I was up and running this morning, the moment I opened my eyes and saw it was 8.10. The GP's surgery opens at 8.15 to take calls and make appointments and Keith needed an appointment. He has been sleeping badly over Christmas (which means I have too) and we needed some advice about changing his medication. Unfortunately, only the PD nurse can do that and we are waiting to get a reply from our message to her before Christmas. Instead Keith has different medication to help him sleep if he has a bad night.
A cheering-me-up picture - a reminder that it won't always be winter! (The Elan Valley).So, having spent the morning getting ready for/at the Dr's/Pharmacy, I came home and tried a power nap. Nothing doing as two kittens were using me as a speedway as they hurtled up and down the gym (e.g. sofa!) I went back down and collected the prescriptions and as we watched an Hercule Poirot film (Evil under the Sun), I did fall asleep though I woke up just in time to find out who done it.
This was the vegetarian option for Danny's girlfriend on Christmas Day. Mostly made by Tam to a recipe from BBC good food's Homemade Christmas magazine, this is Squash, Winter Herb and Crispy Butter Bean Pie. It called for 3 HEADS of Garlic. That is the entire bulb x 3, not 3 cloves!! It went down very well.
Off to put my feet up now. From tomorrow, various Christmassy bits will gradually be taken down and put away for another year, but I will leave the tree until after New Year's day as it hasn't been in long.
