Thank you. One of the nastiest things I’ve had aside from “real” flu! I’m desperate to get the shingles jab as a result!

I had chicken pox - a month before my 14th birthday. It was AWFUL. I had them inside as well as out. I was properly ill and infected some younger children before it came out. If there had been a vaccine I know my parents would have made sure I got it.

I know how you feel - the organising is so tiring, you need a holiday to get over it! We have a lovely pub 7 miles away that has rooms - we been for one and two night stays and have all the benefits of being away with no travel aggro!

Your challenge for the day is to invent a ReformUK policy. On Shrove Tuesday next year we get to see if they’ve adopted it.

Remember, it should appeal to insane pensioners and absolutely nobody else. QT with yours!

Dhal? Quick, easy and so delicious. Or an omelette? Something on toast?

I know this person (from here, not IRL) and I disagree. They are not incurious or uninformed. Perhaps an unfortunate post to have caught your eye.

Your food is so inspirational - you cook how I want to but never seem to!

I get it from the Tories - badly educated people vote for them (as well as the other end of the spectrum that benefit from cronyism). But I don’t get it with Labour 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ooh! Do you have a recipe? That sounds lush!

I’d use olive oil, personally.

Perfect payday dinner 🥰 I recently had a KitKat for the first time in ages and was very underwhelmed - never again. We had a cooked breakfast early doors (niece’s birthday), then I had a movie afternoon with a neighbour’s 10 year old so there was popcorn, sweets & fruit. Dinner will be light!

I don’t think I’ve come across St Ewe’s, my faves are Clarence Court. I’ll look out for SE altho keep thinking that should be lamb!

Yum! I’ll be right round 🥰 We have everything except the decent bread required, so one for tomorrow, I think.
