It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm going to that London to see my son (and to meet his girlfriend for the first time). We may be found in the Brick Lane area in the evening, partaking of a cheap curry and a few beers

(After looking at settees in a settee shop that MrsR has identified as a potential provider of new living room furniture).

Yes, I was going to do some raining, but it is now gardening very heavily.

For Peeps on here who like cats, here is an update on Tasha. She went to the Vet again today. The stitches came out, and loads of fluid was drained from the affected area. She has to have eye drops several times a day. They are still not sure if they can save the eye, but they think the cause was an injury to the eye, and not anything more sinister. They want to see her again next Friday.

For poor Tasha from me and the Pride (Kissa, Cinders, Smokey, Fifi and Merlin)

My mum has been walking well with the zimmer frame. Today the community physio assessed her to be ready for crutches which she is pleased about because it's easier to manoeuvre around the furniture and in the smallest room in the house especially. She has been carrying bits and pieces around on the zimmer in the peg basket attached to the front. Now she has no idea how to carry anything!?

A shoulder bag, possibly around the neck, or a messenger style bag if that swings around too much. That worked for me the last time I was on crutches.

Hoping our crossing will be relatively tame. I need some sleep

It's not. We're swaying from side to side. But dinner has been scoffed and we have more beer

I may wish I had some stugeron

We've battened down the hatches. Strong winds all day and last night and now a force 9 about to come though. Bouncy bouncy.

I have some 'vintage' butter paddles. I've made cheese and intended making butter but never got round to it.

I've got several sets of butter paddles and butter moulds, but can't use them as mum has had a go at them with lavender & beeswax polish...

Never made cheese (wouldn't mind giving it a go when there's cheap milk to be had, though) and this will be my first attempt at butter. Cream crops up regularly on YS, and given that butter is now at £1.33 for 250g, it's worth a punt. It can only go horribly wrong once...

Made a lovely plum crumble with the last of the vics from the garden. Just the thing with lashings of custard.

I learned a lot more about Weber Five Star precision grout today. At £23 a bag, the learning process has had to be a bit light on experimentation.

Morning. I think the sun may have just risen here. Can't really tell as it is just hiding behind a bit of cloud, the rest of the sky is mainly clear with a bit of cloud to the South and West.
I hope it stays fine for the peeps getting together today in the park.
