WEDNESDAY

It's been a while since I visited here - had friends to stay and things to do.  My MacBook Pro has come back from its service, thank goodness - also thanks to my iPad which I used instead.  I'm such a geek that I can't be without my internet connection or I fail to thrive.  This week has been quite busy, actually, culminating in a take away curry last night which was delicious - I had a prawn puree, only, as I couldn't manage the onion bhajees that I'd also ordered.  So I had them for lunch today, along with a slightly bendy poppadum.  Tonight I'm having a prawn baked potato.

The news is full of Ukraine and Crimea - it resembles the Cold War standoff.  Until recently, I'd thought that the main problems I dealt with during my RAF career - the Soviet Union and Northern Ireland - had disappeared; but not so.

Right - off to do some washing.
