Right, that's the girls' advocate ordered. VetUK had changed their website around since I last ordered it, so there was a bit of a panic when I couldn't find it in the flea treatment section. Panic over when I saw that they've now added a section for POM... *whew*

Back from the physio, been prodded and poked, knee turned this way and that.

They think it's nothing too serious and should start getting better fairly soon, bit of rest and some gentle exercise will help.

He even mentioned I should go for a bike ride

I have decided to have hobby to do when the weather is bad this winter, so i have decided to do some knitting. Its been years since i did any, and to be honest, i can't even find my knitting neddles now, so i have ordered some.

I can't follow a knitting pattern for love nor money, and the last time i tried to knit a jumper, it ended up looking more like something that would fit Quasi Modo perfectly. Bearing that in mind, i am going to attempt to make a blanket or throw. How hard can it be for goodness sake.

If it ends up looking like a god awful mess, i shall throw it in the bin and keep quiet.

Crochet it's far easier. I make lots of blankets, quite addicted to making them. In fact I will shortly be sitting on a train making one.

Makes the commute fly by.

I would also not start to learn to knit with cheap wool. A consistent and inexpensive brand that I like is James C Brett. They do a "marble" wool in double knit and chunky, in a huge variety of colours. Bear in mind that the Chunky version is in balls of 200g, not the usual 100g. You could do a lovely scarf as a first item, and then progress from there.

A bargain basement wool may have knots in it, or easily get knotted, and/or split, and then you will get frustrated. I would, if I was you, start with a good quality yarn, that can be unpicked and reknitted if necessary.

I love his wool. I made all my scarves last year with his marble wool. Very good value for money and nice with it.

I have just had a look. It does look lovely yarn. Many thanks.

[QUOTE 4953918, member: 21629"]Being a chef for myself.
Chicken breast cut in pieces cooked in oven with mix of spices, herbs, honey and chilli sauce. Sounds but taste was lovely. With rice and some black olives. And a glass of Tokaji Kesoi Arany wine.
It was incredibly tasty but I couldn't finish that plate so tomorrow's lunch question is solved.

Wow, that sounds and looks good to me!!
I don't know the wine though - worth trying?

Now on Plan C for the week:

Turkey was cancelled
Ireland took it's place
Now Ireland is being curtailed to go to Grantham for FRIDAY AFTERNOOOOOON.....what's wrong with some companies planning customer trials on a Friday afternoon? It's not civil I tell you.

Mind you...next week is looking like a complete train wreck in comparison....

Most Tokaji wines are worth trying in my experience...

Oi, get back to yer Rose!

Taste is also very personal thing.
But I definitely won't buy this wine anymore.

I like sweet red wines but wines clasification in UK is totally different from my country. And I cannot find Kagor (red wine, very popular in LT) anywhere.
Choosing cider is much easier: cheap = expensive = [/QUOTE]
Alas, much comes down to preference and price....

Personally I prefer a Merlot, Lebanese wines are pretty good.
