Bonjour / Good Morning to all. What a grizzly day it is today (grey and drizzle)
our lovely sun and blue sky has vanished overnight, which has set the agenda for today - a quiet day at chez nous
Fortunately we had our lunchy yesterday so don't feel deprived
I have this week used a new 'venture' - a local château has opened it's doors for local producers of fruit, veg, meat, bread, dairy products, honey etc. I registered with their site on line, placed an order on Sunday and collected it early evening Wednesday. This is a lot easier for me than having to go to the market or shop, the produce is good, very fresh and not badly priced, in fact in some instances the prices are extremely competitive with even the larger outlets. For the moment, because it is very new, the service is available fortnightly, this might increase to weekly if it is well supported. So with this, my 'mobile shop' that come to the house every week, and my on line order for heavy goods which I collect and is loaded/unloaded by someone else - it's all working out well. To add to the convenience, I have now been officially 'stamped'
'handicapped' and have received a parking permit so that I can park in the disabled areas. Gosh, I never dreamed that one day I would have one of those ...makes one think !
My blood results were fine again ....I now have another one in February, before my next nuclear scan on the 26th .....so far so good
Has any one watched the series Last Tango in Halifax ?; we didn't watch it on TV, but have since bought the DVD's series one and two .. love it .. high class acting, funny and sad, together with the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales (and that's from someone with Lancashire roots
) I always preferred the Dales to the Lake District, but shhhhhhh don't tell anyone in Lancashire
- excellent series !
A little white dog is pestering me at the moment, it must be his lunch time
it seems to get earlier every day
He has been having antibiotics for the past eight days, which I have hidden in small quenelles of salmon rillettes (pate) He is quite disappointed that he's finished them, but his throat/cough is cured !
I had better heed his pestering (he's just slightly spoilt
)
Take care all - enjoy your day
