Like Chookie a couple of days ago, I also managed a rare "me" day. Got some shopping done, hemmed several pairs of trousers and managed to sit and read a chapter or two of my current book.

I’m silly but even now that I really don’t drink, I find a glass or two of port settles my panic when it’s very windy. It’s easy, cheap medicine.
I made a fruit loaf yesterday. I soaked the fruit in hot tea for several hours.
Nothing silly about that, Cookie. If it works, then it works and is better than suffering stress or tension during a storm.

I noticed you were in for some bad weather yesterday / last night, Cookie and wondered what would happen to the port. Do you think we should have a new forecast "port weather today"? I guess we will get the storm over here this weekend.

I had a head scan this afternoon.. Just to be sure the GP said. I’m not sure if it was to check if I had a brain or to check that nothing extra was there‼️‼️‼️‼️ The lass that did it was lovely. I said I hope she found a brain, her reply was that it was on men they had problems finding them. 😀😀😀😀😀
I’m sure everything is ok but the GP keeps mentioning nasty things about age.😀😀😀😀😀
Hope your results are good. I liked the nurse's comments ... you should have no problems!

When I first went to Glasgow it took me days to understand my cousins ... now I cannot understand how I had so much trouble, but the accent of the Outer Hebrides is so much softer, and that is what I grew up with.
I just received this notice from Books for Cooks - The Japanese Art of Pickling & Fermenting - it's a very specific field, but I thought there may be someone in the area who might be interested in attending.

Good to get your feedback, Chookie, it sounds like a real mix of good and not so good and at time challenging. Your travelling companions sound interesting - I would have loved time with Jane Edmanson - how did you get on with the Glaswegian accent??? I think it is one of those trips that is quite different to how it is advertised but would still be interesting and, as you say, a once in a lifetime experience.

EDC stock concentrate, vege stew, oven baked garlic mushroom rice and I am experimenting with simple dahls where I can pre-measure the dry ingredients and pack up so that DH need only saute the spices then add everything else, plus a tin of tomatoes and coconut cream to make himself a hot meal when I am away at the weekends

Welcome back, Chookie. I'd love to hear what you thought of the Ghan.
Cookie, do you know what is causing your dizzy spells? They can be so challenging and frightening if they hit you unexpectedly, you should see if there are any exercises, etc. that will help. I went through a period like that some time ago and my doctor gave me a very simple series of exercises that were really good and helpful. If you are interested I will see if I can find them and send them over to you. Let me know. However the caveat is that you clear them with your GP first.

That's bad luck and not good news, Mab - I guess the good side is that you can commiserate with and keep each other company. Do you have someone that can shop or cook for you? Hope you both pull through soon.

Is it just my computer, or are others having problems accessing this site, it seems to go down for several days at a time regularly lately and I miss it!
