Nobody
seems to sell blancmange powder any more, vital for my trifles as I hate cold
custard. Mrs Quilt has since supplied us
with a dozen or more sachets which will keep us in trifle ingredients for a few years.
When
Ferretfingers finally came home from hospital after his ankle infection (how
simple that sounds!) we had weekly Community Nurse visits to clean the wound
and replace his pico-vac dressing.

Late
today as first thing this morning was taken up with making blancmange for Ferretfingers’
birthday tea.
I usually make a trifle
for birthday tea but Ferretfingers refuses to touch it.
But if I make jelly, blancmange and whip in
separate bowls he will put them together in his dish.
Tomorrow
I shall be off before 8 to set up a LDNE stall at a craft fair in Errington
Hall, Earsdon (near Whitley Bay) so if you're in the neighbourhood...
Mrs Quilt Did you find
proper blancmange?
Bentonbag Fester found some sachets in Morrisons a while ago.
Mrs Quilt lucky!

I was
going to blog this morning but the carpet fitters arrived early and I didn't
want to disturb them by going up and downstairs and in and out of the office
too much.
Then
there was Ferretfingers' birthday tea.
The fitters
have done a lovely job - including shifting all the boxes and bags of books and
yarn on the top landing. Those are all
now in Thunderthighs' penthouse and will have to be shifted back this evening.
The new
stairs and landing carpet is 'fern green' slightly darker than the one that was
put down in 2012, and it feels a lot plusher on the feet.
Adam was
our community nurse today. From now on
he/they will be coming once a week, on a Tuesday, as a lot of the wound has
closed and the rest is scab with skin growing underneath and 'a healthy blood
supply'. So another strange stab of
emotion at the news, mostly relief I suppose.
Anyway
those boxes won't shift themselves. ...
