Tonight we have had......

Moules marinaire and very tasty it was too.   Needed some fish as had over balanced on the meat over the past few days.  Bought them 3 packs for £10  from M & S prepared with shallot and garlic.  Served with wholemeal seeded French bread to mop up the juices and it has gone down very well indeed.  a light tea which was very much needed.

I also nipped into Waitrose and from the reduced section managed to get two lemon sole.  Its a long time since I had lemon sole so they are for tomorrow night's tea to be served with home made chips, lemon slices and petit pois and bread and butter - another light tea.  I like fish and seafood its good for my arthritis.

I have also got some beef and red wine stuffed ravioli and goats cheese and onion ravioli served with a rich tomato sauce that should do us for Wednesday night's tea.  Might also serve some steamed kale  with this to lighten it up a bit.  I bought a pot of basil as well to make some fresh pesto any left over can be frozen or use later on.

I have had a busy day.  I have been to see my physio - I have to carry on with the regime I have already started following but I have permission to up the exercises from the weekend to build up those core muscles again.  I have to see her in three weeks and she will determine how I have got on and then after that it will be back class again.  But I have to get my feet sorted and see the GP as she believes that a lot of my problem stem from my bunion joints and there is only so much she can do until I get that sorted.  She seems to think I need surgery for the bunions.  Ouch.

Then on to the Dentist; I met my Dentist for the first time - he is going to try and sort my teeth out.  He was a bit cross as the records had not been updated from when I attended the other week on an emergency basis  - not cross with me but cross with his colleague as he had to charge for today's appointment which could have been incorporated into one longer appointment.  He was also cross as I had been treated with antibiotics for the start of a small abscess but there was no mention of this in the records.  He really needed that information.  He has done another temporary filling to keep me going but the tooth is not viable and so will have to come out.  That will be towards the end of April.  I have been instructed to get hold of some clove oil to bung on the tooth if the filling should come out.  It would seem that the old methods are still the best.

Right upwards and onwards.  Back to work in the morning.

Catch you soon.
