Today I shall be Mainly...

Yes I am Cathy, I can manage without but it's my insurance policy, I can't trust my balance! I think I am technically what is known as a 'fall risk'!
Sue, sorry to hear you have another cold. They seem to be dogging you! Do you take multivitamins? I used to think that I didn't need them because I had such a good diet but then realised that a combination of less vitamins in food and changes in my metabolism meant a change was perhaps needed so now I have Cod Liver Oil, a multivitamin and a K2/D3 vitamin tablet. I don't know if I actually need therm, all I can say is that I seem to be doing very well off them!
(I'd recommend the book "The Vitamin Murders: Who Killed Healthy Eating in Britain?" by James Fergusson, published in 2007.)

Later..... I have just finished cutting up my pork belly and putting it and the other ingredients (Oranges, onions spices and apple cider vinegar) into the slow cooker and then felt hungry. So I decided to scrub the shed and have breakfast instead.....The empire will not tremble on its foundations...

Morning

Yes Stanley I do take multivitamins and Codliver oil, but these will only help your immune system fight a cold not stop you getting one . I don’t know where I caught this one. Lucy had a cold two weeks ago but thats too long ago. It could have been at pilates, there are a lot of Primary school teachers in the group . They pick up colds frequently from the youngsters in their classes, a hazard of the job Anyway this seems like a classic two day streamer as I slept well, and do feel a bit better today though very tired.

We plan to go out to finish our Pendle Mystery book that we started in February. This evening we are taking Claire, Adam and Erin for a curry .

Have a good day all

Morning Sue, glad you are getting over the cold..... I had another four hours sleep and I'm considering a walk in the sun now.....

I decided I wanted some baby potatoes to extend my pork and while I was in the Co0op saw some 'beef strips' reduced on sell by date to £1.80 so I got them and have built a casserole of beef, onions, potatoes and peas. I shall compare the cost to ready meals at £4 a throw.....
