I hope so Chookie. Had no idea how to follow the instructions to put it together but I treated it like a jigsaw puzzle and if a part fitted then that’s where it must go! Not a good idea to start this process at 10 pm though.

Today I bought a K’A’RCHER window vac, not cheap so it had better be good. Waiting for a cooler day to try it out. Can’t post a picture as somehow I’ve lost the ability to be able to reduce the size of my pictures these days.

Chookie I understand completely, They never seemed to be able to get blood from me even if they got the needle into the right place, sometimes it would start to run then just stop dead. I had them puzzled for years but nowadays I always have success at my local pathology centre, not so good in hospitals though. The nurse always has to call a doctor to do it.  Loved what you did for these ladies.

It sounds like a nice day for the boys Chookie. Do they cook at home at all?

Scones always go down well Chookie.

Hi everyone, just had several pages to read on this one subject alone. K Atie your Christmas period sounded like a nightmare to me, glad to hear everyone is OK. How busy you all sounded in the lead up to your Christmas lunch, I highly recommend a cruise at this time of the year! We enjoyed our cruise even though the weather wasn’t kind to us, cold and windy. 2 weeks of having to do nothing was quite easy to take and mealtimes seemed to come around so quickly. I did quite well with eating, ate a lot more than I do at home and didn’t need to top up with Sustagen. If I had, perhaps I would have put some weight on but at least I didn’t lose any. All too soon it was over and for these past 2 days life has been very busy again.

Hi Blackwood, thanks for popping in to say hello. It’s nice to see familiar names from time to time. I agree with you re the TM31 and that’s all I’ve got. For the amount of cooking I do these days it certainly does me and I don’t like to even think about it coming to the end of its life.
