TARRAGON & THYME

I read this And thought how very true! xx

Boy have I been getting my knickers in a knot this week for some unknown reason I thought yesterday was Tuesday and in fact nearly put Tuesday Catch up today at the top of this post.  Unfortunately I should have been out last night and because I thought it was Tuesday I was convinced I was out today i.e. Wednesday.  Needless to say I was disappointed to have missed an evening with friends;  I then realised that I was at the hospital today so had to get myself organised for that.  Do you ever loose days in the week? In any event I tottled off to the City Hospital saw my Consultant and the upshot is they are extremely pleased with me; somewhere down the line I am doing something right; my blood tests were good as was my liver function tests which is a big relief.  I have had problems with the Reynauds Syndrome more so than previously , but I am just to continue keeping gloves on and keeping warm; and I also  explained about the recent flu - as I do not w...

Its wet here in Peterborough today that gentle horrible drizzle that seeps into everything makes everything damp and is a nuisance. My joints are stiff this morning and moving around is a bit laborious and feels like toothache in my bones constantly burning away.  I have had my medication am just going to top up  with some paracetamol just to help things ease off a bit.  OH has gone been gone since early on suitably armed with his salad and ham buns (the ham has turned out well).  The chicken legs I will probably turn some of them into Coronation Chicken spread for him for tomorrow (not all of them as we want to leave our options open) as to what to do with the chicken and it saves getting tired of eating the same thing over and over again..  Now I need to research some sandwich/salad boxes for the pair of us (I will probably go and have a mooch around the Pound Shop to see if they have anything suitable either today or tomorrow) will have to see how things...

I am in the lucky position in that two days of the week I meet friends for a sit down lunch - usually on a meal deal somewhere at our local pub two meals for under a £10 - or for a hot drink and a piece of cake also well under £10.  My friends and I take it in turn to pay and it is a good opportunity for us to play catch up.  However for a couple of days a week I usually wonder around town and usually skip lunch but I am determined to put this right as I want to try and get a bit fitter than I am.  I walk everywhere but some days I really struggle with pain in my joints and stiffness and I also have an Achilles tendon problem. I just get one side right and then the other side goes AWOL.  Today was the first day that I walked to work in over a fortnight and boy did I know it.  My legs have been rested for the past fortnight (when I went to the Doctor she told me to rest my leg more) so off the Achilles tendon goes again.  If I don't walk I put weight on...

In this hurly burly life of ours sometimes it does us good to stop, listen and smell the roses.  As adults we often forget what the world appears like to a small child., big hurly burley and frightening.  I found this recently on the web and loved the sentiment.  I hope you do too We all walk in the footsteps of our parents and many of our ways and habits are learned from them but sometimes seeing things throug a child's eyes gives you a whole new perspective. Take care and have a good day Pattypan x

It has been bitterly cold here today again and we ran out of gas, but have now topped it up and everything is lovely and warm in the house again; the cats are curled up snug and warm. Today I have not cooked and for a change we have had a simple tea for two consisting of ham and salad buns, some crisps, crumpets, meringue strawberries and cream and some cake oh and lashings of tea and it has been simple, unfussy and to be honest made a lovely change a blast from the past if you like and I really enjoyed it. Because of work commitments and wanting to get the most out of the weekend we still eat at the weekend at night, carrying on the timetable like it is during the rest of the weak. Having proper high tea this afternoon bought back memories of the routine we used to follow as children in  that on a Sunday we would have roast dinner at mid-day followed by high tea later on a rhythm a routine part of the cycle of life.  Part of that cycle of life was that Sunday was spe...
