Storm Arwen is pushing down from the North Sea and we are expecting snow on high ground here in North Wales later today.
I’ve still not heard from the workman who is relining my chimney so the mobile oil heaters are the only things keeping me warm so far this winter.
I will chase him up today .
Yesterday I met a friend for lunch at Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias, which is a water sports centre along the coast. I love the recycled art work which has been commissioned to decorate the Promenade and public areas and especially love this cormorant made from recycled plastic, metal and rubber tyres.
Nights tonight, yesterday I lazily mooched a lovely lunch from the contents of the fridge…half a smoked bacon joint, caramelised in velvet Voiced Linda’s jam, garlic infused long beans and a jacket potato softened with turkey gravy .
Bloody lovely I’ve plated up leftovers for supper at work
The dogs adore the left over gravy sweetened with the jam infused juices from the bacon and have to given their share separately to stop spats.
I’ve been back to the doctors early this morning ….more double strength antibiotics more urine samples and more blood tests
Hey ho
I like the cormorant.
ReplyDeleteThis infection is very persistent. What a drag.
ReplyDeleteThe cormorant is great
Mobile oil heaters are expensive to run. You don't have central heating?
ReplyDeleteThe bird sculpture is terrific.
You must drink more water to flush out your bladder.
Hope you can get your heating sorted soon, it's definitely getting wintry now. The cormorant is fantastic. More antibiotics? Oh dear, John, this infection is certainly persistent! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the sculpture. And I love that it's made of recycled materials.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the infection cleared up pdq.
That cormorant made from recycled stuff is a great piece of public art. Sorry to hear that the urine infection has not yet been resigned to history.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? As usual - a lot. Instead of which I am eating a banana to stop the (verbal) diarrhoea (what an awful word to spell!).
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the water works and its pipelines,
U
The cormorant is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteHoping they get your infection sorted soon. Dragged on far too long. May you have some positive things come your way soon...like a relined chimney and a cozy fire in your fireplace. Take care.
ReplyDeleteNot a good time of year to be without your log burner, I hope things warm up for you soon. This urine infection is really lingering this time, I hope you can get on top of it once and for all.
ReplyDeleteAlan's super-sonically loud cough is back again, it's early this year it's usually January when it begins. It's that loud his neighbour phoned him last night to see if he was okay!!
You do know how to infuse adjectives. 😎😎
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more public art, (double check the spelling on that) and being made from recycled materials is a wonderful bonus for all. Take care, stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI liked your colorful description of your leftover feast! You do have a way with words, John! :)
ReplyDeleteMan, that's a persistent infection! I hope this round of antibiotics finally wipes it out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cormorant! I, too, love art created from imaginative folks.
ReplyDeleteHope the chimney liner is soon sorted and safe.
Yum! What delicious flavors you combined and the leftovers will certainly make a delightful dinner at work.
Bother you're still in need of more antibiotics and hope this batch knocks the infection out. Our older son always had to have a 3rd bottle of antibiotics for his ear infections. 3rd time's a charm?
Hugs!
That cormorant is good - very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteI know you make light of it but I knew you were not better - never mind rushing about - take it easy and keep warm.
Ugh hate infections.
ReplyDeleteLove the artwork, though. And recycled? Fab.
XOXO
I go along with everyone else. The cormorant is good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a meal fit for an American Thanksgiving :).
ReplyDeleteI salivated as I read your lunch menu and I don't even eat meat. You do eat well! Garlic infused long beans sound delish!
ReplyDeleteYou’re managing to eat like a king, AND eat healthily - that’s style! I hope the various pipes all get fixed very soon. Painful and expensive.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there were any leftovers at all.
ReplyDeleteI have looked and I wonder if eating yoghurt may help you and cider vinegar-as you are taking quite a lot of antibiotics x
ReplyDeleteYou are getting good followup on the infection and that's important. Your meals always sound so delicious. I share with my dog too. The sculpture is quite impressive. I agree with flis.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the various pipe works. B
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if your infection has developed some resistance to the antibiotic.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your professional approach.These are pieces of very useful information that will be of great use for me in future.

I'm sending good wishes, and I hope that soon that infection that's being so persistent will clear up.
ReplyDeleteThat cormorant is excellent. Would love to see the other works. Can’t believe you’re STILL on antibiotics.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a very cool piece of art! Sorry you haven't been feeling your best. I'm glad you got to the doctor, though.
ReplyDeleteWaterwork infections are the pits. I used to get them as a younger woman frequently.. I have avoided them recently which makes me grateful. I hope this round of AB's kick it over. Love the artwork. Cormorants are wonderful birds they sit on the rocks here wafting their wings dry. Loved the sound of your dinner.
