Joan, you can of course start up another diary thread.
Oh, no, Malc - this is just what I wanted.
I'll just come in and update in amongst the nonsense and not-so-nonsense and I did see Roger (Roger's alter ego) lying on his back - is there a limit to the number of pages a topic can have?
Have you started on the Dalwhinnie malt yet, Joan?
I've only had one wee one, Roger, since the little jet lag Joan episode, what -a year and a bit ago? Can't believe it's that long. Had a glass of sparkling wine on Friday, but it left me feeling a bit fuzzy on Saturday. Dalwhinnie sounds quite appealing, though. Only a little bit left in the bottle - there's a thought for one of my Christmas presents. How is it that I'm easy to buy presents for and everyone else is so darn difficult? I have to say, I've been feeling a bit jet lag Joanish over the last week - especially the first two days after my op - God knows how much stuff they pumped into me on Friday, but no adverse affects, apart from a slight doolalleyness, which may or may not have been there before all this.
I'm glad to see toh's efforts have inspired discussions about their cullinary skills amongst some of the male members of BP, even if it is just soup. I love Scottish lentil soup. You can't get it in a can here - it's all lumpy stuff. Coles had some for a while, but they've stopped selling it. Come to think of it, there are some lentils in the cupboard - maybe I can get toh onto it. Trouble is, nobody else in the house likes it. I'd be eating it till the cows came home.
Had a quiet couple of days - the weather has been lovely - bit warm yesterday, but not unbearable and it's cooler today. Supposed to be really hot tomorrow, though. Been watching a bit of the golf in Melbourne - Australian Masters. They've got Tiger Woods over - crowds are huge, thank goodness they didn't hold it here, we'd have had punters crawling all over the place - not that they would - logistics too difficult. Toh and I went to the Australian Open last time he was here, which would be a few years ago now. He was just becoming famous then and there wasn't half so much fuss. In fact, there was more fuss about Greg Norman who was there too. Funny how you can tell the crowd is Australian, even when you can't see the gum trees. It's the shorts, t-shirts, hats and sunglasses that are the giveaway. Good Lord, Malc, some of the officials have got shorts and long socks on! We're nothing, if not casual here. On the Saturday morning after my op a handsome, fit looking young man in shorts and a t-shirt appeared in my room - couldn't think why he would be visiting me, in the few seconds it took to realise it was my surgeon.
It suddenly struck me, Diane, reading your last post, that you probably don't have a Canadian accent. I just always assumed you did and I'm the last person who should assume that, seeing as some people would assume I had an Australian accent, which is totally wrong. We'll have no comments from anyone who's heard me recently, if you please.
