Missed bowling again today, not sure Matt would have been up to it, but I didn't get to sleep til around 3 a.m. and was both tired and aching (back in particular) just didn't feel like going. Will try and go this week some time. I could have gone to exercise classes but the same applied.
So, basically a quiet day. I spent a lot of it reading and napping.
This evening I chose Charlotte's Web for us to watch, I had seen it before. Matt commented several times that it was a great movie for kids, but he didn't turn away from it and enjoyed it I am pleased to say. I certainly enjoyed it again. I had forgotten the little girl and only remembered the animals and spiders. Always sad when Charlotte dies. But a lovely film, nevertheless. I guess that's a spoiler but figure most people have seen it. I must admit I am enjoying these TV channels but have no intention of paying for them when our freebies are up.
I just ordered the old man another sweat shirt which he can have for his birthday next month. I hope this one is a looser fit than the last one I bought. It is OK when he is wearing it, but very difficult to take off again. Takes two of us. I suggested we gave it away but he wouldn't hear of it.
I thought this looked an interesting recipe but I must admit I have never heard of American Paddlefish Caviar. If one can't afford caviar we always subbed with lumpfish roe, but paddlefish??? Will have to google that. Seems to be a fairly primitive fish which is also an ancient fossil.

It sounds like your day of rest was well overdue.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you feel better for it.
I think so Sue. And yes, a bit better, thanks.
DeleteHi Jo - Charlotte's Web is a great movie ... so glad Matt stuck it through. The Chinese paddlefish has just been declared extinct ... so interesting your recipe includes its caviar. All the best for the exercise and health improvement - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI agree Hilary, it is. Oh dear, what a shame about the Chinese paddlefish. I hadn't even heard of it before. I wonder how the American version is doing. Dreadful to drive a critter that has been around for millions of years into extinction. We are so careless of our wildlife. Thanks.
DeleteI always cry during Charlotte's Web. It's a movie for everyone. I never heard of paddlefish either.
ReplyDeleteIt is so very sad isn't it Susan. Hilary has apparently.
Deletei have read the book more than once and cried every time Charlotte dies and she is a spider! I will watch this film one day. Glad he likes his sweatshirts even though they are a pain to get in and out of
ReplyDeleteNever read the book Birgit, didn't know there was one. But it is sad when Charlotte dies. It's a good film, you really should see it. Very well done.
DeleteSo was I.
