Exchanging kefir for milk in an American pancake mixture, we made these for our tea one night:
They were delicious!
Our trip to see DS and family is cancelled:(
We thought it would be but it is so sad when it happens. He has returned safely from the USA (I hate him flying),but Covid symptoms have reared their ugly head again so now, after landing at Heathrow, he is down south with DDiL's family until fit enough to travel.
We were only a couple of days away from going and it was turning into too much of a rush. They wouldn't have had time to sort the house out, do food shopping etc. Even though he is in good hands, there is nothing worse than a mother who can't tend their unwell 'child' even when it is no longer their job and they wouldn't want you to anyway.
We were hoping to celebrate several birthdays at once and was looking forward to seeing them all. Hopefully another visit can be rearranged asap, but with their busy schedules, who the heck knows.
Karma can be a sod at times. The black dog has been slowly nipping at my heels for a while now and these everyday life events just seem harder somehow because of it. Ridiculous I know but there you go.
Well, on the bright side, I don't have to worry about the garden whilst away. We are due warm weather again and although my neighbour would water it well, I still worry as it is coming into its full stride now.
Just harvested my second slightly large yellow courgette and the tomatoes are growing well.
I think this year is turning into yet another one where plans are thwarted at the last minute and there's almost no point in even making plans. It's no wonder that so many of us are taking it in turns to house the black dog for a while.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the warmer weather and the knowledge that your son is at least in the same country as you for a while helps somewhat and sends the black dog scurrying back to his kennel.
I’ve given it a good kick but still it returns, damn thing.
DeleteThat's so annoying and very sad. Hope a new date can be re-arranged soon
ReplyDeleteSo do we!
DeleteWhat a shame...think back to your rationing years and the people who did it during wartime...they too had many months even years not even knowing where their menfolk were...hard as it is when plans don't come to fruition try hard to think of a time when you will be reunited and ways to make it extra special...if only that darn black dog could be trained. xx
ReplyDeleteVery true but then they probably didn’t visit each other often anyway if they lived elsewhere. I feel very envious of those whose children and grandchildren are close by.
DeleteI think that when our boys came down with Covid I phoned every day!!! I so wanted to be there and nurse them both through it. I do hope you get to arrange a new date very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
We spoke (not face to face) briefly via apps but not the same thing. Yes we hope so as well.
