Not certain that this follow-up should be in the good news thread, but being an optimist, here we go -
All the above went well, apart from dining alone!
Last night was fairly eventful - my wife had some sort of gastric reaction to Saturdayâs braised pintade (she thinks it was too rich for her delicate S African stomach). In the middle of the night, en route to the bathroom to get her a basin to throw up in, I stepped in some dog shit and then found two different lots of vomit. Trying to reconstruct what happened, I think Tigre, our cat caught some rodent, ate and regurgitated it, Gigi (who has a strict kibble only diet) found and ate whatever Tigre hadnât eaten and then expelled it at both ends. Naturally, Iâm assuming my wifeâs condition is not rodent related.
Today nos animaux de compagnie are fine, whereas Madame has only managed a tiny slice of sourdough topped with four tiny slices of banana and a pill from the emergency pharmacie.
Being postive, thereâs more of the paleron left to pull tomorrow and because I was dining alone, I could eat slightly later and follow the whole of the remarkable United / Arsenal match.
Lastly, I think sleep tonight and food tomorrow will sort out the invalid. We were going to have the rest of the pintade for dinner, but instead, one of us might be on poached cod and some other super bland stuff
Of course this means more pintade for me, so overall, this postâs probably just about in the right threadâŠ
All I can say to that is that at least you didnât slip in rhe dog (or cat) vomit. Very Inspector Clouseau reconstructing that
Donât tell your wife till youâve finished the pintade but, if you cooked it properly through and none of this pink-cooking rubbish some idiots go for, the pintade is slmost ceetainly not the cause of your wifeâs miseries. Itâs barely stronger than a proper chicken. I would look elsewhere for the cause
FYI there is a great deal of gastro flu doing the rounds everywhere at the moment and it takes a while to appear so I think the pintarde is safe. We. have all had it recently, my granddaughter had Flu type A & type B together the week before last and was very ill but the doctor said it prooved our flu vaccine worked as we did not get it but now its coughs and colds everywhere again. You donât need to avoid crowds because it only takes one person to infect another if they are selfish to go out when feeling bad.
just posted off our âadherence/inscriptionâ for a summer jaunt with car club pals.
Three days spend with good friends, discovering new places and enjoying fabulous food! Hurrah.. itâs nice to have a bright light at the end of todayâs somewhat dark tunnel
I was very impressed at the convenience and ease of recycling my old mobile, using the Emmaus partner network. Clear instructions for wiping phone of all data etc, prepaid label to stick on envelope,.and off it goes. Theyâve recycled 500,000 phones this way and it gives employment to 6 people.
Iâm being let out of hospital today after my second op. I hope to stay out this time. My arm feels a lot better than it did after the first op so I hope thatâs a good sign.
Itâs not easy to get information and they booked me an ambulance without asking. OH is coming to collect me so theyâve cancelled that.
I could have had that, I wanted an ambulance but they brought me a taxi, which cost me 125 âŹ, unrefundable by insurance which wouldnât accept a post journey ordonnance from my doctor.
Got my fingers crossed itâs finally fixed and soon back in full working order Jennifer. Youâll be glad to get back to the comfort of your own home and back to normal.
Well, I hadnât realised that the âreally cheerful newsâ is that I donât have a robot cleaner
On the seriously cheerful side⊠just got back from a stroll to the Bins and counted nigh on 30 sheep up in the upper field⊠happily munching away on the green green grass (of home). Lambing soon and they need to eat for two
Having previously posted in the âNot applicable in the Cheerful Newsâ thread that we had to abort our trip to Lidl last Saturday as they were closed due to blocked entrance by protesting farmers having left their tyres, soil and hay all over the carpark and entrance to the store, today we managed to get into the carpark and do some shopping.
Luckily enough they still had some kouign amann for sale on promo. I had already checked on the internet that it is possible to freeze it so I bought 4 - one to eat over the next few days and the others will be portioned and put in the freezer for another time.
I tried a sliver of it âau naturelâ and another sliver I put in the microwave for 5 seconds to warm it up. I prefer the warmed version but must make sure I only eat a small piece at a time.
It is very (very) moreish and I could easily be tempted to have a larger slice
