At last I can come
and have a chat with you. I’m making a casserole for dinner tonight. Cooking it
really slowly. It was quite easy to do as our shopping has just arrived well a
few hours ago so didn’t have to go searching. Sweet potatoes, carrots, potatoes,
mushrooms, garlic, peas, fresh ginger too as well as loads of fresh herbs some
vegetable stock and a tin of tomatoes. So it’s been cooking slowly for an hour
and in another hour I will take it out the oven using my wonderful oven gloves
my friend Mary bought me from America. I wish we could buy these in the UK they
are amazing. Plain white but proper gloves with fingers. If you can’t see, you
need to be able to have your fingers free and if they are in a mit, it’s no
good. These gloves are the safest I have ever used in my life. So when I bring the pot from the oven, I will
stir and add toasted almonds and of course I added salt and pepper for more
taste. Then I will put it back in the oven for another hour or so. Take the lid
off and turn it up for a short time. I’m going to make dumplings with it.
Two, tin, tuna, teen has gone to work. I had to send him a
text as he forgot to put his tins in the bin after making his lunch. If he is
using two tins every day he is costing me a fortune. So a text to two tinned
teen smile. I made his breakfast for a treat today. Normally he does it. He had
muffins with melted cheese tomato and I made scrambled eggs to go with it. Then
we both had a bowl of cereal. It’s a new one and was expensive but on offer at
the time of purchase. For a tiny box it was originally £4. That is shocking
there is about five bowls in there. But
it’s so good I’m not a fan of serial but this is lovely it has pine nuts in and
loads of seeds. I adore pine nuts.
Teen not back till nine tonight. So a long day for him. Hub is
at Peterborough so again a long day for him too. He got up at six this morning
and left the house with LF at seven. Hopefully that place is coming to an end
as they are close to finding a new manager. I hope they do soon.
So browsing the news today what did I find?
Junior Doctors are to strike again. Really annoying me now.
Cancelling another five thousand operations. So in total since the dispute
started, 25,000 operations have been cancelled. OK you work long hours so do
many people and not for what you get paid eventually either.
From today in the UK it is law to have all dogs
microchipped. If caught without there is a £500 fine.
Allowing female soldiers to fight on the front line would be
a huge mistake said ex-army chief.
The American singer, Janet Jackson is planning a family. How
old is she? Seriously? Also I heard she has cancer?
Paris Jackson, Michael Jacksons daughter turned 18 and has
had a tattoo of her Dad to honour him. “Let’s hope she will do better than that
to show respect and live a good clean life. Poor kid has lost her Dad and as
for her Mother?
OK Bloggets, are you ready for this one? A study has shown
that humans have been turned on by robots. The robots have been telling the
humans in the study to “Please touch my buttocks.”
This is a disgrace. A 55 year old Grandmother has given
birth to triplets in the UK. Well, nice one Granny you really have thought of
your children haven’t you?
I can’t stress enough what a challenge it is for a child to
have old parents. I’m not saying they make bad parents, I’m sure they are
better as a lot of Grandparents are better to their grandchildren than they
were to their own kids, but, you at 60 have to take your child to school and
stand with Mum and Dads in their twenties. Your child is made fun of because of
the age of the Mother. Your child constantly is worried thinking their Mum is
going to die. A massive age gap between child and parent seems to a child so
much bigger. You as an elderly parent are going to leave your child too young.
I was thirty when my Mum died and it was far too early. People should have
their parents till the kids are about fifty. There are still days when I so
need my Mum. I also believe strongly that a child should have their gran
parents. Grandparents are as important as parents I’m sure of this. To get the
best out of your child.
OK going now to take a hot chocolate then iron. Hmm may need
to chill first though and write a poem. That last story has just wound me up.
Later gators. X
