Woke to alarm at 0800. Got up and made tea…got back in to bed and read for awhile. Warmed up the remains of yesterday’s porridge for breakfast, then drove dad down to the doctor’s surgery to see the district nurse. I dropped him off and parked around the back of the surgery, then walked down to Waitrose in the drizzle. Did a little shop, then went back to the waiting room to wait for dad. The nurse seemed happy with progress, but put a fresh dressing on and told him to come back on Monday. Drove home for a cuppa. Cooked lunch…made potato cakes to use up Kath’s leftover mashed potato from last night. Then set about making a dahl for tonight to accompany dad’s chicken tikka masala. Then I cooked up a beef and pork ragu. Fried some extra chicken to put into the chicken tikka, which we ate this evening with rice, yoghurt, and a good dollop of dahl…had enough dahl left to bag up eight portions to stick in the freezer. Got carried away with the lasagne, and made a bechamel sauce. Layered the thing up, and topped it with mozzarella. Will bake it tomorrow evening…should get nine portions out of it…it’s huge! Collapsed onto the sofa around 2115. Went to bed after watching the Ten…exhausted! Aki FaceTimed. She’d been watching Rashomon on the bfi player…
