Sunday… So far so good!
Mar 30th 2008PeterGetting My Life Back! & Tech stuff
So far the sniffles haven’t returned, although I seem to be coughing a bit more. However the really good news is that my appetite has returned. Bacon sandwiches have made a welcome return to my diet, as has ‘wet’ food such as Cottage Pie – and of course sponge puddings with lashings of custard! (I guess this is of no comfort to those on enteral feeding, like Chris – sorry Chris – food discussions – especially the ways of preparing a bacon sarnie – have been a feature of this blog in the past!) The Scandishakes and Calogen remain on standby, but I hope I will put on the weight that I lost in the last few weeks – and perhaps a bit more as I am still a few Kg below my ideal weight
On the tech front, I have just carried out a major upgrade to the WordPress software that powers the blog. You, dear reader, will probably notice little difference, except that pages may load a bit faster, but the ‘behind the scenes’ control pages have changed, and the database structure has changed slightly to allow for future enhancements. (Just to re-cap, WordPress is a content management system – all the posts, comments, and data about the poster or commenter are all stored in a relational database, and extracted as necessary to form the HTML pages that are served by the web server. Once data is in a database, it can be presented in a variety of different ways.) I am still finding my way round the new layout!
Olivia has been over today, but my camera battery was flat, so no photos this time – sorry!
Oh yes – I see this is the 300th post! Onwards and upwards!

Tricentury……..sounds like a cricket score.
Well done and we hope the cough fades soon.

Good to hear that you’re on the mend and feeling so much better. The only thing that amazes me is that Easter eggs aren’t featuring on your diet list. Unfortunately for me, they have been on mine. I seem to consume all the chocolate I give up for Lent in one fell swoop!
Take care!
Lots of love,
Liz

Chocolate tends to be a bit too sweet for my taste – and a bit too sticky – OK with a cup of decent coffee though (recently added back into my diet – after nearly two year’s absence!)

Try one of the high cocoa solid versions some can be as bitter as anyone can take. We have a ration of 4 squares of Waitrose Continental plain chocolate, not animal fat as far as I can see. Good for the moral if nothing else.
Try making a hot pot with potatoes au gratin as a base and top good and pound making. You can vary the meat or fish to taste. If you like it creamy use crème fraîche as a base with the fish…….ummm, good job I have had lunch (white sardines, roast peppers and feta in home made bread. Just Assam tea though.

Mmmm – sardines on toast – something missing from my diet for a while – now when is supper….?

Oh thinking about it the white anchovies from Waitrose are delicious but may be a little too acid for you at the moment.
Some frozen (or Cornish) sardines on the BBQ would be good once the rain has departed.
Best stuff
