So far today I've shaved, had a bath, cut my toenails, cut my hair, done laundry, 30+ minutes on the turbo and gone shopping on the bike. Today I'm a domestic god.

Have you prepared dinner and swept the floor?

Have you prepared dinner and swept the floor?

I'm only just having my brunch. Floor's still on today's to do list.

 

[Reynard]

Still feel rather *bleurgh* but nowhere near as bad as Saturday. Doing the things that I have to do today though, needs must.

Have also cleaned out the ashes from the fire, filled up the bird feeders, done the litter trays and finished updating the website for our branch of CP. Didn't go out yesterday in the end - had a plumpitty day, but will mosey on down to Tesco tonight to do a grocery shop and see what's to be had on yellow sticker.

 

[Katherine]

Been awake since 4 with my spine issues. Took maximum dose of codeine and went to bed. No work today.

Sorry to hear that. Hope it feels more comfortable soon.

I've just texted my daughter to tell her I won't see the g-kids until this new cold gets past its most contagious. Unless snot is already in flow in which case there's no point in exiling myself. 2 colds this winter! That's bad.

You probably caught it from them anyway. I'm on my third since the new year and its clinging on. Kleenex must be doing a roaring trade. It's not funny anymore.

Still, this one doesn't feel like the super-cold lots of us got at the end of last year. This one feels like a good old-fashioned common-or-garden cold. I hope your last two have been the same.

No, much worse than usual. But I have been in the nursery class and they're all snotty. And they cough and sneeze in my face whenever I bend down to talk to them, especially when I help them do up their coat, which is several times a day. I try to wash my face and hands as much as possible. Hopefully, I'll build up some immunity.

Those little ones do get in your face, don't they!

I love smoked salmon.... but if you don't want to eat it "raw" (it's smoked so it's not raw), then chop it up and chuck it over some freshly cooked pasta, the heat from that will be enough to "cook" it.

I think i might do that. I

It's ready to eat as it is.
I also recommend it with scrambled egg.

Well i've just had some on wholemeal toast. It was ok but a bit tasteless,seeing as it was supposed to have a malt whiskey taste to it. I'm glad i only paid 15p and not the £3.50 on the packet.

 

[Reynard]

You will find that the flavour does vary from brand to brand, though at 15p for the pack, what's not to like? A squeeze of lemon usually brings out the flavour, or a dab of creme fraiche with a touch of horseradish.

I have northern / eastern european ancestry, and I find that a lot of the smoked products available in mainstream shops are not smoked enough for my palate. If you want some really *good* smoked salmon, try and get some "london smoke" Kosher stuff from a jewish deli or fishmonger.

 

[EltonFrog]

I am thoroughly and abjectly pi$$ed off.

Why? I hear you ask, well I'll tell you feckin why, I dropped my feckin iPhone and the flap on the cover opened up on the way down and when the feckin phone hit the feckin deck it feckin smashed the feckin glass that's feckin why.

Grrrr feckin grrrrr.

 

[Reynard]

@CarlP - it is repairable, I hope...

I think so, it works though I can't see the screen very well, it won't be cheap.

 

[Speicher]

Thank you both, that has been very helpful. Despite saying I try to avoid amazon, it seems their price is the cheapest, other websites have them listed at a lower price but then say they are out of stock, so it may be amazon this time.

@summerdays and @Asa Post

Thank you for help with the scales, today I have ordered them from Amazon.

Drat... At least it doesn't appear to be terminal.

In the mean time, I'd recommend some chocolate - soothes over many a bump on life's road.

Lu is currently securing the necessary medicines to help me cope with this cold. Those medicines include pizza, chocolate and wine.
