Stop contemplating mortality, punkdoc. Take advantage of having a good rest. Make sure you rest, that doesn't mean gardening. At least winter is coming on so do garden planning instead while you are resting. You can get over this.
Going to supermarket, veg has run out and getting fed up with courgettes from the garden. There are a few runner beans though. Need fruit too, none from the garden as the May frost did for the blossom.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Soon be time for lovely scotch broth soups.At the moment I am still picking runner beans and cucumbers from my garden being that October has been quite mild. Mind you, Dovefromabove has a good idea about the steak and kidney pudding cant beat it really
Pdoc ((hugs))... just thinking .... I assume that your medics are aware of your time spent in the Middle East ... there is a condition called Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus ... don't ask me how I know, I just do.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
That sounds a nasty bug Dove and worth ruling in or out.
I made lentil and bacon soup for lunch with cheesy scones. Not so keen on Scotch broth but I do like a barley "risotto" or even a salad when I can't get spelt grains.
Chappies have duly bashed holes and cemented in a lintel and straight edges. Just waiting for all that to dry before the carpenter chappies can build the walls. Wooden extension for eco purposes.
OH says he's not moving all those lovely stones they've saved until I decide definitively where they are to go....... Funny man.
He's out in the potager re-sizing one of his enormous raised beds to a size I can get to the middle of without arm extensions. Minstrel and Rasta are helping while Bonzo supervises me and the gauntlets. Cosmos is, of course, fast asleep on a cosy sheepskin. He's given up climbing trees, maybe cos he frighted himself when he was still little.

Obelixx ... London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine should have people who know about it ... well, at least, they used to.
We had lentil and bacon soup on the menu plan as we had a gammon hock simmered in the slow cooker last weekend ... but I didn't tell the Washer Upper in Chief to save the cooking liquor .... normally he doesn't need telling, but he says that as he tipped it away he wondered if he was doing the right thing ....... oh well, worse things happen at sea ........ we'll have it again soon.

Hosta Hugs for you Punkdoc.
As has been said , it's " quiet time" in the garden. ( we're not using the W*nt*r word ) so take it easy.
Please feel free to " come in here" and offload any time you like. We're all right behind you.
Rest up and have some nice quality time with Mrs P.

Back from tennis via W'rose ... coffee on offer so invested in a load of that plus pasta and a few other bits and pieces.
Steak & Kidney pie filling and the pastry have both been made - just got to assemble the pie this afternoon.

Pdoc its never easy but do take the advice seriously & REST if that's what they say. Agree with others that staying positive is the only way.
