Well, we had a lovely meal yesterday. Mind you, I should have asked for a Pensioner Portion as when it arrived it was enormous - a Sunday roast and 5 veg, piled high and topped with a big Yorkshire. I chose lamb, and the girls had beef, and we asked for a small dish of chicken for Rosie. She has a cold with a temperature, but managed some beef, which surprised Tam. All the mums were given a little goody bag with a Lindor chocolate and complementary skin care samples.
This was the dessert - Rhubarb Frangipane tart with a Blood Orange sorbet hiding behind the slice of Blood Orange. The jus was lovely too. Really tasty and the prettiest dessert I've ever had. Lovely staff too. Definitely a pub to return to.
Rosie was pretty good and when she got fed up, we took it in turns to take her for walks up the pub (or rather, ran off after her!)
I was worried about her temperature but Tam said it broke around 4 a.m. and she began asking for food. Phew. You never know which way temperatures are going to go in little ones.
Her leg . . . well, the final diagnosis was Reactive Arthritis! This comes on from a tummy bug or from a chest infection/bad cold. She's had plenty of nasty colds this winter. She can't bend that leg because it hurts but it doesn't seem to slow her down and she can make good speed still, despite it. It is due to bacteria from an infection getting into the joint and should gradually dissipate over the next 3 - 9 mths. They will be seeing a specialist consultant, but may need to travel to Carmarthen for that. A worry though. We never realized that children that young could have arthritis.
She agrees with the cats, that boxes have more than one purpose! I wondered where my washing up gloves got to . . .
I will have to go in search of cat food the cats will eat today. I have 4 different types of biscuits, and Whiskas and Felix sachets but they are all being SO picky, especially Alfie who won't touch the specially bought Urinary care biscuits (£26 down the drain as they will go to the animal shelter now.) No fish, they are telling me, meat in gravy only.
