MICE & MEN, what is she talking about, I know you're all saying this, 'cos I thought it myself.
In my last post I said that she was getting up and starting her life again, well, that was until she was sick! Yes, and felt like a block of ice again.
So she decided not to push her luck as it was a. cold and b. pouring with rain, so she washed, changed her nightdress and went back to bed with a thermos of ginger and lemon juice.
Talk about very snory-boring but at least she has not been sick since yesterday morning and she's now treating this whole episode as a Spring Fast. For apart from a few cups of broth and pints of hot ginger, she now hasn't eaten anything since those two eggs on Thursday morning.
And you know how she likes her food, as do I. I haven't eaten human food since last Wednesday, I don't count those morning boiled eggs she cooks for me every day as food, they're fast breaking yumyum.

Strangely enough, she isn't hungry. Mind you, she is drinking a huge amount of fluid and is busy, for we've been watching some superb television.
Last night's programme on the making of The Art Collection of King Charles 1st's exhibition* on BBC4 was wonderful. We also watched an American programme on a team who restore old log cabins.
Tonight we have watched a BBC2 programme on New York - America's busiest city. Lots of very different subjects.. bee hives on a 61st floor, the Fish Market, the brilliant way the old Staten Island landfill has been regenerated.
'Urban Agriculture', created in 1998, has 200
vegetable gardens spread throughout the city and
they produce a staggering tonnage of fresh food specifically for low income families. A lovely, incredible success story.
Tomorrow she's getting up, because she knows that she's not infectious and has a date to meet Pat for a coffee. She has some wonderful linen to give her and in return, Pat is going to knit her a couple of sweaters from wool that she brought from her charity shop.
She'll eat something light, probably rice and steamed vegetables for supper tomorrow.
On Wednesday she's having supper with Tereza after working at the charity shop and watching the last episodes of 'The Marvellous Mrs. Meisel. I'm not going to the shop this week, then she's having lunch with Ann at the V&A on Friday and they're going to see the 'Balenciaga' exhibition.
On Saturday, unless it is 'tipping' down with rain, she and Dean are going to work at the allotments, there's rubbish that they need to load into a giant Hippo bag and take to the dump over Chiswick Bridge.
And that brings us up to next Sunday.. but we will be back way before then. Dinna fret.
GeeGee Parrot.
