Issues at the interface of Mavis, community-based psychiatric services and the mentally normal

I think that covers us all?

Hope you enjoyed it.

It was a lovely day for a walk. I feel invigorated by the fresh air. Now home with the fire lit and a chicken ready for the oven.

What have you been up to?

Oh good, sounds fun. Chicken is great, very Sundayey.

I walked to Sainsbury's to buy reduced cake for DP and large quantities of nuts for me before they shut, to avoid having to listen to the F1 he watches. Then I cake back. Then made cups of tea for the builders.

Great heaving lumps of joy.

Came back. DYFreudianAC

Is the rendering getting done?

Yes, praise sweet Mithras.

Once they put a tarp up to shield the delicate render from the vicious November sun.

They've just knocked off for the day. Nearly finished, apparently. It just needs rubbing down Perhaps it would like an apple too.

I'm amazed you've found builders that work on a Sunday. They must be a special breed.

It's odd, isn't it? Apparently the weather was just right

Render can clearly only be applied in watery sunlight. Who knew.

Yup. Previous days have been too hot, too cold, too sunny, too rainy, too windy, and followed by a frosty night, all of which are apparently the enemies of render.

Render is clearly a fickle beast

I very jealous of your cake purchases. I would love a piece of cake but crappy village shop is closed. Will have to make do with biscuits. Should have had a lunch.

Gin doesn't count?

Gin made me hungry and I resisted the crisps in the pub. This bloody chicken can't roast quickly enough for my hunger.

What's a bit of campylobacter to a hungry person, eh?

I've just been told that we are having veal burgers for dinner

Veal burgers? Get you fancy pants. Sounds delicious.

enrolling in the hungry club, last night's dinner thoroughly used up by now

daughter is making beef and bean (crunchy) tacos

He saw some veal mince the other day and bought it without planning what to do with it. Normally he makes burgers from scratch (i.e. meat lumps). I think it counts as a hobby.

Oh thought that said real burgers

no idea where glasses are

I shouldn't be eating today but DP would be upset if I turned down his dinner.

Do you always share dinner duties in your house Mitchy?

we usually cook independently of one another for ourselves, but try to eat together

we swim against a powerful tide of dysfunction in this area but it's good if we can eat the same thing sometimes

There's only two of us usually unless one of the other mitchy jrs is home
