Oh dear.. oh dearie, dearie me. She had a sneaky suspicion for a couple of years that bread was not the best thing for her, think slow digestion, bloating and other unpleasant things and so, although she loved the Lithuanian bread we ate, a sourdough mix of rye and wheat with caraway seeds, she stopped eating any bread at the end of February.
On Tuesday she bought a loaf of this to take on the girl's outing to Rackspace. On Wednesday she ate one slice with the picnic and had two slices toasted on Thursday morning when we broke our fast, I am crazy-daisy about those crusts.
Yesterday morning we ate another two slices. Then we went off to Streatham Hill to the Streatham Dementia Support Group. By four of the afternoon clock, she was feeling uncomfortable, by bedtime which was just after ten o'clock, her lower stomach was extremely painful, to put it mildly and guess what!
There was no Swedish Bitters in the cupboard! She'd slurped the last drop last weekend and forgotten to call our beloved herbalist Christine @ Granary Herbs to order two more bottles! Grrrr.
So her plans have changed, for she has now to do an emergency dash to shop at Baldwins, an equally beloved Herbalists on the Walworth Road, who stock Christine's Swedish Bitters. Thank goodness.
The shy is pale beige-grey, not a colour she is very fond of but it was like this yesterday morning at about the same time but however, it turned into a crackin' day to be sure.
So she's got to get going off down to the Elephant & Castle, there is a single decker bus that will take her all the way, she just has to catch it. A book will be taken and she'll resist the urge to get off at the Imperial War Museum, for this wonderful museum must have an exhibition on to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the battle that got rid of Napoleon Bonaparte once and for all.
She'll go next week and she'll go to the National Portrait Gallery as well to look at the new exhibition of photographs of Audrey Hepburn. The article she read in todays' Guardian is fair, she thinks.
But now, clutching her sore and bloated tumtum, she's off to catch the bus to the Elephant. I'm going to doze and perhaps slurp a morsel of cheesy omelette that might be found on Beaky, if I'm lucky.
GeeGee Parrot.
