Many thanks all, for your kind wishes about the memory stick, one tiny chance,it could be with the little soldering iron in son’s bedroom, he “ looked”
—-but if he is anything like his father a glance will have sufficed.
Phone call from lovely grand daughter today , on her way to college .
Has just moved house so so will be able to use a very nice cane bench settee with storage ,in her garden.I bought it on a whim!
A bit more space then,here.
I don’t think my neighbour is coming home- so sad ,I hope my son will think about the house ,either rent or even buy .
I like it in many ways more than here ,I have said all that so won’t repeat myself ,but it would be very handy.
A bright day again, ironing to do ,Inspector Morse is on this afternoon so will have that on whilst “ dashing away with the smoothing iron “ —- who remembers that song from school ?
Friday afternoons ,we were taught the history of folk songs and how Cecil Sharp rescued and saved very many that otherwise might very well have been lost.
That was Primary School too ,before Grammar School ,The Juniors up to age eleven.We did enjoy those “sing alongs”.
Sea shanties, this has been aired quite some time ago ,so many remembered.
Smoked salmon in cream for tea with olives or capers ,fusilli and something green - can’t get wild watercress these days , so what to have with it ?
Problems problems —- kick yourself up the bum Viktoria and stop faffing about !
The lady like a tiny bird ,95% blind ,deaf and her son died a year ago with absolutely no symptoms ,called yesterday.
So stoical,to tell me her daughter ,who has organised a few things for her, is
moving to The Lake District, whatever will the poor soul do .
Flatly refuses any one going into her home ,so what will happen I don’t know.
I am sure she is slipping through the net ,but said daughter is a block to anymore help it seems, has advised her mother not to allow
“ interference” from Social Services. ! Nothing more I can do , but she is welcome to come for a chat and she likes milky sweet coffee.
We could walk together but she walks so fast with such confidence , I don’t think she weighs more than six stones .
Whilst I am a hefty seven stones and nine pounds last time on the scales .
Better weather in the not too distant future , I do need to walk more .
Get a dog ,then I would HAVE to walk,even a three legged geriatric one would need walks.
Flash Harry —- gets a pain in his arm a lot,( he doesn’t) told the teacher it was because she keeps making him write.
Daddy starts new job,no weekends so it is hoped F.H. Settles down as they spent so much time together during lockdown ,then the extra living costs meant extra working hours plus “ baby “ Kyra!
He seems better now Daddy is home at weekends .
A nice little boy but ‘“all there with his lemon drops” which means not daft,has it all worked out .
I enjoy reading your various menus,mine is a bit old fashioned,casseroles and stews ,cheese and onion pies , etc.
Have resurrected the pressure cooker as I mentioned.
Gone off the slow cooker a bit .
We eat well really and are lucky to have a good choice.
However did wartime housewives manage with such little rations and even onions in short supply !
Hope all are well ,just had a phone call from a friend, her hubby is going downhill re mobility etc ,a nice couple no children but do have a dog.
Tireless work for our Heritage Society.
Must phone another lady too,a recurrence of an illness fought bravely many years ago.
We share a taxi on Winter evenings to attend the H.S. meetings.
Well must get on ,need to get some smoked salmon plus other bits and bobs , I think some broccoli florets might be nice with the salmon ,a bit “ al dente” but not too much.
So Cheerio, look after yourselves .
Thanks for all the news — “ The daily round,the common task ,
Will furnish all we need to ask—- “
So many would happily settle for those ,wouldn’t they.
Viktoria.
