THREE BAGS OF HERBS LATER....

SHE waddled down the steps.. jurst before sky opened and down came the rain!

But SHE had managed to pick quite a lot of herbs for HER Goaty friends.. one bag of Melissa aka Lemon Balm with a small amount of Golden Oregano, one bag of Rosemary and another of Rosemary with Purple Sage.. it was all SHE could carry.

Ravenous WE WERE.. well, SHE was and I am always ready for something delicious to eat.. what is on offer, I thought?

Umm.. goodie goodie, for out of fridge came large tub of truly scrummy anchovy fillets, tub of small octopus, some funghi in garlic oil, some of those peppers SHE did a couple of months ago.. plus a beautiful tomato that Robert, friend at garden, gave HER last weekend..

What a feast.. quick and tasty, SHE lit the ring under red cabbage, added smoked bacon lardoons, stirred well and put lid back on.. that will cook down for about another half hour... SHE took a Duck breast out of the chiller.. and that is what WE will have for our supper.

But now.. WE are eating the 'snacket'.. jurst to keep norty ole Wolf from door as it were.. SHE ate the eggs and salmon at 8.45am, so it has been a loonng time not to have eaten any yumyum.

SHE cut off two thick slices of Spelt and Seed bread.. drizzled some good olive oil onto them, added crushed garlic and sliced tomato.. I got a bit too.. whooo.. there will be no vampires in THIS house tonight!

But SHE is taking life slowly.. it sounds as if WE are doing a lot but SHE was very sad to have to tell two friends that 'problem' is back.. at least WE know 'it' is NOT Cancer.. but specialist called HER and said "that he is now thinking surgery and most probably towards end of the month"..

Fiddle-dee-dee.. boring as it scuppers marvellous plans for end of month with family... many rude words.

But WE are off to read two magazines SHE was given by friend.

It is so nice to have a pleasant day, get all the work done and then have something to look forward to tomorrow as well.. Royal Albert Hall and Beethoven's 9th symphony.. 

What a lovely treat... and Danish Susan and our two friends are of the same career! There will be lots to talk about when not listening to this glorious music..

Good evening to YOU all.. I hope that YOUhave happy plans for YOUR weekends like WE do?

GeeGee Parrot.

  3. GeeGee and SaraLouise, This does not sound good. Please keep us posted when you are up to it. So sorry that you have to go through more, SL. Frankly the best plan is to stay away from doctors,
    say I.
