Yup, she waved goodbye to Diane and Thierry as they drove away just after midday. They're now down in Cheltenham for a few days. Who knows when we'll see them again but it was really rather nice to have them with us, even if was only for a very short twenty four hours.
The rest of the day has been quiet, she stripped their beds, did two loads of laundry, tidied the room and made us some lunch.
There is a new pot of pork bone broth on the boil, when she went to get the smoked salmon for Diane and Thierry's breakfast yesterday afternoon, she called in at the butchers and picked up another four of their trays of bones and two pairs of trotters.
Carrots. celery, onions, black pepper, chunk of ginger root, five cloves, jamaican allaspice, dried purple sage, these ingredients mean the broth is deliciously extra yummy. Slurp, when you are not very hungry but want a 'little' something, bone broth and the tender meat which literally floats off the bones, is just perfect.
She had to go to the surgery, they're very hot on her case, and wanted to talk her through the MRI scan procedure, whilst she was there, they also gave her another prescription against osteopenia, which she has. Hence the gardening and heavy work that she does, if you don't use your bones, they get weaker!
So here we are.. having a quiet evening, she was awake last night until very late, she just could not get to sleep.. boring when that happens, isn't is? So tonight will be early to bed and not so early to rise tomorrow, she has to be dressed and at the club with her wits about her at midday. For she is having lunch with Elizabeth and they'll join the quiz afterwards.
I do hope our friends enjoy their stay in Gloucestershire and travel safely back to Paris on the 12th. We did enjoy having them to stay, even if it was for just the one night.. emails are ok, but it sure is nice to actually talk and laugh with one's friends.
