The good news is that I'm feeling so much better today and although the weather isn't brilliant, it's warmer and not raining.
Now for the bad news: I've been cooking!!
I actually ventured into the kitchen this afternoon with the intentions of producing a roast beef dinner! I haven't volunteered to cook in months, mainly because my offerings rarely reach the three out of ten level. Anyway, I had a lump of beef, I was certain of that because I didn't shop for it, spuds, sprouts, a bag of frozen cauli and some yorkshire pudding mix which I made last night. Rumour has it that the mix has to sleep in the fridge overnight, strange.
I was very calm, bunged the beef into the oven, wrapped in it's foil jacket, peeled all that needed to be peeled and sat down to finish my book. So far so good.
An hour or so later I thought that it must be time to shove the spuds into the cooker and then noticed that the beef had hardly cooked grrrr. Never mind, turn it up and put the spuds in. I started to get a little flustered then and even more so when I had cooked roast potatoes and half-raw beef!! Chaos!! Thank goodness for the microwave. I just plodded on cooking things when I came to them and warmed the whole thing up when I got to the end!!
I'm now a dithering wreck, my kitchen looks like a bomb site and there's nothing to show for it..............apart from the 8 out of ten!!
