Soooo, I got a LOT of Excellent Cheddar for a not huge price !!

You can freeze Cheddar.

(Go buy more!)

Tastes ok, but it does go rather crumbly

Woke up to shoulder/neck muscle pain that makes me wonder if I slept folded up in a 5 gallon bucket.

Popped pills.

Went to FWR this morning (Kennington) for an MOT made it back in one piece ….

[Noggin]

I drove to see friends, had lunch**, drove to the rehab centre and caught up with some friends, drove home

3.5 hours driving with leg not quite straight and definitely not 90°

Also sat in chairs with leg at 90° for around 3 hours (probably more) around the driving

Knee is a bit swollen and not too hurty - so that bodes well for going back to work in September

I got to catch up with my friend from the first rehab place and his new wife (I already know her but they got married a few weeks ago ); then I went to the most recent rehab place and met with a friend and chatted a bit and with some other inmates, and whilst there I saw the lovely old guy that was in the neighbouring room - extra cool cos he lives about 10 mins from me and is expecting to be released on Friday, so he'll get someone to drive hm down to Aime for coffee or I'll drive up to where he is
I was just in the car when the guy I had really gone to see called me and said that one of the nice nurses was on shift and would like to say hi - so I went back and went up to the level I had lived on; ended up seeing the nurse and two of my favourite soignants (healthcare workers).

I've had a cool day


** My friends took me to a Chinese for lunch. I was expecting a buffet style lunch which is pretty normal here. Nope. We had fondue. Weird as hell to talk about but damn it was good

First we had Porc Croustillants & Nems Crevettes Then -


The table had a hole in it with a hot plate to keep the liquid warm




The cooking liquid is a bouillon - one side mushroom and the other vegetable




Then they bring a "collar" for the hole that has the meat on it - beef, lamb, pork, chicken and shrimp!!




Then a platter (?) with noodles, shrimp goyza (I think) and something tofu on the top (no one tried those )




And the other side there was a dish of various mushrooms and veg (pak choi, spinach and cabbage) - and plate of rice to share that I didn't take a photo




I have had many many fondue here, but of course, cheese based!!! (sometimes with ceps mushrooms or brandy to flavour it!!). I've seen the meat fondue where you cook meat but I thought that was in oil, now I need to check if it was in bouillon and not oil !!

BUT, this was very very lovely Possibly ate too much, but it was good too much as very little rice and the noodles were too complicated to get out of the liquid!!

I felt a smidge ashamed that I couldn't use the chopstix, but TBF I couldn't use them before I had a spazzy arm

Marc did make the obligatory comment that if you loose something in the fondue you have to get naked none of us lost anything phew !! That's a sight no one needs to see (outside the bedroom with the relevant partner )
