...... to everyone for all the kind words for Malcolm - it means a lot to him to know that so many people are thinking of him. He went down to Ashington first thing this morning and is staying overnight in the hospital with his Dad, who unfortunately is still very, very ill. Malcolm and I had a chat last night about writing about his Dad, and we came to the conclusion that I would tell you what was happening, but I won't say much more for the moment - we just didn't want you to think that I was posting my usual nonsense regardless of the turmoil in our lives.
So ..... I didn't go with Malcolm today as I had a major appointment at the dentist! I know, it's all been going on for months, but another two appointments and it should all be over - but then comes the real pain - the BILL. I took the opportunity of a day in the house to get on with domestic things - doing the ironing (my least favourite job) and cooking for the freezer - I still have a big pot of bolognese simmering!!
During the day, I had an awful thought - when I did the post about the sticky toffee cake, I had a whole packet of butter in the photo - but I didn't say how much to use! Please don't put in the whole packet - I used about 60g. I have now amended the post - I just had the most awful vision of people melting a whole packet of butter.....
Of course, I have still been knitting, and the first little Christmas gnome is taking shape
I'll finish his beard tonight, and get started on number two - I think I will do him in green!
Stuart was planning to visit baby Mia tonight, so hopefully he will phone later with a full report!!
