I know that peeps would have been very sympathetic, but I did not want to say anything at time. My mother was taken into Hospital on the morning of Christmas Day, after a couple of falls earlier that week.:sad:

She was discharged yesterday. One of my relatives is there this afternoon, and another relative will be there over the weekend.

She is ninety-five years old, still determined to be in her own home, and she is very frail.
:hugs:

Couldn't get the pot of stock in the fridge last night, so left it in the car as it was plenty cold enough. Could have bounced the stock across my drive this morning. :laugh:

Have removed all the turkey carcass-y bits and it's now safely stowed in the fridge in a tupperware. When the current pot of tomato & chilli soup is eaten, I will make a pot of curried parsnip soup. :hungry:

I also seem to have acquired two large Toblerones this evening. :whistle:
Mark the top of the Tupperware with an indelible marker. All frozen stuff looks the same after a couple of months.

I said fridge, not freezer. :laugh:

Am well in the habit of labelling everything that goes in the freezer. That's because I usually take stuff out of the original packaging and put into freezer bags. That way I can cram more in than I would otherwise be able to. :laugh:

Bit of a change overnight. Last 7 days. There may be increasing difficulty in telling the towpath from the canal.

I feel for you, my mother is a little younger, fit, but increasingly confused. Some housing rearrangements are on the cards.

What was the name of the game we used to play as children? Where the person who was "On it" stood with their back towards you and you had to creep up towards them without being seen, if they turned round you had to remain motionless. It is just that Schrodie was playing that game with next doors cat as he followed her up the garden path.

The children ask: "What's the time? Mr Wolf! "
He turns round and answers with a time and turns back as the children try to take that number of steps towards him. He tries to turn back and if he sees anyone moving, they have to go back to the beginning. If he answers with :" dinner time! ", he can chase them as everyone runs away. Whoever he catches is the next Mr Wolf.

Watching the children at school playing this, I think they like being caught and don't try very hard.
