I'm glad you are feeling better......I fear I'm a few weeks behind you. The throat and voice thing is really odd. I'm taking some pretty strong pain killers which seem to be helping but they keep making me fall asleep. I must admit that with that and the constant coughing, I'm not the best company. The Prof is being a saint looking after me at the moment.

My cough was/is very odd. I sound like a strangled weasel. Not being able to cough properly has been quite an issue.

Maz is back later today (She's been looking after her sons GSD and Cat whilst they're on holibobs) so I've dragged some Chicken breasts out of the freezer (£3.99 down to 95p on YS)

Curry tonight (I blame @Reynard for putting that idea into my head)

*takes a bow*

Not a bad thing to be blamed for, dare I say so myself.

I met up with a couple of old friends last night for a bit of a chat. Whilst we were chatting one of them made cups of tea made with goats milk which tasted fine at the time. It was later when I was at home I started burping and kept smelling GOAT.

Then you won't want the goat's milk camembert that's ripening in my fridge then?

 

[Reynard]

Yes, quite, but only for three 8 week periods a year, a wellness scheme, I believe.

Ah right. Watch out for the weird and wonderful veg then.

Wrote down my recipe for gingered yellow plum chutney. This is one I *definitely* want to replicate...

Well that went better than expected, after a week in hospital my Good Lady was allowed out today, just for the afternoon. I took her round her favourite hairdresser so she could get her hair done and have a gossip with her friends, then over a favourite farm shop for some lunch and a browse before coming home to sort out some stuff she wanted for the hospital. It's been a hard but pleasant the day, and with the effects of the cold and the bad nights sleep I'm pretty washed out, I got back from the hospital and went to sleep for a couple of hours.

My room to room memory is working really badly. Why is it that it's so easy to think of something in one room and forget it in the next?

Gammon, mash & peas tonight. And then there's the last of those Heston lemon mince pies for later alongside a

I regret only buying one box.

Printed out the most recently completed chapter of my Babylon 5 fanfic and added it to the binder containing the rest of the manuscript. I love keeping a hardcopy version - makes it easier to flick back through stuff to check for continuity etc. After 45 chapters and 400-odd pages, it's kind of hard to keep it all straight in my head.

Anyways ladies & gents, it's back to mundanities in the morning. I will be intermittent pending on internet availability. Will be popping in occasionally as time permits, but I'll see y'all on the other side xxx

This is Casa Reynard, over and out.

The loft hatch catch gave up the ghost. I tied it up with string.

The kludge wasn't at all pretty, but it stopped the draughts for a few hours.
