Dearie me! I have been awol a while. As I explained to @Annb , I had a bit of a tumble at home and aggravated my existing injuries. I'm still having niggles but I'm over the worst I think. Add to that, prior to my tumble, I had some kind of viral infection. At least that's what the eye Pavilion...

They are, and surprisingly well behaved even although the little one tries to lead his bigger pal astray!

We have doggie visitors. I think they are considering bed time!

Merry Christmas everyone! Still busy with dinner. Just putting my feet up for a mo.

Tuesday With hubby having been unwell I suggested fish may be a good idea today. In-between trips to collect online orders, I headed to the fish hut to buy some freshly landed sole. B. TAG and Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing D. Pan fried sole, alioli and a cobette. Wednesday B. TAG and...
