I put blankets on the windows and nailed them to the wall. It doesn't look pretty but who the flip cares. We are more than warm at night now. It was -14C here the other day. Not sure today.<br /><br />I love, love, love meditation. Love it. Breathing in and out and that flow, is a huge help. <br /><br />Great on the watch battery.<br /><br />I love eggplant wraps. Not with real cheese but in general, eggplant is one of my top picks!The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-14468698235210212312018-01-04T21:13:39.464-05:002018-01-04T21:13:39.464-05:00Don't use a lot of eggplant myself Stephen, bu...Don't use a lot of eggplant myself Stephen, but this does look pretty good.

I have a lovely gold watch that I can only wear in cool weather as I tend to 'overheat' this causes moisture inside the watch and stops it. It has cost a lot of money to have it cleaned/repaired twice and I get told off for 'getting it wet'. I now wear an old fashioned mechanical watch (no battery) when on Fuerteventura or travelling in India etc and (touch wood) it hasn't stopped yet.<br /><br />I like the sound of that recipe and have bookmarked it to try next time I entertain our veggie friend. By broiler do you mean grill?<br /> Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-85613949892660902072018-01-04T17:09:38.211-05:002018-01-04T17:09:38.211-05:00You're a working girl though Pinky.

I'm trying to do it. I've never been able to meditate cause my brain doesn't stop. I was very happy to hear that even being able to do it for a few minutes a day is helpful. As for watch batteries, I have a bunch of watches that need them but I was a bit put off at the cost of them!
