I'm not a big fan of vinegary things so didn't think I liked red cabbage as I had only ever had it pickled. But fresh - now that's something else - I love fresh red cabbage!
@didyw I used to take my knives to Palmers the butchers in Halesworth ... first to Charlie then to his son John. Now I have an electric knife sharpener.
@didyw Spit and a sharpening stone should do it - if not, try the steel.
@Obelixx Good on you doing the First Aid with the defibrillator. I think it would take me so long to get it going, that I would rely on the manual effort!!
The day is sunny intervals but the rain seems to have gone on its merry way. It is cooler.
Made Moroccan Lentils for lunch - think I went a bit overboard on the paprika but it has a good bite!! The coconut cream toned that down a bit!
I wish all schools would add basic life support. Hubby said he would be frightened to try, might get sued. When we did the annual updates,it was all staff, Porters, nursing,medics. Lizzie the trainer used to say,"no pulse, not breathing,what are you" usually me in the front row,"dead", she would say,"if you do nothing,they stay dead,you can't do anything worse". I did the training,but have never actually done CPR on a child or baby. My daughter did the course, because the kids were prem
I did a St Johns Ambulance course when my children were babies, and I've updated it a couple of times since first with courses run in our village, then via my work for Children's Social Services ... I do think First Aid courses ought to be more available, and better publicised. Everyone should do one if at all possible.

I'm happy to be able to help people out if needed and it was good to have a reminder of CPR but the fact remains that all my patch ladies are in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I can't see one of those sprinting across the courtyard to grab the defibrillator and bring it back in under 5 minutes. One is a former theatre nurse so I expect would know what she's about with CPR.
I do think everyone needs to be taught the basics.
I have delivered Rasta for her bi-monthly haircut and will take Bonzo when I fetch her so he can have his claws trimmed. We could do it ourselves but this way he gets a ride i the car and a wee walk in town - lots of lovely sniffing.
@tui34 I've just bought a bag of Raz-el-Hanout to make a pumpkin tagine later this week. Love a good tagine.

Your supermarché services rotavators @Busy-Lizzie? That's brilliant! I must tell our W'rose .... maybe @hostafan could manage their garden machinery department
I should have said "and also"! I went to pick up the rotovator at the lawnmower place then drive 2 minutes to Leclerc SM.

Hi everyone. I’ve been off the computer for a day or so, and it’s taken me ages to read back. Sorry about the sad news that some of you are coping with. I hope it gets sorted soon.
One of the tomato seeds I planted in a mini glass house a week or so ago has decided to show some activity. I’ve fingers crossed that it survives long enough to develop into a plant. There is still snow in the ski fields so the weather is still a bit cool.
Lovely little seedling @Pat E. They’re tough little chaps, the seeds survive all year in the compost heap, get spread on the ground in the winter and pop up in the Spring. You sow one at the wrong time in pot and they’ll sulk.
