No, I'm not talking about her neck, she doesn't have a 'turkey' neck, that's for sure, both Dr. Katherine and Valerie have remarked upon the appearance of her neck which certainly doesn't tell her true age!
No, I'm talking about the necks which came from three mighty large beasts, they're now in a large stock pot with garlic, carrots, hamburg parsley roots and a large leek together with a goodly amount of seasoning. Simmering slowly, the end result will be a wonderful rich turkey meat and vegetable soup! Slurp! And I'll get the neck bones to munch.
Well, that's the good news in this post! Now for all the rest!
It was wet today.. very wet indeed! Luckily it was already raining when she ventured forth at midday so she was wearing a rainproof jacket and there was an umbrella was in her hand, she didn't fool around with buses but went straight underground heading for Oxford Street.
But, oh dearie me, she was sorely disappointed by the choice available in John Lewis's flooring department, they may have the best fitters but they have the dullest and the smallest selection of bathroom flooring!
Thank goodness for the Greek guy on the North End Road, for he stocks pretty stuff and at very reasonable prices, even old CarpetRight have a prettier selection of vinyls than John Lewis and they certainly have much better prices, that's for sure!
So now you know it was wet today and wet weather equals cooler weather and today is the first day of October and it was a little chilly-billy, so she turned the Combi-Boiler onto hot water plus heating.. except the heating didn't turn on. The flipping pressure had dropped like a stone and the boiler is now not producing anything, not even hot water.
Oh, she's mighty bored with this farce. What else did those numpty builders do? Did they disconnect another radiator? She'll have to call / email the landlord on Monday and hopes that Richard will be able to come and kick the f'ing thing into touch.. aka go!
Oh! What a jolly thing to look forward to! Two days of no hot water or heating. Thank goodness for: kettle, gas cooker, wool sweaters, socks and, of course, me to keep her head warm whilst she taps iPad or watches television.
Now onto hives!
I know you're thinking of lots of happy buzzing bees buzzing about making honey! Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but I am talking about her hives, yes, she presently is covered in hives (!) and all because of a cereal company.
She had been eating it, her usual oat cereal, for several days and wondered why she felt weird, as in strange. She knew she wasn't eating any of the dreaded nightshade family and hadn't eaten, or so she thought, any wheat. Until the hives arrived this week and settled in to spring out all over her!
Every bit of her..
And as she knew the only thing she was eating that wasn't raw was the cereal, she picked up the packet and saw to her anger and horror that the greedy company has changed the ingredients and has slipped in toasted wheat flakes.
So it's these wretched flakes that are causing her skin to erupt in these awfully ugly and terribly painful sores. But thank God for her darling Lebanese friend, who saw one of these painful sores on the inside of her wrist and flew upstairs to fetch a tube of some wonderfully soothing gel with which she proceeded to cover my mum in.. such bliss.
Now she has to wait for the poison to leave her system.. oh, and beware those of you who are unable to tolerate wheat.. it's in instant coffee. No, we kid you not.
We are off.. there is lots of work to do because she has to completely empty the bathroom, because Richard is coming in on Wednesday to dig out the wet bathroom concrete floor.. oh, more joy! Joke.
GeeGee Parrot.
