I’ve spent the day quietly.
I made a late lunch of salmon covered in dill yogurt with roasted new potatoes spiced with home made harissa.
I will treat myself to a McFlurry later, it only takes a few minutes to get one.
I’m in my pjs and have been all day.
I noticed that all of the 20 mph signs in the village have been defaced.
The village website is filled with keyboard warriors shouting the odds about it all.
My twin sister called around with more flowers. Like my elder sister did yesterday, she also bought me some Italian food . A selection of antipasto! ( my family loves ironic humour)
I had run out of vases so used my kimchi jar to house the sunflowers
But of course I don’t
Lywenna sent me some jam ,,perched by the front door.
I rearranged the living room furniture ( a favourite pastime of middle aged gay men), shampooed the carpet free of the contents of my beloved New York snow globe which had been broken when I was in London 😢 and have drunk several buckets of tea
It’s blustery and feels like autumn
I’m watching Ocean’s 11
It’s a classy watch
I love ironic humour too. You Brits have it in spades. Gigi
ReplyDeleteHaven’t we just xx
DeleteRearranging the living room furniture is also the pasttime of middle-aged straight women; I'm here to testify. My husband threatens to nail it down.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're safe and well. -Kate
It’s looking very cozy here
DeleteA change is always refreshing. I may never understand why it upsets some people (my taller half) as it does. -Kate
DeleteYour family have you taped John. Laughter is the best medicine though. Glad you have had a peaceful day. I have had my Covid Booster today and also my Flu jab and I have physio tomorrow. I think I planned things slightly wrong! I just wanted them out of the way with. I would dearly love to re-arrange things but do not have the room! Keep safe Pattypanx
ReplyDeleteYou too xx
DeleteIt's lovely that everyone is rallying round. You are very much loved.
ReplyDeleteI’m very lucky , I know it
DeleteSounds like a good day. I'm an old straight lady and I'm in the middle of rearranging my living room furniture. I think it's seasonal.
ReplyDeleteNaw that’s a bit of a gay man in you
DeleteGlad you are feeling better. Now I am craving salmon. Jackie
ReplyDeleteIt was bloody lovely
DeleteI live 13 miles from Manhattan. If you send me pix of your snow globe, I can try to find another one for you.
ReplyDeleteThat would be incredibly kind thank u
DeleteWell, I'm glad it's not just me. I was tempted to ask why you didn't make yourself something Italian for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI love the irony shown by bother sisters
DeleteI'm so glad you're feeling okay, f a bit fragile, and that family and friends are leeping your well sotcked in food and flowers. How anazing that all of your vases are full!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I only have four lol
DeleteI love that your tribe has rallied around. If ever was a testament of your importance to your corner of the world, this is it. You are loved.
ReplyDeleteIt’s important to have that hand on your shoulder sometimes
DeleteGood that you've had a day looking after yourself, and allowed others to do their bit, too. A few more days like that and you'll be ready to take on the world again! Shame about the snow globe. xx
ReplyDeleteYes it broke my heart a little
DeleteYour lunch sounded delicious, and followed by a McFlurry, yep, comfort food!
ReplyDeleteWe all need a bit of comfort food
DeleteYou eat too much bad food, Why on earth when it’s obvious you have weight related health issue would you have. Mc Donald’s products?
DeleteOne Mississippi,two Mississippi, three Mississippi.....
DeleteAs I always say to my husband when he worries about some unhealthy thing he's eating, "It's not like you're consuming it every day! Sheesh!" -Kate
DeleteSome see the 20mph zones as another way to control the population.
ReplyDeleteAin’t it grand that someone has offered to replace your NY snow globe
How can 20 mph zones control the population? Because it takes so long to drive home we're too tired for sex?
DeleteNow there’s a thought
DeleteI need to look up how to make harissa.. unless you are willing to share your recipe?
ReplyDeleteYou will need
Delete7 mild red chillis
2 large roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons tomato purée
5 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons coridander
I teaspoon caraway seeds crushed
Paprika ( tablespoon)
Salt
Pepper
Juice of one large lemon
Olive oil
Blitz together
Thanks!
DeleteIt feels like you're just done the lane. Have a lovely day John.
ReplyDeleteBack to normal tomorrow
DeleteHappy to hear you are back on track. If I were to leave food on my rock wall, the ants would carry it off.
ReplyDeleteHow generous the lady offered to try and find you another snow globe, people have good hearts.

Good to see Wales doing what South Ayrshire (and other places in Scotland) have done. It is a safety issue not pollution...I would rather be hit by someone going at 20, than someone at 30mph....and the injuries have reduced.
ReplyDeleteLess work for the NHS.
Great to see family and friends rallying round.
Grandma used to say If you can't move, Move the furniture....she was still doing that in her mid 90s....
Did Albert's ghost knock the snow globe off the mantel piece? I bet he did.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh ... snow-globe juice is not good is it, I always assumed it was simply water until I dropped my first one!!
