    So happy to hear from you Tracey. <3
    Those financial loan people are criminals. I hope the lawyer is able to sort something out. (((HUGS)))

    Had a Waitrose delivery after lunch. Dinner is salmon fillets with leek and fennel in crême fraiche. I've prepped and pre-cooked the veggies, ready to put the salmon and crême fraiche in later.

    There is a teacher's strike on Wednesday. My son quickly nabbed two morning places at the Art Club's emergency sessions, but he has to work over lunch, so we will collect the girls at midday, give them lunch, and keep them until around 2.30. No problem. I have a Zoom at 4 and normally it's our painting day, but it's all fine. We are painting on Thursday afternoon at the Pottery place! We have Edie this Saturday for painting anyway.

    Love to all. Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I woke up with a grumpy tummy, and have taken two Imodium Softgels. I hope they solve the problem asap.

    I watched old westerns on TV with DH last night . He was sleeping when I peeked in this morning. I’ll check in on him a bit later.

    Beth - hoping your family is getting over the crud - you continue to feel well, DH doing better, your son breezing through it.

    Rosemarie - these Facebook cooks making high protein dishes aren't doing anything we can't find ourselves in cookbooks or online recipe sites, except they present it in interesting videos, "cooking show" style and I need that type of inspiration these days.

    I ran across another one - B. Dylan Hollis. He's not into high protein or anything necessarily healthy, but he has such a fun and animated way of presenting old recipes. I'm tempted to try the Almond Joys! Here he is:

    I can see him getting his own TV show. :p:D

    :) New ladies!! Welcome, welcome. When I first found this group, someone said it's like a "salon" = cozy cafe. Different conversations at different tables. There's the fun table, the support/listener/good cry table, the cooking and recipe table, the health/weight loss table, etc. Some of us jump from table to table. All the time. :p It's really OK to sit by yourself in the corner and just listen. For as long as you want.

    This came from Lanette and I thought it was worth sharing again in case you missed it. I love this description of us/

    Sandy from Kentucky— Welcome to a great group of Women. My DH has been an insulin dependent diabetic for more than 50 years, beginning before we met. He takes insulin shots daily. Have you gone to a doctor who specializes in diabetes? It is a good idea. I hope you will find the right doctor for you. Perhaps you’ve already found that doctor. I hope so. ⭐️

    Welcome new ladies!!!. This definition is perfect!! That is exactly what this group does. I’ve been in it since the beginning and they are the best bunch of people ever! I love them and the thoughts and ideas and love from all over the world. All different but all worth considering until you find what works for you!

    Welcome again!
