Blimey! We thought it was a bit parky aka chilly-billy last night and it was! There was a frost last night but not half as bad as what we are due for tonight, for the Met Office has issued a severe frost warning and of zero degrees for tonight. It is a very good thing she went food shopping yesterday and didn't go planting out our lettuce seedlings at the allotment, isn't it?
Meanwhile the world has been rocked, literally, by earthquakes. Japan had a coupleof horrifying ones this week with losses of life this week and the coastal region of Ecuador has been devastated by a big one with a loss of over two hundred lives and with the shock waves being felt three hundred miles away in Columbia.
Scary things which cause terrifying amounts of damage in the space of a nano-second. We feel sorrow for those countries that have these faults running through them.. there has been a lot of activity ot these plate faults recently and are praying that a 'monster' isn't just about to occur.
We are also praying for the health of a friend.. young Joe.. to differentiate him from old Joe who is another friend of ours.. one of his lungs collapsed last week, he is back home, being watched 24 x 7 by his family and not allowed to do anything.. very dreary stuff not being allowed to do anything.. you get sick of listening to the radio and even the written word becomes boring after a while.
We're already in bed! Or rather, she's in bed with a hot pad as it is a miserably cold evening and she sees no point in pretending to be a 'grown-up' and sitting in state in the sitting room. And I'm being fed walnuts, I love walnuts and gobble them as fast as I can, the first half she gives me I take to the bottom of the bed and eat there, the rest I munch happily whilst perching on a knee.
Walnuts bits go everywhere.. huh.. hum.. but she scrapes them up, puts them back into a dish and they get scattered on my yumyum dish in my night house. We waste not in our house.
Weigh-in day tomorrow, no naughty cakes have been consumed, no Lebanese yumyums have slipped down her throat, the pasta and panna cotta that she ate last Tuesday must, surely, have wiggled its' way through her system by now and she hasn't eaten illegal amounts of toast and marmite.. much as she's wanted to!
For on cold dreary days, Marmite on toast is what we love, especially if we have even a minute scrapping of goaty curd to put on top as well. We feel sorry for those of you who have never eaten Ellies' goaty curd, for it is truly a delicious thing.
She'll be getting a supply on Friday when she lunches with Debbie Goaty Mum at Borough Market, Malaysian Selina is there with both her dumplings AND noodlie-doodles! Those are guaranteed to keep your throat warm and your sinuses open!
Weigh-in tomorrow, Gastro-Enterologist specialist on Tuesday, aromatherapy with Valerie Worwood on Wednesday, building contractor here at 09.30am on Thursday, with hopefully being able to go to the allotments afterwards if it isn't either freezing or chucking it down with rain and then lunch at Borough Market on Friday.. that's her week.
Me? I'm staying here being sprayed twice a day with this homeopathic stuff. Such is life. I hope your week is more like hers? I supposed I could go and sit on Joes' head, he's not allowed to do anything so I could just doze all day long but how could I get there, for it would be a bit chilly-billy flying down to his house near to Folkestone with no clothes on.
Ah well, whoops, time for bed, enjoy your week Dear Readers whatever you have got planned.
GeeGee Parrot.
