RTL, those people with their friendly greetings probably don't even realise what a positive effect it has on people. When my grocery delivery arrives it's really good to get a driver who calls out a hello and smiles on their way up the drive. Of course I realise that everyone may have things going on in their own life that affect their behaviour and I appreciate the job they're doing but I do so appreciate the cheery ones.
Re the sprout soup, you've given me such a laugh!
In my defence, the idea of it made me think of that cabbage we used to get at school that we used to call seaweed. It did look a lot like the stuff that heaps up on our beaches when there's been a storm.
But I love sprouts with a dinner and am doing my best to put them high in the veg popularity charts.
TY, I agree that the Rootschatters are a tremendous support. The first thing I read in the morning is not the news, it's the diary thread, it sets me up to deal with whatever bad news is waiting for me to read it.
Annette, would you be able to wrap up warmly and take a walk out (not to the bin!)? I can definitely recommend it, it doesn't have to be a long walk and I like the fact that I can at least say hello to people, albeit ones I don't know.
Viktoria, your medicine chest sounds like a box of torture! Can't have done you any harm I guess.
