I've been suffering the effects of a bad cold this last week, which is why you've not heard from me, and now it's going, I'm back and ready to chat again!
We had breakfast out this morning at a favourite local eatery and, with the morning newspapers to read, spent an enjoyable time, despite having to wait for our order to be delivered. This was most unusual and, as soon as it was realised, the staff hurried to send our missing breakfast to our table; and I had an extra Latte by way of apology, which was most acceptable!
The place was packed with chattering, hungry people, determined to get out of the cold wintry, snowy morning, for tiny, whirling flakes were desperately trying to settle. However, I really don't think they will, and not to-day, at any rate!
We had friends to dinner mid-week, despite my achy head, and it was good fun. I cooked pork chops, apples and leeks, with a tablespoon of quince jelly, in the pressure cooker for ten minutes, and they were delicious, and with them served creamy mashed potatoes and fresh green cabbage. The evening was a great success.
Alice and I have just been out for a walk and those pesky snow flakes are still trying hard to settle but happily, I don't think they will, in spite of their busy presence, thank goodness.
But, oh my, it's so cold...will spring never back?
We've been watching our rugby team this weekend and delighted they won their match against the French team and I'm sure my son in Australia will have been more than happy to see the match, and rejoiced. My young grandson has become an enthusiastic member of a Saturday morning "rugby" club and they spend their hour running about and playing various games, which he absolutely loves. He comes home quite tired out and has to have a mid-day nap, which my daughter and son-in-law find very therapeutic. Our little ones really do need to get out and about at the weekend to use up their energy; and they simply love it!
Next week is beginning to look busy, with me trying to complete tasks left undone because of my cold; well, you really cannot do too much when your head is aching and you're feeling below par, can you?
Cheerio for now
Daisy
