The garden centre and dog groomer trip investigation didn't go according to plan. We went there and drove in, it's a small kind of industrial estate with a few different businesses there. Well, the only one that was open was a car wash....the garden centre/cafe had a notice on the door saying they're closed until February. The dog groomers was also closed, nothing on the door and no phone number. It's a pity the garden centre hadn't put a notice on their huge sign on the roadside to say that they're closed for winter! Still, not entirely a wasted trip as I did take note of the name of the groomers and looked them up on the internet when home. Sent them a message, the lady replied fairly promptly saying she's fully booked until March(!!) - clearly popular, she has very good reviews online. She did say though she would let me know of any cancellations, she does get them now and then.
Husband is falling back into his old ways of sitting in front of the TV all day, I had to ask him a few times to do little jobs I've been asking him to do the past few days. He did a couple, somewhat grudgingly. I don't want him to vegetate his life away, it won't do him any good. There will come a time when he can't do things, I know that, but whilst he's still capable then I think it's best that he should be as active as possible - for his sake as well as mine. And that's what his cardiologist and GP have both said.
On the subject of being active, I really wanted to go for a walk yesterday as it was sunny intermittently, no snow here. However, it was so blinking cold with a strong breeze making it feel even colder, so I didn't. Forecast to be sunny today but still very cold, I'll see what it's like later.
I think I'm starting to get my cooking mojo back. I fancy making a smoked haddock kedgeree for dinner today.....I've got a packet sourdough bread mix in the cupboard so might make that too, baking it in the Multichef.
It's a version of that saying 'if you want something done, ask a busy person'. Booked up means flourishing business and, as you say, satisfied customers. It won't hurt to get on the list ans if you find someone else you can withdraw.
ReplyDeleteIt was beautifully sunny here yesterday bit pretty cold. Today looks dull right now but fingers crossed the sun comes out. I want to do a bit of outdoors work, maybe. :-)
Your food sounds amazing.

Smoked haddock kedgeree sounds divine. Are you settled in your new home now?
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame about the garden centre, but at least you've got details of a good dog groomer. Sounds like you'll be cooking up a storm! xx
ReplyDeleteOur dog groomers is always booked up two months in advance too, we always make the next appointment for the girls while we are there picking them up from the current one it's the only way to get a spot. But it is the sign of a good groomers.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are going to enjoy cooking once again. Hopefully there is a cancellation at the groomers and you can get Betty in.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
