    May chitchat

    Happy May Day!

    One of the nicer months of the year in my opinion because the weather tends to be mild and even sunny, with spring flowers popping out everywhere.


    What have you been doing lately if you're reading here? If you're reading here, you might as well chime in. The space is here for you to express yourself.

    I'm still watching the occasional movie on a DVD from the local library while crocheting hats. I turn out about 30 hats a year, and they eventually go out for distribution among homeless people. There are quite a few homeless people hereabouts, and the winters here are milder than in some parts of the US but they're not really mild enough to survive very well without a roof over your head and some heat.

    I'm getting used to the shower chair and liking it. My Talking Books player gave out recently after only about 5 months of use. Usually they last for years. I waited many days just to get a response from the library that sends these materials out but finally heard yesterday that a replacement player is coming my way. This news made my day as I listen to periodicals and books on this device and have been doing so for over 40 years. I'm not blind, not even legally blind, but people with MS are often eligible for the (free) government National Library Service Talking Books program because we have vision problems as well as impaired hand and arm function that makes holding printed material difficult.

    That's my story for now. What is yours?

    I've been walking round the outside of the block of flats I live in,accompanied by family members. Using my stroller. I'm still nervous about my forthcoming appoint at Oxford on the 28th, re the Barrett', but less so than I was. Possibly starting to get osteoarthritis in my right knee.

    Friday is slow cooker casserole day. Results have been mixed. Lamb- quite good,but expensive; chicken-tasty veg and sauce but chicken not very flavoursome; Liver 1st attempt- Liver powdery = cooked too long, 2nd attempt adjusted cooking times based on advice from AI =powdery liver, rock hard veg. This Friday I'll be doing a beef casserole.

    Aphantasia has put a major dampener on my book reading. I read a non fiction book very infrequently . Still persevering with the genealogy, but progress is glacial. Wasn't pleased to find out,purely by chance, that my late father and stepmother had, as a Facebook friend, someone who might have been able to help me with my research.

    Have had a very itchy back. So itchy I've got scratch marks down my back.
    Yet inside there is this perpetual nagging doubt;
    the feeling we are possessed by a 'subtle lack of togetherness''.

      You do some ambitious cooking! I've never cooked calves' liver, maybe because my mother did it so well that I was afraid any results I could come up with would be dreary.

      I've cooked lots and lots of chicken liver though. Great snack for a cat.

      Itchy back? i hope you have a backscratcher. I've had spells of an itchy back too. Very annoying, and for some reason I always have them at the end of a day.
