100% sounds pretty good to me, Chookie, but if you have any concerns it may be good to push further for more precise results - otherwise I would go for 100%

How did you get on connecting to myGov, Chookie? Hope you were successful
DH and one of our colleagues just spent c. 6 hours over the past couple of weeks connecting him to myGov and myGovID, it was a total nightmare, but the succeeded in the end.
My myGov is OK, but my myGovID is completely unobtainable - I have given up on it altogether.

Nagi's big easy pasta salad
Well, this is certainly BIG!!! Made it for dinner last night ... and tonight ... and tomorrow night!
Actually, it is really nice. I couldn't get my hands on basil, but used dill instead. DH thought it would be better made with penne as it is so slippery so you could slip it onto the fork's tines, but I don't know that penne would hold the dressing as well as the smaller shaped pastas. Still, will be making this again in the future.

It was 12 (very long, boring) days K Atie. I still have a bit of a cough and congestion, but nothing like I had during COVID

Definitely soups and stews weather - I love it - I don't need to think of something different to cook, just pull out my list of both alternatives and go for it. Warmer weather is always a challenge for me to think of interesting things to make.
For now, I haven't got the urge to cook back yet, but as the week goes by I am sure I will start prowling around the kitchen once again, recipe in hand, and pots and pans on the cooker!

Finally, I have had a negative RAT so back to my normal routine - rather tired, but good to be doing normal things again.

Judy, I am not sure that there is still a strict seven day isolation rule, but we are always aware that we have a responsibility to our customers and colleagues when it comes to COVID, hence our stay away from work policy. To be honest, those of us who have had COVID recently haven't been feeling enthusiastic about going in to work anyway. I spoke to my GP earlier this afternoon and she said that although I am still showing a positive RAT, it should be OK so long as I mask up, some people just take longer than others to go negative I guess. So, I am now planning on heading back down to Melbourne tomorrow (with soggy washing in my bag!).

Today is day 10 of my COVID isolation and I am bored senseless - I have decided I am going to go home today, unless DH is seriously opposed to that (keeping in mind that I will have to interact with our staff to some extent - if only to pass through the shop to get to the stairs upstairs). We have a strict stay away policy if you have a positive RAT so that may be the deciding factor as to whether I head home or not. I have also run out of clean clothes so if I don't go home I will have to do a load of washing and I don't fancy my chances of any of it drying any time soon.

Tat sounds positive, Mab.
Still isolating with COVID (I have been exiled to Guildford) - it's not as bad as I was afraid of, I am still miserable, but it just feels like a really horrible head / chest cold.

Oh Mab, that's terrible. Hope it heals up soon. I once sliced off a wee bit of one of my fingers and the skin has grown back, but there is no feeling in it.
When you sorted the slicer out, did you find it worked OK? I was thinking of possibly getting one, but I am not sure that it is worth it.

Huge pot of vege stew then made a pot of mashed veges with those that I couldn't fit into the stew pot and used the broth off the mashed veges to go into a mushroom tetrazzini.

Still living a fairly sedentary life - I would love to get out into the garden to get started on ripping out all the new season's weeds, but my physio has told me I am only (theoretically) permitted 2 x 5 minute walks a day (and I am not meant to run them together!) I am trying to be good, but very hard, especially when I am cooking! I am allowed to slowly build up to more minutes. I really didn't believe the literature when they said that it is a 12 month recovery following this operation - I am beginning to believe that now.

Roast lamb and vegetables for the men. Probably a bottle of Ensure for me as I'm not very hungry.
Your system has certainly taken a battering recently, Mab, so it's not surprising you are not very hungry at the moment. With luck it will come back soon and you can start settling down again into your normal routine - be sure you give yourself a couple of special treats, too.

What a horrible reaction, Mab. I think that has got a lot of us thinking about the infusion. With luck, it is simply a reaction that will never be repeated.
Judy, I don't know a lot about FODMAP but I do know that Quirky Jo is (or was) heavily into it so a browse on her blog / web site could be interesting for you.

I had my first infusion for osteoporosis today.
I would also be interested in hearing how this went. Fortunately, at this stage, I am nowhere near needing this treatment but got a bit of a surprise last when my surgeon said I was a scary patient because my bones were soft. I didn't think they were as my bone scans over the years have not been a concern.
