The sun is shining. The lawns are still white with frost. It
looks set to be a lovely spring day. Tonight the clocks change so tomorrow
should be lighter longer in the evening. Then I’ll start to feel spring is
really here & summer’s on its way.
Yesterday we heard of a couple of local people affected by the
terrible events in Westminster the other day. The family of a friend & also
of a local notable figure were involved in the lock down. Fortunately none were
involved in the killings. However, it was with relief our friend got a phone
call to tell her that her grand-daughters were both fine. She’d only got back
from a trip to London to see them just the day before.
Our day was dominated by the Fox’s ill-health. We ended up
calling the surgery as waves of nausea & fever hit. He was given some
medication. Unfortunately he reacted badly to the medication. We afterwards
looked at the piece of paper that came with the pills to see that they were not
to be taken if you’d a stroke which the Fox has had.
I’m getting very nervous about what to cook for dinner. While I
was out on Thursday, I bought a chicken to roast. We’re going to have to have
it otherwise it will go off. One good thing is that there are plenty of things
to do with leftover cooked chicken. That can go in the freezer until he’s
better.
The whole cooking business is getting soul-destroying when he
can eat so little. (I suspect he only eats as much as he does to make sure I
have a proper meal.)He seems to manage better when he is away from the cooking
smells so I am doing all the cooking at the moment, which I’m beginning to find
quite exhausting. As I’ve no food plans after today, I think whatever we eat is
going to be quick & easy cooking, something that doesn’t require much
effort. Yesterday’s meal turned into a bowl of soup & a smoked mackerel
salad. What next I wonder. I just hope they sort out the cause of the problem
soon.
