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...

3 January - last Friday of the school holidays. I wanted something easy and light today. B. TAG and 3 of the M&S crackers with seafood cocktail L. A mug of Marigold vegetable boullion which cracked the bottom of my hug mug! D. Lemon sole pan fried with mushrooms and samphire. DGF crimbo...

1January Was going to visit SIL and all her family from Australia and Manchester, but weather was atrocious and most of them are recovering from a bug. Staying in was the best choice. B. TAG and Benecol dairy free L. Split some of the M&S prawn thermidors and scallops with Hubby. D. Split...

It's absolutely glorious. I've bought it again.

Only 4 people there for the Looney Dook on the beach yesterday. My niece was one! Weather was horrible.

Happy New Year everyone. Lang may yer lum reek. [emoji322][emoji323]

I should have added that the dalmatian is the new addition to son's household. As you know, their leonberger died recently, which left a huge gap. DIL is heavily involved in rehoming animals, and the dalmatian kept appearing in her inbox. He's been adopted. His owner had died. He's 6 and you'd...

OK, Christmas Day, I was making dinner as usual B. TAG and that was it. L. Nothing D. Started with the fish dish I'd been experimenting with. I'd rolled fillets of sole and cooked and served with a very large prawn, in a sauce of white wine, a touch of cream, diced shallot, samphire, and...

It certainly does not seem like two years. I was also thinking about Goonergal today. Another sad loss.

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...

I'm not fully organised yet!! I do have my lists. A few more presents still to get. Main butcher stuff ordered and my shopping delivery slot is secured. Christmas tree went up yesterday. The kids are practicing for their nativity, and they are still singing "release my wee dad" rather than...

He was mostly recovered a day later thankfully. Now he's driving me crazy wrapping Christmas Gifts, but not labelling them!! It's like a Christmas mystery game for me! I was delighted that the energy company fell into line quickly this time. I had quite a battle with them last time. I was not...

I taught myself to "like" brandy in coffee. I can manage Jamesons Irish whisky as well. I can't honestly say it's my favourite but I have discovered that Tia Maria is now much too sweet for me. Practice makes perfect I suppose.

I'm very much online, but online with the local shops at the Fort. I've mentioned in another post that it gets horrendously busy, so the colkect makes it so much easier. The trick is to collect very early morning (I get there for 8.45 once I deposit the boys at school) or later at night (after...

Sunday B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with egg mayo. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing. Got grandson to his swimming, but we left early to go as my legs are still causing me issues. @MrsA2 - I drink pints of water. I'm afraid my issue is my screwed up nervous system thanks to my accident...

Apart from my legs and arms, yes. It will pass. I'm sure it's the vaccination working its usual "magic,"
