I feel well again. Had a nice weekend, with Iain and our mothers (specially my mum - saw her twice and had fun), visited my lovely cousin Anika and her gorgeous boys, saw my grandmother and aunty (briefly, but caught up in the process, and their enthusiasm and love for my baby is always heartening). Thursday was good too, spent the evening with my friend Jules (baby's Godmother too), again, really made me feel better. It takes some work and plenty of love and support to counter the emotional upheaval of the mega doses of progesterone it seems!
Am glad I feel good.
I wasn't feeling ill last week so much as restless and not at peace.
Am hoping this coming week just goes really well. I have the SATC movie tonight with Becca, then the GTT tomorrow, and Iain will drop me at the Hospital early in the morning. He'll be off to Mostyn's that night. They are off to Le Mans the next day. I'll be ok, Tiffany will turn up again on Wednesday too, after I get back from Aqua Yoga and lunch with Mum. Hope she has had a good time in Paris. Mum and I are going to choose wool I think, for hats for the baby ... Mum wants to make stuff for him and the hats are beyond my abilities, specially the crochet ones (most of them!) and I know he will need many hats - poor thing won't have much hair, if any at all, and his first 6 months will be cold. Mum also has such a busy schedule, I think hats will serve well - she'll have time to do them, and finish them, which is such a good feeling.
I have been cooking. Made some yummy food last week, can't work out when I decided to make each item ... it was a bit ad hoc. Good though! The last meals I remember were roast chicken one night and a kind of lamb stew with pearl barley and rosemary, and carrots which was very nice. We've been having some truly delicious cabbage (thank you River Nene - they bring us our vegetables every week). I now have some khitchudi I cooked last night (er, it's lentils and rice cooked with a few spices, it's the ultimate comfort food and possibly the healthiest stodge I know how to make. It can be very creamy (like the one I just made). Might have it with chick peas, maybe with fish, maybe just on its own. Whatever I choose, I'm having some today and can't wait!! Last night we had peppers stuffed with a mixture of home made keema and vegetable biriyani from a Tilda sachet. We had it on a bed of fancy lettuce, and I had sprouted mung beans too, and it was soooo good.
Then we had a little rhubarb crumble each -
I made the crumble part with stoneground wholemeal flour and added some ground flaxseeds, and it tasted so good! The rhubarb is from Iain's parents' garden, and the whole thing was very good.
