TARRAGON & THYME

Sorry I haven't been around a lot this week things have been a tad hectic with me being out most evenings this week so far.  I have been out this evening also and am out to the works Departmental Christmas dinner tomorrow evening at a local hostelry with the ladies I work with so I think it will be sometime Saturday before I am able to post.  I am on holiday for the week from tomorrow night in any event but I have serious amounts of things to do. I have had my physio class today and I only have one more session to go to before I am referred back to the Physiotherapist for a review in January.  It has really helped me lots with Pilates based exercises which are strengthening my core muscles.  I am also back to see the Consultant in the Rheumatology Clinic for a review in January. But so far so good - you have to be positive and I am very grateful for the assistance I have been given so far. I also have a couple of invites for next week  on the Tuesday- a Yule...

It was cold here last night and I woke about 5.00 a.m. this morning perished I quickly flung the quilt back on and snuggled down.  Today or should I say this morning was dull grey and cold - I ended up putting a jumper and trousers on and by the middle of the afternoon was far too warm - just cannot win with the weather round here.  I understand other parts of the country have had a nice warm sunny day.  Lucky them.  I am hoping the weather is going to improve over the next few days or so All went well at the Doctors apart from the Nurse I managed to draw wasn't very good at getting my blood  my vein collapsed and wasn't giving any blood up and I had two tests being carried out; she was a bit rough with one of the other procedures I had to have which was uncomfortable.  But at least its over with now just have to wait for the results. Then I was wheeled in to see the Doctor I  updated him as to what had been happening - got my medication sorted have ...

Hello, Just a quickie I am off to my friend's this evening.  Supposedly she wants to have a go at making home made Egg Custard - well that was the plan last week but it may well be something else by now.  Her intended is rather partial from what I can gather.  I think to be on the safe side I had better take some home made vanilla sugar and my nutmeg grater with me, and oh a pie dish.  One never knows with Eve.   I have had a King Prawn Balti curry for my tea which was rather yummy - its not often that we have takeaways these days so it was a bit of a treat.  We do try and abstain as it can get quite expensive and I would rather put the money somewhere else i.e. on ingredients so that I can do my own thing. Its been a lovely day here today but has gone chillier again tonight.  Have a lot to do tomorrow so am hoping the weather is good as I want to bottom the front room out and open the windows up to let the fresh air in. We are having a state visit...
