Davina's diary

[Katie Jade]

OMG, going to have to break diet  week on Sunday I think... Aficionado of the Manchester golden mile, and the centre of Leicester (all good Indian restaurant areas) - don't to Phall any more.. Only when I was  doing degree in Mech eng  in Coventry... Never again... prefer aromatic Indian Quinine and Saag recipies I think.. like to OD on ginger, Lime and coriander though.. Still looking for recipe's for curries with them in a lot, otherwise apart from the grilled goats cheese one from Delia (Celeb chef) with capers  garlic, coriander, French whole grain mustard etc. im lost.  So love that combo. Once had a Garlic curry in Whitehaven with Ex before any kids - weekend at an old mates 1 bed flat. 2Lb garlic and 1/4 lb rice it seems. Still kept people away from us for days including during the local brewery tour... we got all the best stuff of course...

Anyway Im up for work in 6 hours so Ill sign off.

Luv n Hugz

  Your BFF doesn't like India food?!?! Well that will never do. And here I was just thinking how cool your having a BFF was to chat up and get advice from and now you tell me she is fundamentally flawed. It just won't do I tell you. You must either get her to like food with an India flare or get another BFF who does.

I'd be a bit careful here Davina you know Laurie's reputation for fridges...

10 mins left of my lunch break and have to tell about last nights shenanigans. My BFF was singing in a small pub/wine bar/ eatery so her friend and myself went as well. We both got roped into being the backing dancers/tambourine players, Deb and the Transettes !!!!!!! Had a whale of a time and got to bed at 1.30 am (yawn)   

[JudiBlueEyes]

I would have loved to have seen and heard that.  I bet you were awesome!

[davina61]

Unfortunately there is phone video footage !!!!! Last night ended up at the pub again to see a band, great time and got thanked again for Thursday nights meal by one of my guests to quote "that was awesome" . Just got back from VW show, spent to much but have the bed and some seals for the panel van and ordered a disc brake kit, Saved myself some ££s as 10% off and free postage. Need to check the veg cooking laters chaps

 Got sent to my BFF by the barman , as a complete computer numpty  that's not going to happen. Got Madamed today by the ice cream van man, also had a nice chat with lady on jewellery stall. She does pride events with her retro stuff and found me a necklace to wear to UK meeting.

5% interesting 95% boring everyday stuff, but that's life. Got a nice clean pallet from work today to do some craft with, a blow torch and wax can make some nice effects. Turning cooler , cloudy and windy tonight. Recon its a nice hot shower and PJ time , shame I don't have any chocolate and wine
Need to see my GP to find out if she has sorted out my recommended increase in E patch, first available time is 1st Oct, WT* . Looks like I will have to drop a letter in and might get a phone call. Also need them to change name in online patient site

Well that make 3 nights fallen asleep watching TV and it was stuff I wanted to see, better tonight. Just ordered some spices , ran out of tamarind paste , curry leaves and some stuff cant get local like methi (fenugreek leaves) gee , chapati flour. Load of flies have appeared in my flat , so far my tally is 4 nuked but 3 still about . Where do they come from? as windows have been closed for weeks and only time door open is when I go in or out. 3 days till on holiday not that I am counting!!!!!much

@davina61
Dear Davina:  I trust that you can get more rest and sleep all through the nights so you can watch the late evening television programs  that you want to see... without falling asleep.
Wow, that is a lot of spices...  I have not heard of a few...  I perhaps need to taste some of your cooking and recipes some day...  I see the pictures that you post of your food offerings, looks mighty tasty.

The flies that "bug" me most up where I live are the big biting flies, like horse flies.... but fortunately not a lot of them make it into my house.  The ones that can be a problem are the little fruit flies and tiny gnats that always seem to come around when I have fresh fruit and veggies in the house in the warmer summer month or two....  they come and then they go.

Thanks for posting your latest life events!!!!!
Hugs and well wishes as always,
Danielle
