PARDON ME MY ABSENCE.. LAPTOP CAUGHT A VIRUS!

Poor thing, it was ick-dick! She couldn't treat it with Cinnamon oil, so ran a virus scan and all manner of things, eventually it 'burped' out the naughty virus and everything settled down. 

This, I might add, was inspite of having a current and up to date anti-virus system!

She knows what website it came off, she wanted to watch the first episode of Battle Chefs, something else was piggy-backing onto this site and before you could say "oh no", there was a nasty red scammers notice on her screen and an annoying woman repeatedly telling her to call a number.

'Not on your nelly', she thought, went to Settings and ran a number of things to make quite sure the anti-virus system had got rid of them. Wretched people.. grrr.

Anyway, that was Wednesday morning. She got dressed in outdoor clothes and went off to work, the rain was torrential, I whined about not going to the shop but when she came and told me what a foul day it had been, I was 'quite' glad that I hadn't been out in it!

Yesterday was cold.. she was out for a few hours 
without a hat.. why?.. her head was freezing when she returned, not a pleasant place to sit! 

And today, well, it was like being on a different planet! Old man Sun had his torch on high beam and it was warm! Not warm enough for a mad parrot who takes her clothes off but warm enough for a mad woman to go outdoors and garden.

She came back with a handful of delicious leaves. You don't have to pick a whole cabbage, a few outer leaves with some leaves of ruby chard were enough, they were steamed on top of our rice which she cooked in homemade chicken broth.

Our lubblyjubbly butcher sells four chicken carcasses and leg bones for £1.00. They've a lot of meat left on them plus giblets, she puts them into a stock pot, it's topped up with cold water, adds ginger and turmeric roots, carrots, onions, spices, salt and pepper, the pot boils, then simmers for several hours. It makes wonderful stock / soup.

Tomorrow is due to be dry and sunny. I'm staying here, she's off to work at the garden, for there's much to do with many things to plant! 

Sunday is the Chinese New Year, she's off to meet 
up with the Goaty girl! Aka Debbie at Parson's Green Farmer's Market. 

And she has to change her library books as she's finished the last lot and a woman can't have nothing to read, can she?

That's it folks, we are having an early night, so I wish you all a very pleasant weekend.. wherever you may be.

GeeGee Parrot.
