And another Saturday that comes along.

A Croaky throat.

There is only one problem with eating Gluten free Ginger biscuits and Gluten free Chocolate chip cookies and that is like all Gluten free biscuits they are harder and more brittle than ordinary biscuits and if you don't "Dunk" them in you tea or coffee then you end up like I have this morning with a sore/scratched throat by pigging out on biscuits last night .

How much beef how much Horse ?

Not a good nights sleep either last night was awake until about 12.30 with the raynauds playing up in my toes, anyway that seemed to go by 12.30 so managed to get off to sleep, woke at 2.30 for the bathroom and then woke up at 6.00 and that was about it, made a coffee and took to bed and stayed in bed dozing on and off until 7.45 when I decided to get up and go into the lounge with a coffee and wait for Carol the carer. I put on the TV and the news is depressing again, today they were on about more traces of Horse meat in Burgers and also other things like Pork in Beef and lamb products, it just goes to show that you just don't know what is put into processed foods so I am glad I only eat fresh produce these days.

Anyway I am glad I do not eat burgers anymore, I used to love Burger king . Carol arrives about 9.10 and has a busy day today, so we have a chat and then she gets me washed and groomed, puts "Diprobase" cream on my feet and legs and is then on her way to her next client, Once Carol has Gone I text Pauline and then get some Gluten free porridge for breakfast. Pauline phones back and said that all is OK, Gordon has t take his car up to the garage in Fratton way for its MOT at 2.15 so Pauline said they have to go to B&Q while they are there and may pop in for a coffee afterwards.

Once Pauline is off the phone and I have finished Breakfast I go and get dressed and then check out my emails and facebook, after that I go and get the breakfast washing up done and then walk round to Tesco Express to get the morning paper. It is a nice Sunny but cold day out today so wrap up warm and take a slow walk around the block on the way home. It won't be long before the trees are back in leaf and the blossom appears.

Once back home I make a nice coffee and then settle down to read the paper and as usual do the crosswords, listening to the radio they are playing some older music and the words of one of the songs is as true now as it was when it was written and recorded. by Ray Davies and the Kinks in 1966

They stay for about 45 minutes and have a coffee and a chat, Gordon,s car passed the MOT Ok so they are glad about that. anyway once we have had a chat and a coffee they make there way back home.
