Yesterday my lovely new
oven arrived and was fitted by the time I returned form the Doctors
surgery, in the end I got an appointment by picketing the front desk
until my G P came out .
He saw me at once and
was not best pleased by what had happened, the cause of my allergic
reaction is still a mystery but it seem more than likely that one of
the new drugs is the bad guy!
Back to the cooker, it
looks perfect ,much nicer than the last on and it does seem to work
very well for I made a batch of mince pies,jam tarts and cheese
straws in order to put it through its paces. With Christmas so close
at hand a new cooker can take a little time to get used to as they
all have their foibles, and it,s better to find them out now rather
than under combat conditions at Christmas dinner time!
Yesterday evening I was
so tired that I fell asleep during tea, the boys insisted on an early
night for me for which I was very thankful indeed.
Having slept better
than I have in days I hopped to be full of energy today.....not so!
Nor was I the only sleepy head in the house,my son had a tremendous
struggle just trying to wake up and Pa was almost late for a hospital
appointment ,although that happens so often that it usually goes
without remark!
Not feeling like our
planned walk to Richmond we decoded to play games instead,I made a
big bowl of vegetable crisps using beetroot,carrot,and parsnip, we
also opened a box of chocolates and for the next few hours we drank
rum and coffee while playing cards first and then Ludo. Today Pa won.
I believe this
sleepiness is due to lack of light and even the cats seem to be
affected by it as the three of them spent today lounging about the
house stirring only for an occasional bite to eat.
It has been a lovely
day,we always enjoy our games and look forward to the quiet times
when such pursuits are possible.
I have some nice Plaice
fillets for dinner,these with some chips, garden peas and a lemon
sauce will suite us very well.
Afterwards I shall join
the cats and laze around until it is time to sleep .and that I feel
will be sooner rather than later.
