Unfortunately, we have to venture out to visit Mother, who has the bag on with me 'cos we didn't go down yesterday. Iffy joints a la moi and daughter who is suffering from cramp sort of makes your mind up to stay put...especially when it takes me ten minutes to put one boot on!!! Junior titters at the sight of her old Ma rolling round and cursing, fighting these boots, 'cos she isn't as supple as she once was, going red in the face, etc. Have to put these boots on to go out nowadays. Slip on flatties are a no no in this cold, even with three pairs of socks!! I'm taking a daily health supplement that the chemist recommended, but says it will take a couple of months to get me feeling better so, until then....I think thermals might be in order to keep the joints happier:o) The old-fashioned haberdashery shops are no more around here, which is a shame 'cos they were an Alladin's cave, full of the useful things that you don't find in the high street shops nowadays. Have been explaining the virtues of bloomers to Junior. lol She still prefers leggings.
Daughter is into watching a maths type programme of late. ..and some strategy games. Suits me:o)) I was waddling around WHS a few weeks ago and spotted their book deals. I love books. There's something safe about them. There were some great offers on educational stuff, so I got a huge encyclopedia of the Earth for a fiver. Bargain!! It's like a doorstop!! I was going to wrap it up for Crimble (present from the Ho Ho Ho HE fairy) but she eyeballed it before I could say sellotape!! So, she's going to do an hour a day on a subject of her choosing, which I think will be geology based to start with:o)) Where can you dig for precious stones in Hill Billy Land? Guess who ooos and aaaahs at Gems tv? lol
Re our cooking list from the other day. Soup and the veggie pasties are on the agenda today. Maybe bread, but that'll be cheating via the breadmaker. Not enough hours in the day!!
