You can never have enough...

Like the sound of your pork chop

My pants are relegated  to charity sewing. Love the animal print didn't like the cut and fit. Someone will like them. 
Will buy more fabric if it presents itself for another edition  in the future. 

Rain not far off here moisture in the air.

Despite dressing for spring, I have the most fragrant pea and ham soup on the stove in the big pot, the only one that takes a full ham hock. With carrot, celery, onion, dried green peas, chilli powder, ginger, coriander branch (the plant is pretty big), mint tops, and crushed garlic, with lemon zest to activate the greens, and a heap of black pepper.

That wind out there can blw as hard as it likes, I am set for the weekend!

Had a lovely day with Dianne today and with her sister too.

We met at the supermarket and then kept creating traffic jams.. Oops lol. Then we brought chicken rolls and coleslaw home had lunch, Lorraine went on her way and Di and I did two oppies.

I got a dish draining rack, Yay its like new. I hated putting washed dishes on the bench, a another centerpiece/tray for the coffee table.. a Black cardy and a light grey one with a hoodie. But both with long sleeves but nice and light.

But my spoil were two large serving platters the same Pohutukawa decoration as my two tiered cake stand and a teapot and cup set. Originally from Stevens or Farmers, but I've never brought any of them new.

Ive been thinking about having Dianne, Lorraine, David and Caron around before Christmas so they will be perfect.

Her Hair is starting to drop. But she said they had fun with the wig lady yesterday. Who advised the artificial ones are far better to control and she found one close to how her hair is today. So that's good.

Will be up early tomorrow as I have to be at hers around 7am, cos the taxi will arrive around 7-30am.

I've often wondered about Harum pants.. I imagine they are totally comfortable.

They are - I've got a couple of pair. They're good in summer but cotton's not quite as cool as viscose.
Mine are baggy -ish around the bottom so  when I bike wearing them I use those fabric thingys, scrunchies, I think they are (which are meant to tie your hair) round the bottoms to prevent getting caought in chain or pedal, - so far, so good.

The sneaky toad youngest grandson pulled the same trick on his Mum, Dad & his sister - she cried. He filmed it on his phone so he could show me.
 He's so lovely that lad & despite his being a Taurus,we agree on loads of things.
He turned up this morning & he took me to go & get a new vacuum, mine died ages ago & have been using his dad's (Sweetie darling no 2) spare one ever since, so good to have a better one..she said hopefully.

I'm really so lucky to have such brilliant grandkids. I must have done something really excellent in a past life to deserve them.

Soup done. It is really good. I may have overdone the chilli a tad. But that is what creamy additions are for...

Hey us Taurean's are Good Peoples lol... sounds like you have a good one too Lilith.. Mind you my twin brother is the total opposite of me ,,, but I've always been the leader he is the follower.

That wind is cold but the hospital warm. Well it was an education being in where they do the chemo. I think Di had 5 bags of stuff in all The chemo part only taking 18 minutes. She had a little pain in the wrist hand where the lure was but otherwise flue through. ate lunch with no troubles..

There were 9 people having it done and the nurses were continuously on their feet keeping up with all the bottles and timers. and as one left the next came in.

She said having me talk with her and keeping her distracted helped so I will go whenever she wants me to.

I didn't stay when we got back I told her to go in and rest a bit.

Wow I didn't know we had to do clexane for a colonoscopy KM. My dr wants me to have one.. I dont know why and for some reason it annoys me I have never had any trouble in that department apart from when I take big pain meds. Ill be phoning them on Monday and telling them I will make an appointment after I have spoken to my Dr. I dont know why he wants me to do it. We have never discussed it.

Picked up the egg beater for Gayle and dropped it off. Its a good solid one. And the sneaky madam had got me a snuggly hoodie is what Im calling it.. Its long, it actually reaches the floor lol.. but it has huge pockets on the front and a hoodie and long sleeves.

She had a pretty green chenille blanket she had crochet on the table. She said you have a choice, you an have that one or wait a little while for a red one which will be bigger.. Of course I said the red lol..

Oddly no one has ever given me a crochet blanket and its something Ive always wanted. Something that someone has put their love and care into.

So Im feeling very spoilt.

Had LFT / KFC for lunch it was so good. So No cooking for me tonight.. Ill have fruit most likely and if Im peckish Ill have some Vogal's Toast. Haven't had any in years so Di gave me a few slices of hers yesterday.

Ill have a quick play on here then spend some time with my girl

MrK has to have the clexane as they will be removing pollops so it's a minor surgery. You may not need it for a regular colonoscopy. We will have to repeat it all when he has his hip done.

Oh, I know most are brilliant; its just that they're our astrological opposite.

Which I rather wish I'd known before I married one...

Ill be asking my Dr.. And probably in the warfarin group Im in on FB too. 

But I wont be having it until I know why he wants it.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I made the decision a few years back to say no to tests and procedures that were unpleasant unless they were absolutely beneficial in outcome, so I hope any of us having one has the same positive results.

Like my new hip. Which interestingly enough is more challenging at times than the old one, lol. Isn't that often the way? Still, I did get to bend enough to paint my toenails today, something I couldn't have done before the op, so there's one positive outcome. Can't sleep on that side for long, but lilac nails are very pretty...

Popeye, did you do the bowel screening test when you turned 60? Hubby just got the info in the mail that he will be getting the testing kit in a couple of weeks. If so, maybe something showed up on the test?

Yep Kazza I got it and all was fine there. My Brother had bowel cancer but Im clear. 

Its just for me why have it done when I dont have any symptoms of anything and there's the chance they could make me bleed and being on two blood thinners would make that spiral. 

I just feel that its invasive and at this stage no reason why Im being asked to do it.. he will have to give me a bloody good reason why he wants it. 

I would say my knee is about the same to a degree. The pain is different to before hand. 

Thankfully Ive always been very bendy so reaching my toenails has always and still is possible. But I can understand why it would be harder with a new hip. 

Just saw the weather, Hunnie Im glad you made the soup.
