Tuesday/Wednesday

I got to the Senior Centre early Tuesday morning and the Kiwanis bake sale was in full swing.  Look at the cakes, they are so nice and all home made, and everything is $1 - or 59p - I think they can go for $2, but Louise says we are providing a service to the seniors, or in my case to the youth at Emmanuel.    I bought the usual brownies to support the sale, which go down very well after the Wednesday meal at Emmanuel.   Today, Wednesday, I knocked up some Scotch shortbread as well because it is so quick and easy, and it went down very well.   It is important to make it with butter and brown sugar, that gives it its melt in the mouth flavour and texture.

Picking up the flowers from Emmanuel on Tuesday morning to take to the hospital chapel I tripped over the kerb in the car park.   I put my hands out to save myself and fell very heavily on my hands and wrists which were sore and painful for a while, but THANK YOU GOD I did not break anything.

I am going to sue the church for $5million for having the kerb there.  It's man made, so it is their fault it is there.    That is no more bizarre a legal action than someone suing McDonalds because the coffee was too hot.

I went round one floor of the hospital this morning, then had lunch with Chaplain Bill.  When I got home in the afternoon there was a bag on my front doorknob.   This was the contents -

My first thought was that Santa's elves were getting a bit ahead of themselves - followed by 'it must be Phyllis' and it was, bless her.  The drink which I've never had before, is Dandelion and Burdock cordial, so I will get some nice mineral water to dilute it.  And that's my favourite marmalade.
