Do you have a food that you really love? She, poor dear, loves rye bread and Oliver's, the bakers who have many stalls at our Farmer's Markets here in London, make an exceedingly fine rye loaf.
However, if you're a regular reader of my blog, you will know that she is allergic to gluten, it triggers her arthritis and the joints in her fingers of her right hand swell alarmingly.
But, as you know, there is 'one born every minute' and old numb-skull thought she would just have a 'little bit' of the loaf she took to lunch on Sunday.
Huh.. she ate half of it! Getting the ring off that she had worn at the weekend was an extremely painful operation.
So no more bread, Johnny had given her the loaf but she passed it onto Pat yesterday morning when they met to discuss wools and patterns.
I should say..Wool, patterns and needles! For Pat's face, when she brought out the enormous bag of beautiful and unused wooden knitting needles, was a picture!

"They're £11.00 a pair for the thinner ones and who knows how much for the huge ones and are just what I need for your blue sweater with the red detail, isn't it just amazing what people donate?"
It was well after 1.00pm that they parted, Pat to go home taking the knitting swag and mama to do a bit of shopping in the market.
Poundland had the new Vanish Platinum gel in stock! For getting white cotton or linen to be brilliant white again without using bleach, which isn't kind to fabrics, this stuff is amazing!
As is Surf Black.. for guess what? Yes, Black fabrics! The Co-Op had this, which she uses for black undies, t.shirts and jeans, on at a special offer of £2.93.
Four ruby red grapefruits, seven crunchy apples, beetroots, a box of eggs all went 'plop' into WW and they turned for home.
The fine and sunny weather that we had over the weekend is but a memory for it was cold and wet. And, it's cold and wet again today. At some point she going to see Sothebys and Christie's, the auction houses but that won't happen today.
She wants to see the collection of King Charles 1st art which is on show at the Royal Academy. And as Chinatown is but a five minute walk from there, she may well slide into a restaurant and eat Chinese yumyum, in order to celebrate their New Year.
Now, I need LapySang tea and she needs to start her day.. pippip.
GeeGee Parrot.
