Morning.

I'm still taking things easy so Florence has been baking bread overnight so I'm doing things on toast, jam, cheese, beans, sardines and I'm open to suggestions.

Fernando is making berry cocktails.

Morning
Apricot jam and butter on a baguette please. Happy memories of our holiday this year.
I’ve brought some light up balls for the bumble cats to play with.

sashh · 03/10/2023 05:50

Oh that's sweet, the bumble cats sometimes get forgotten.

MinnieMountain · 04/10/2023 05:05

The bumble cats are cool.
Do I smell croissants?

sashh · 04/10/2023 06:04

Morning.

Lets head for france, croissants, bread and jam with large black coffee on the side and Fernando is making Kir royal.

Oh, I'm going to play with the Bumble cats.. Croissants for me please with lots of butter.

fivetriangulartrees · 05/10/2023 02:33

Morning! Do you have any buttered crumpets again today?

Apparently my toddler wandered in to feed the goats earlier without asking. I hope he hasn't made too much mess.

sashh · 05/10/2023 05:38

Morning.

Well I have had an IRL relapse, my throat feels like it is made of razor blades so I'm making some tea and toast and heading for a comfy chair, please give orders to F and F or help yourselves.

@fivetriangulartrees check the CCTV for toddler and goat antics.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you are not well again @sashh , your having a rough time recently. I have found sucking ice cubes or eating ice pops helps relieve sore throats .

@Bbq1 I hope you are feeling better now .

It feels like a porridge kind of day so I have asked Florence to make a pan full. I am going to have mine with a bit of extra cream and ginger syrup.

Bbq1 · 05/10/2023 10:41

Mmm, porridge sounds lovely. With cinnamon or golden syrup!

Thanks @ScottBakula. Unfortunately I'm up and down and off work atm. Constant stomach pain and I'm currently under the dr and hospital having/waiting for tests. Just want treating now.

sashh · 06/10/2023 01:00

Morning.

I'm leaving it to you guys again, it now hurts to swallow so I'll try the ice.

Sorry to hear your feeling poorly Sassh. Perhaps Fernando could rustle you up a slushy of some kind?
Ive been MIA for a while trying to stay off screens at night, but me and cat are definitely back.
I’m not all that hungry so perhaps I’ll just grab a brew and head to the kitchen to help Florence out. I think I have a recipe for marshmallows somewhere.

MinnieMountain · 06/10/2023 06:06

Oh dear @sashh . I’ll make some orange sorbet.
How about cinnamon buns today? I’ll ask Florence.

sashh · 06/10/2023 06:11

Thanks everyone, I have taken pain killers and I think I'm just going to take it easy.

But I'd love a marshmallow recipe for when I'm better.

NoTeaNoShade · 06/10/2023 06:44

Morning Sashh, so sorry to hear you are feeling awful still, do you have anybody IRL to support you?

Rice Krispie treats comprised of a ton of butter and marshmallows mixed together is my favourite. No adult can resist!

sashh · 07/10/2023 04:48

Morning.

Sorry everyone is having to much in but this has knocked me out.

My carer came over yesterday and bought me a take away that I couldn't eat much off, so he did me the favour of eating my left over chips.

He's round again today, he's not doing great at the moment, he came back from holiday covered in insect bites, I looked at his leg and said,"That looks infected" this was last weekend so no GP open and he didn't want to go to the walk in so went to a pharmacy where the pharmacist said, "that's infected, go to the Dr".

He made an appointment and saw the physician's assistant who said, "that's infected, I'm going to get the Dr".

The Dr wanted to send him to hospital for IV antibiotics but was persuaded to let him have pills and got the nurse to dress his leg.

He has to change the dressing today, I may take pics for sporner corner. He's changing the dressing here in case he needs help.

ScottBakula · 08/10/2023 00:25

Aww @sashh , sorry to hear you and your carer are having a rough time , he really should get some antibiotics if the doc says them so he needs to get better so he can look after you .

sashh · 08/10/2023 01:01

Morning. Still not up to much so I'm having a tea in the garden.

@ScottBakula he's taking them, just oral rather than IV. I'm getting a couple of hours sleep then a couple of hours awake, over 24 hours.

We did his dressing together yesterday. He arrived with his supplies from the pharmacy, my living room looked like a hospital clinical room.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 08/10/2023 04:06

Morning @sashh . I’ll get you a blanket.
Mind if I join you with my coffee? We can listen to the dawn chorus together.

sashh · 08/10/2023 06:09

Please do join but don't be surprised if I fall asleep.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 08/10/2023 12:48

Sorry @sashh I misinterpreted your post , its good to know he's taking the meds.
I am beginning to wonder if we should open a small hospital next to cafe . The kittebees , bumblecats ,goats and rabbits could be therapy animals

sashh · 09/10/2023 00:35

Morning.

I think I am finally on the mend.Still snuffly and painful to swallow but not as bad as it was.

I'm not sure about a hospital but what about a convalescent cottage?

I'm leaving the food and drinks to F and F.

OP posts:
sashh · 10/10/2023 00:34

Morning.

Well I seem to be on the mend eventually, but slowly so I'm just going to make porridge. Florence is making baguettes and Fernando is making lemon and honey hot toddies.
