So I was left with nothing to do and I went down to look around the shops. Got myself a couple of bras that were on special, a pack of teatowels and a pair of sneakers for Em, she is so hard on clothes and shoes. Then I bought myself two tops in Rockmans to see me through the rest of the warm weather. Also got a new branch light, the other one got broken.
This is the message I sent to Kate last night.
"I sent your parcel today. However I forgot to take my glasses with me (my eye glasses) so I couldn't quite see what I was a) transcribing from my mobile phone where you'd sent your address and b) what the fuck I was writing. I also have fucking arthritis in my fucking hands so it was really hard to balance the pen on the little box to write your address. I had to ask the barkeep at the PO to make sure what I wrote was legible. If you get it, it was.
Getting old is entertaining if nothing else. I hobbled out to my car and once I found the right one, after an hour of looking, kangaroo hopped my way home (even though I drive an automatic).
Yeah so let me know when you get it k?"
She messsaged back that it made her laugh. I still miss her so much after almost five years. I always will I guess.
Our Autumn garden.

Couldn't get a decent shot of Puddin' Pie but her colouring is just like Harley Rose's.
So today has been a good day, I am eating right again and taking my supplements. I might see if Josh wants to go for a walk this afternoon.
I'm just having a cuppa and some tuna on crackers while I wait for school to get out. Tonight I am making Thai Chicken Patties, the recipe I found in a magazine at the hairdresser. We'll have it with my fried rice that the kids love and an Asian salad.
Oh and Pat asked for the Salmon Quiche recipe so here it is.
425g tin of salmon, pink or red.
4 sheets of filo pastry (I only buy the refridgerated one not the frozen)
2 eggs
1 cup skim milk
1 tb lemon juice
1 tb snipped chives
60g low fat tasty cheese, grated
1/4 cup of finely chopped onion.
Lay the pastry sheets in a greased quiche dish (cooking spray) in a criss cross. Put the skinned, boned and flaked salmon on the pastry with the onion and chives, sprinkle the lemon juice over, season with pepper if you like. Mix the eggs and milk together and pour over then top with the cheese. Bake at about 180C for about 35-40 minutes till set and brown.
Serves 4.
Now your points are different and this is a very old recipe anyway so you might have to work out the points, but it's pretty low, easy to do and tastes wonderful, even cold.
I've typed this from memory as I'm in the bedroom, I'll get the book out later and make sure it's right.
Right, I'm off!

Sounds like a wonderful day. I flourish in orderliness and can't stand it if my house gets away from me. I'm doing my big weekly clean today and look forward to sitting down with a nice cup of coffee when I'm finished and enjoying the calm before the chaos gets home from school ; )
You are a " whirlwind " on 2 feet
like my DIL Deb is.
She ran circles around me this morning. :0)
In my later years I've become a bit of a procrastinator. :0(
Late starter...sounds better.
THX for sharing. Jotted the recipe down and if I can read my own writing I should be all set. ;0)
Sounds like you and Kate are closing that gap. :0) :0) :0)
I wouldn't have used the F word.
Like Fuck I wouldn't ! LOL
And as you get older your fingers get bony growths on the joints that hurts - is that arthritis?
Yep Therese, certainly sounds like arthritis to me.
old age is not for sissies.
