When I was young they said one day we would just have a tablet for each meal and not need food. What a mad idea.

Except it's turned out we have a tablet with each meal.

Good morning everyone from a quiet start to thre day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.2 this am. Mrs Miggins made it over the border yesterday, ladened with jars of Scotch Mist and a copy of the poem ‘Halloween’ by Mr Burns. Ostrich steaks last night, purchased in Aldi; high in this, low in that. Interesting but they don’t fly. Art bit, another starter for ten. Hope your day is a good one. Best finish my koffy and get on with the day.

Looking forward to this one...

@Krystyna23040 good news on having a lunch break however that happened. For me anyhow the baking worked thanks be to God for the Food Fairy. The doughnut recipe will be tweaked but for now melting very dark chocolate and stirring in some cocoa for a topping have calmed things down nicely. That was planned and done by me @gennepher thank you for sharing the creative. I'm taking a wild guess that the window has a meaning but what do I know, what do I know? @dunelm thanks for sharing the starter for 10. We like Ostrich steaks - there is/was a vendor at St Ives monthly farmers market. Bison steaks, reared on the farm and sold from the on site butchery with various exotic meats, are my favourite. That area of Cambs is far more woke than here.

Thank you Ian

Thank you @ianpspurs. I saw some more alternative meat stuff in a supermarket today - must be spreading the burned and trying to cut down on fields of bovine methane to help with global warming.

You probably know what dinosaur would taste like now?

Crocodile? Had some of that in Kenya - bit odd.

Have you heard that Oxford are saying aluminium foil is a likely cause of dementia. I have not seen the original article but I was just wondering what your take on it was?

Must be from wearing those special hats

There was a bit of a scene last night, a large spider appeared on the bedroom ceiling.

The duchess didn't like the idea of it dropping in her mouth whilst she was asleep.....you would have thought it was Shelob herself on the the ceiling. So I caught it in a duster and put it in the under stairs cupboard, which the duchess wasn't happy about but I wouldn't have put it outside on a wet night.

Personally I stopped eating it years ago.

She's absolutely right! No way could it have stayed on the ceiling, or even in the same room. Had it been me, not even in the same house. It would have to take its chance outside, rain or no rain.

Some of us are on too many tablets!
Some of the technology is already there. You need similar in space!

Knackered now. The stand steps are steep at my age!!!!!

I have a butcher and won't touch anything else cos of the awful concoction of ingredients found in any of the stuff they make, the list is horrendous as is the taste of the only one I have touched my tongue with.

I still would like someone to describe what woke is?

If it means helping people have a better life, then I'm in!

 

[Lamont D]

Feel for your pain.

But i know when tested we rise.
When pushed we learn
& when required we do.

Nothing beats the love of one person for another but their death.

And we aren't on the other side yet.

God bless

Viva la loco.

Thanks for that mate! And I appreciate the thoughts and do agree.
The pressure is pushing me down, and I have not got the tools needed, I believe, to push back. To know how to approach, any actual caring basics. I'm relying on my own experience and nous, to help her!

My b.i.l. got carers allowance for my demented sister. Don't say any thing, but it could help you if you want to employ help. They were not poor either but even had paracetamol on the N.H.S.
Perhaps it is means tested now, I don't know, he never used it until she died and paid for the care in a home until she died. It was the last few months of her life.
I took a very dim view of what happened, but I think you are a very good case and you should not have to drive yourself into the ground.

A shame that the free broadband plan didn't go ahead @Lamont D
