R Jane,
Sorry to disturb.
Can me & R Chris come to your party?
R Sal wants us to come.  Think she needs the moral support in the face of me mother and father 😉;-)
Me mother mentioned it, but didn’t rate say that we were invited.  You know what she’s like: a bit flaky. 🙂:)
Don’t want to impose of course, but I don’t eat nowt & r Chris is only little & doesn’t take up much space.
So yes, hope to see you soon.
R Kat.

Him: This… this… this… this… this… this… money… this… this… this… this… this… this… this… not a natural mother… this… this… this… this… this… this… money again… this… this… this… this… Oh yes, and money

Repeat to fade.

The velvety-smooth tang

Of strawberries and raspberries

Sliding luxuriously down my throat.

And the after-crunch of nuts and seeds

Not quite blended in.

All lovingly prepared by my husband.

Recipe for Power Breakfast

3 tsp golden linseeds

2 tsp sunflower seeds

1 tsp pumpkin seeds

1 tsp dried cranberries

1tsp dried goji berries

4 whole blanched almonds

A handful of chopped fruit.  We like: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and melon (any kind)

Put the whole lot in a small jug.  Top with pure apple juice.  100% juice, not that concentrated crap… and leave overnight in the fridge to soften.

In the morning, take your hand blender and whizz it all up in the jug.

Then pour into a beaker and top up with more apple juice.  Shake before drinking.

Honestly, this is sooooo worth the effort to prepare and it gives a huge energy boost.  If you are one of those people who can’t stomach breakfast (like me and my husband), then this is perfect for you.

Oh yes, and this recipe is copyrighted to me.

The sky is salmon pink above the hills.

Streaks of coral light framing the clouds.

 

Bloodied and bruised

His abscess removed.

Must eat three dinners

To make up for lost time.

She fiddles with her phone constantly whilst talking to me, as though the answers she seeks might be hiding within.

Ahhh, the sweet silence of an empty house after the buzz of activity and people all weekend.

Can we just ignore the washing up and hope it does itself or even goes away?

Look at that bloke over there.

The one licking icing sugar off a plate, so that it falls like fairy dust on to the front of his shirt.

Well, that bloke is my Dad

And I love him!

Curled up on the doorstep

As though he’s sleeping.

Sorry little brown mouse,

My cat is obviously a poor, starving kitten
