myself on track with my calorie limit when I am not in charge of the food anyway I'm doing my best.

I took a walk up to Tak's house which is the furthest I have walked in months and rang her doorbell which is a fancy new one.  There was no reply so I trotted back home. Shortly after I got a phone call from Tak apparently the doorbell records who is at the door she was out having her knee arthroscoped and it looks like her football career is over.  Anyway hopefully they have tidied up her knee joint and she should be more comfortable in future.

What a bunch of old crocks we are! There is only one good thing and that is we are all still in charge of our marbles.

Have a good day and enjoy the sushine

    I'm glad Denzil's back is feeling a lot better. Marbles are definitely better than knees.

    Glad to hear Denzil's back is easing, there's nothing quite like the misery of a really sore back, that's why I go to a very good local chiropractor who deals with the 'scaffolding' first and then the muscles. I'm now on maintenance and it has really worked for the last few years.

    Well done on the walk to Tak, how did you feel afterwards? Sorry about her knee, hope she feels better soon after the procedure.

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...
