Journaling:
The week started with lots of company and activity. Laura
and Elizabeth visited on both Thursday and Friday. On Thursday Elizabeth was having a great time on the play mat, looking like she wanted to crawl away, even though she has yet to roll over. Friday was more of a cuddly day and she enjoyed “Grandpa magic” snuggling on the recliner. Guinness was a bit stressed by it.

Our culinary adventures were at extremes this week with vegetarian portobello mushroom parmesan on the one hand and then a tater tot covered hot dish as comfort food on Sunday evening. All very tasty.

Dylan was over on Saturday and we made burritos. For the first time we tried a method of doing the beef using the broiler - it worked really well, gave good deep flavour that you don’t get in a frying pan and we didn’t set off the smoke alarm which is what usually happens when I use the broiler. We played a fairly complex game of Warhammer 40K after lunch. On Monday Jason had a haircut and eye appointment so we ate lunch at the Kingshead Tavern. Fish and chips with a pint of beer brought a big smile from Jason sporting his new hair (or lack of hair).
