Two good happenings

[tonicha]

First one, I checked our bank in the hope that the pension money had gone in, even though the very nice lady said it would be Friday at the earliest - and it was there

Just had a phone call from the hospital to say that they are going to remove that lump on the inside of my eye-lid on 28 January

Not looking forward to that bit, but I am, in a strange kinda way

So we've been shopping stocked up on beer, wine and brandy for Grumpy and food stuff for me.

I'm now going to make butternut squash soup, spinach soup, a large chilli and a large shepherds pie and a vast pork stew. The stew will be for the week-end, the rest for the now empty freezer Amazing how much space al lthat ice took up

that IS fantastic news Ton; you must be very relieve the money is in your account at long last.

And as for the eye - better get it over and done with then you can focus on having fun the rest of the year Enjoy the cooking up a storm and filling the freezer

Thank you all xxxxxx

Oddly, I feel quite happy about the op (the 3rd in a year ) as I really really want this one sorted out pronto. When I saw the rather gorgeous Dr Cesear, he said it might be as long as March, so I'm doubly happy.

No, our Fudgie, not a chance - your lot won last night, make that do

And we've decided to go to the Alentejo for a few days next month too Now that is really something to look forward to
