COV: very impressed if you did the splits - even neraly. I have never been able to do anything so athletic
theres loads of chickenpox going around: 4 in ds' class have fallen; luckily ds and dd got it on holiday last year which resulted in us staying for three weeks rather than 2, and getting put up in lovely hotel (once we found one taht would take us). Ahhhh, I have v fond memories of those darling little spots
receipe for broad beans: chirozo sausage, cut into chunks (or chicken if you don't like red meat), two big onions, green peppers, loads of beans and lots of garlic, oil, salt and pepper. all fried until browned and a bit sticky, and then oven baked for 30 mins. to make into a main meal instead of side dish, grill/ add to the pot a big pack of sliced hallomi cheese. Goes v well with full bodied red wine - but what doesn't. It takes about 15 mins to prepare and looks fab, I've evnm done it for dinner guests.
Kew : good luck to your mum; hope it goes well.
who had the fox? there's a fox protection society and the rspca. I know this from when I ran over a fox last year. V sad moment - then used as lecture to tell ds of woes when you don't hold mummy's hand when crossing the road. DS thought about this for a bit, then said the fox didn't have hands so it wasn't his fault. Sometimes that kid is too smart for his own good.
MrsR: you're getting job offers from everywhere!
