So sorry to hear that you are not doing so well @punkdoc. Try to take it easy, no need to tell you that stress and frustration is simply not good for you. As a sufferer of long covid I have great trouble in trying to decide what to eat, dont really fancy anything to tell the truth. But I do have two 'go to' meals as standby if I really have difficulties. One is a tin of good old fashioned tomato soup warmed up with a good slug of milk and a large knob of butter. If you cant eat the whole tin then save some for the next day. My second meal saver is that good standby chicken broth. Boil the carcass of a roasted chicken with an onion for at least 4 hours - someone will have to eat the roasted chicken first of course, or you could freeze it for another time but do keep some back to mix in with the finished broth. Carefully remove all the chicken bones and then fill the pot up with a load of fresh vegetables. Simmer for another hour adding the chopped up chicken you have been saving. Then squish/mash the whole lot down to form a gruel and serve. You may wish to add a little salt, pepper or a stock cube but try not to make it at all 'spicy'. Both these two tempt me when I am really not fancying anything to eat. Is Moira recovering enough to do some cooking? The tomato soup is really quick and easy to do but I'm afraid the chicken soup requires quite a bit more time. I'm sure everyone on here joins me in wishing you a steady recovery.
Morning everyone, there is a strange yellow orange thing in the sky to the east, anyone know what it might be ? 😉 Sorry to hear you are still so unwell @punkdoc I agree that maybe trying to find something more you can eat will help.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ poor you @punkdoc … take it steady … it’s a horrid virus and you’ll need to take your time … 🤗 For some reason I was awake for a couple of hours in the night … it was very windy … quieter now.
Son has gone to work and OH has made me my second coffee ☕️

Morning all, we have a mild dry day so I think I will get outside and do some tidying up. The Zinnias are looking a sorry mess so need to take them up, I will scatter some seeds around if I can remember where the different colours were as I dislike the garish orange ones. Lovely pictures of Pixel @Pat E they do get themselves in some remarkable places don't they? Hugs to @punkdoc and Moira. I suspect it has hit you harder because of your other health problems, take it easy. I can feel the garden beckoning so i must get a shift on, catch up with you all later.
