Good Day (28)

Hi to all...

Tipping it down in Wheatley, Oxford!

Hello folks,

Been rather busy lately so haven't had time to come and greet you all.

Sorry to hear you're still poorly Ron, please get well soon. Hi Cathyml, sorry its been so long since I got to visit. Yes we're still freezing down here near the sea. Its crazy actually that its still cold this far into August. We had a lot rain last weekend and the temperatures have been between 4 and 18. Today was better at 20.

Went to lunch in Howick (about 25 Km inland from here for the benifit of those who don't know SA) on Sunday and had to sit right next to a big log fire to thaw out.

Darn, if global warming doesn't stop soon we will freeze to death!

Bye for now.

Well, Ron, by tomarrow morning I should have 24 quarts of homemade Chili canned up...would you like me to add an bit of gunpowder instead of chili powder and see if we can't rid of some doctors that treat... but don't heal?...Heh?...raises an eye brow*   I think I am tired beyond tired tonight...both grandson's wanted to come over... so have them also. This diet I am on thats "new" has me walking 20 minutes every morning....thought it would be an "piece of cake" until today....and my ankle is slightly swollen. So I'm heading in early tonight to get up early and finish off the last pressure cooker canner of Chili before the weather turns warmer this weekend. I still have blackberries to pick and do up...and this weekend is my brother's birthday...he's already came by an picked up two jars of Chili and an bowl of it for lunch....smiliing.  Plus I gave his wifey some of my herbs to work with also, in salad and chives for the top of baked potatoes....some mint for making an lemon mint refresher with ice for the hot day coming up. Some Purple Basil to dry...seh has an Purple and green kitchen... and some colored Naturium blossoms that are eatable to make into fritters...for an light "crunch". Other then that it's this diet of 5 small meals an day....I feel like I barely get done making one  mini-meal and have to eat something again. My mind is foggy so you'll have to pardon me an bit for now and will get back to you when things calm down an bit. Have an good weekend everyone...Here...your huggies....((((((hugs))))))....later! 

I just got back from hospital, now I've got a b....y chest infection!

Two lots of antibiotics, morphine, paracetamol, codeine and so the list goes on, just can't believe it!

With all those drugs Ron you won't care what the weather is like you will be flying....

Still, sorry to hear you are so poorly you have really suffered ever since you had that nasty cough, what you need is a lovely holiday somewhere warm and dry, easier said than done I know, get a holiday magazine and look at the pics while sitting in your garden in the sun,use your imagination it can work wonders

Hope you feel better very soon 

The Lake District Ron, that's what you need

My Lakeland Meandering will be resurrected in a couple of weeks so hopefully that will help you on your way!!!
