Happy Birthday to Me

The latest vegetable box contained potatoes and onions plus some lovely new carrots, two kohl rabi, a handful of courgettes, a bag of broad beans and a bag of broccoli. The fruit was 2 apples, 2 oranges, 2 kiwi fruit and a banana. Once again the delivery arrived after I had left for my physiotherapy class, however our wonderful House Manager took the bags in and gave the driver the 3 weeks' worth of empty bags and 3 weeks' worth of cheques.

Today I am another year older, which must be worth some sort of congratulations. I have had a lovely day, with a smashing present from TBSITW - a raffia pig filled with flowers. You might see the point of this if I tell you that she was born in the Chinese Year of the Pig. Le Chef gave me a mug from Culross Abbey to remind me of the wonderful choir there recently.

I should say that I had asked for photographs of everyone to expand my "rogues gallery", and elder son gave me a rather good photo frame which can hold 7 small photos.

TBSITW arrived just before 12, closely followed by the chiropodist (too much information) and then we went to a super farm shop between her home and daughter's home. We had a grand lunch and daughter gave me a lovely necklace of the kind that you put over your head, then double it round and put it over your head again. It was very thoughtful as she knows the difficulty I have with my hands. Her two sons gave me a photo frame (with the requested photo to follow at some point.)

The farm shop was good and I am glad to know how to get there. I didn't spend too much money as I had been shopping at the end of my week away.

After that we went to Sainsbury's - this may sound like nothing, but we have no access to any supermarket apart from A*** and T**** so I bought a few more things.

Now why did I forget kitchen roll?

An easy meal tonight after such a great day and tomorrow I have to start on a washing and a cook-in of lovely mince.
