Great photos Diana, the baby is lovely, looks like a little doll sitting there.
Good luck with the scan tomorrow Brigid, hope the weather is fine for you on Wednesday.
My mother used to do butter beans when we were children but I wasn't that keen on them so I've never bought them since.
The thing that drives me really mad about price increases is shrinkflation. Do they think we're all too stupid to realise what they're doing?
I've been buying the same type of apples for ages now (not very adventurous of me I know), the supermarket guarantees a minimum number in the pack but the apples themselves are so much smaller than previously. I'd rather pay more and know I'm getting what I want but they're obviously laughing up their sleeves thinking they're putting one over on us.
I lost my sense of taste and smell for three months when I caught Covid, it came back gradually but after that I found that it had distorted those senses. I used to like eating peppers but they taste really odd now, also I don't like the smell of meat cooking, although strangely enough it still tastes fine. A few days ago I opened a tin of chicken and veg soup, the smell of it made me feel sick, unfortunately it ended up in the bin, I couldn't face it.
My sense of smell has been heightened with some things, I never liked the smell of geraniums (pelargoniums) but it's so much worse now. Ah Covid, the gift that keeps on giving!
Viktoria, the advice is to regularly sniff various things that have a strong smell, things such as coffee and lavender oil. I do hope your smell and taste recover completely.
