Apologies for yesterday's absence, but I was feeling really ghastly after a night of no sleep. Two months of walking wonky thanks to the hole in my left leg has really fubared the muscles of my lower back and my hip flexors. And the damp weather is just compounding the problem.
The wound itself is healed externally, but I've muscle atrophy and the whole shebang is still quite sore. Really folks, I would not recommend sticking a tree branch through your leg. Far too much trouble.
Better night's sleep last night though, probably because I was absolutely shattered. Had a quiet-ish day today. Still had to do all the chores, but I made a nice batch of kipper pate using the No 1 kippers I'd picked up on YS from the fish counter in Waitrose (highly recommended, btw), and then used the skin, bones and heads to make fish stock, which was then used to make a big pot of leek, potato & red lentil soup. The salty, smoky stock was just the ticket.
Took a portion of the kipper pate to a friend. I gave her some of my Keralan-style veggie curry the other day when she came to pick up her yellow sticker bits, and she said she enjoyed it very much. I had kitty cuddles at her place, and doggy cuddles, and I came home with some posh dried food for Madam Boo, as her lot turn their little noses up at it, even Mia the oriental, who I swear must've been a labrador in a previous life LOL.
My show reports from Saturday are now up on the GCCF website if anyone fancies a peruse.
Been really enjoying the action from Milan-Cortina. Nice early evening watching the luge and the curling.
Am sat by the fire surfing the net and supping a
in the company of Madam Boo.
