Hi all,
I don’t think I am coping so well. I seem to be feeling not quiten right all the time these days. and I do try to distract myself by doing things in the garden for a short time only. I seem to spend a lot of time planning ways to overcome my barriers to doing certain tasks.
My daughter and son-in-law and myself spent a good hour or more in the garden centre, trying to figure out what was needed to install a pot watering system as I have 36 pots in my back garden and I can no longer hold the hose for the time necessary to water them.
I I did manage to make a boiled fruit cake this week. It did take me two days to do it and I had to wait for my carer. To get it out of the tin as it was too heavy for me to hold in one hand. I adore boiled fruitcake and this recipe is full of mixed fruit, walnuts and cherries and is very moist to eat hence it is a very heavy cake. It keeps for ages in an airtight tin or you can freeze it. I dislike bought cakes They are all very overpriced and tasteless in my humble opinion.
It is a cloudy damp day here which seems to make my breathing more difficult and therefore I tired much more quickly. I hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend. Marylin
