I'll be at a place called Pinoso next week, just inland from Alicante. The forecast is rain every day with highs of 13. ☹️

I'm in Kent and it's another lovely morning. The birds have found the fat balls and mealworms I put out for them and they make the back garden a nicer place.

I have a pair of tits in my garden. They're often seen around my fat balls. :thumbup:

Things that make me happy = Puerile humour.

Rhubarb. Just picked some from my Mum's garden. Apparently (says a Google search) it's best to pick it when the moon is nearly full and not when it's waning - no idea if that's true but I missed the full moon by 6 hours. I've just tried some raw and it's pretty delicious. It's got to be Rhubarb crumble! I'll start my diet on Monday.

A nice hot pasty and a cup of coffee, sat on the street in the sun watching the world go by

Coming home from the pub, banjaxed, and find the local take away place will still deliver you a 20" meat feast pizza. We attacked it like Great White Sharks on a dead whales carcass! :thumbup:

That's not a proper pasty. The crimp is on the top, it should be on the side.

Downloading my data from google and came across an old calendar. 25th of February next year will be ten years of quitting the fags :thumbup:

A friend from the valley came up to see me yesterday. She brought my sewing machine back so that's cool as can give a friend up here hers back and use mine :D :D

But, Jess also brought me some beef bones from her butcher :bblonde: Today I will be making bone broth - well, banana cake first (I've promised some to some friends in my building - handy to warm up the oven!), then roast the bones a bit, then into the pressure cooker to make bone broth. Good for healing apparently - blooming excellent as stock for soups and stuff :bblonde: :bblonde:

Sometimes some friends have too much rhubarb - I get the overflow! :bblonde: :bblonde: Blooming lush in a crumble :bblonde: :bblonde: Enjoy!!

I grew some from seed four or five years ago. We always have too much. We'll probably have even more too much this year because I dug up one of the plants and separated the crowns and made it into five plants. My next door neighbour told me last year that she's the only one in her family who likes rhubarb after several years giving her the surplus thinking it was for a family of four. :D

Went out last night to see my friends band. They were great, but the best part of the night for me was being able to give them a decent tip, while explaining that the free Facebook gigs they put on during that first lockdown were really important to me. At that time I couldn't afford to donate very much but now I can.

If I ever have somewhere with a bit of ground, I want to try and grow things like rhubarb - not sure it would thank me for trying at 2000m but I'd give it a go :D :D

I bought just over £50 worth of first class stamps. They're going up from 85p each to 95p each from 4th April so that's about a fiver I saved. :)

If you need 'em, buy 'em now.

While we're talking about stamps: "Non-barcoded stamps will be phased out but will remain usable until 31 January 2023 ... non-barcoded stamps can be exchanged for the new barcoded version through Royal Mail’s ‘Swap Out’ scheme [which] will open on 31 March 2022.

Just back from physio. Lots of little happies going on; he's cute, he's fun (when he's not being psychological on me), bi-lingual and can do word play across the two languages but the main thing today -

apparently my leg is recovering better than expected :bblonde: :bblonde: Last week I asked him to look at my shoulder and right foot/knee, all suffering from using crutches. He said then that he would at some point but that the fracture was the most important for now

Today I went in early to do the exercises (can't do them all at home yet) and he watched me do them as he was helping the others in the gym and offered to check my shoulder because "my knee is more mobile than expected and the swelling has gone down hugely" So, I'm very happy. I did ask him to work on my right foot instead today, but if I go in early on Weds, he'll work on my shoulder :bblonde: :bblonde: :bblonde:
