Good day Bloggets. Firstly, my love to Patricia and her
family.
Today we say hello to
The Netherlands, India, South Africa, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, US, and
everyone else who is reading. We had Burma earlier this week, I would love to
know who you guys are? You visit this page from time to time. I would love to
know what brings you here? Japan has been this week too, it’s been a while
since I saw you. Japan may have been reading, but this week is the first time
they appeared in the top ten of readers.
I have just got in from our small street group. Five of us
get together every month. Today was the turn of our Neighbour to host. Everyone
looks forward to having lunch at hers. Why? Normally because she makes
delicious Indian food. But today she decided to make typical English food. I
think her eldest daughter who is the same age as our Boy Wonder, so, 21, told
her Mum she was very brave. I think that was a polite way of saying crazy…
serving typical English food to English people. Haha. Gosh, our neighbour could
cook baked beans from a can and they would taste lovely.
Well today she made quiche. That is a pastry base cook
slightly first putting on top of the pastry some foil with either rice or those
cooking beans you can buy. Not the kind you eat, just the ones that keeps the
pastry from rising. But then you remove them. Whilst that is cooking,
you make your ingredients. Whisk at least four eggs. Add a little milk and tiny
bit of cream. Salt, pepper and then whatever. I put in red peppers chopped
finely. Mushrooms onions, tomatoes and loads of cheese. You don’t cover the
top, it’s left open. Put in the oven to finish cooking obviously removing the
foil etc. she also did sandwiches and two home made cakes. One was a banana loaf
and the other a sandwich cake with cream and raspberry jam. She made my
absolute favourite to drink. Ginger tea. She is a lovely host. It’s a nice
group. I always feel good when I return home.
We got on to talking about eyes. Everyone in that room needs
glasses. Well, apart from me, haha, aren’t I the lucky one? You would have
laughed. Well maybe you wouldn’t but I smiled. One of our neighbours is sweet,
she always tells me what pictures are getting handed around. Not to leave me
out. So, our Neighbour who is an Indian lady, said she would love blue eyes, I told
her to get blue contact lenses. When I could see, I had them. They made my eyes
really light blue, I loved them. My other neighbour said she, our Indian
neighbour wouldn’t suit them. I said oh, I think they would look really good. Well
our neighbour tried to tell me in her little way, that my Neighbour was dark
skinned. Hahaha. As if I didn’t know? Bless her though, just as I was told
yesterday that a lady was learning a lot from me, I’m learning a lot about
sighted people. Mainly how little they understand about people who are blind. I
said I know she has, so that is why I think blue eyes would look so nice with
dark skin.
It’s my turn to host next month. It started where by we ate
small snacks… Now it’s turning into a blooming Women’s Institute cooking competition.
Hopefully my stories and laughs will put me in the running for others wanting
to come here as I’m not a cake cook, in fact I really don’t have the confidence
even to cook a quiche, though Hub said I make the best one next to his Mum.
Bless her, when she was alive, I didn’t dare cook one as I knew Hub thought so
much of her quiches. But one day I did, and he went quiet for so long, too
long. Time seemed to freeze. He ate another mouthful then said. “Yep, that’s up
there with Mums.”” Few thank goodness for that. But not sure I dare do one for
the ladies. Last time our neighbour Wendy made an amazing cake. A lemon sponge
cake with delicious butter icing. Yum. So, what to cook? Well I shall tell you
when we get near the date.
Outside it’s raining it’s cold and dark. It’s only half four
in the afternoon. It’s more like 7 pm on a winter night.
Going back to the lady yesterday who said she is learning a
lot from me… I asked her what had she learned? No, nothing with regards physics
or computer science, but, now wait for this, as Bloggets, I’m sure after
hearing or seeing what I have managed to teach someone with my vast knowledge
and ability to explain things in lectures I give, now when you learn what I can
teach you, don’t all rush at once to get in a queue to attend one of my life lesson
classes….
She has learned. (How fast I can walk upstairs)
Hehehehehhhehahahehehehehehahhehehhehahhaha.
Oh, I do like to impress.
I often wonder why I was put on this earth, but I think
yesterday my question was answered…
Yep Bloggets, I walk up stairs quickly…
To be honest it’s been three weeks since I went out for a
walk. I haven’t seen Pip for a few weeks. I miss our walks, though I do need to
walk longer and faster and do have to get into walking at least three times per
week. But since I haven’t been out for a while, my legs are starting to hurt
again. Remember when I was going through hell with pains? Well they went during
the summer. It was like a miracle. I thought I would be in a wheelchair before
Christmas. It got that bad. I didn’t know what was wrong with me then I started
to do Yoga and my teacher told me my muscles had shortened. I couldn’t believe
that walking made such a difference. Before I get really bad again, I need to
do something drastic.
OK, I shall go for now and start dinner. I have made a soup
today for BW. Hub will have a simple sausage sandwich. They are chicken
sausages with herbs. Thursdays is my night off serious cooking as we have the
pub quiz later. See how badly we can do tonight. I love to go though, I’m not
too sure Hub likes or deals with the humiliation. He’s not used to failing. Hahha.
I can teach him so much with regards that subject. Including how fast to walk upstairs…
Laters with love.
