Breakfast


Eldest daughter stayed and treated me to her signature dish Eggs Benedict. Nom, nom, nom... as young people say these days

  1. Looks tasty. Hope you're feeling better today and not more sore from your outing. Now what will I have for breakfast?

  2. My leg feels ok today, thanks. A near miss. It's amazing having the family home like this. We haven't all been together at home since last February. Whisky is a bit confused but he keeps sitting on my fracture site and purring loadly into my cast. Apparently, the low level cycles of a cat's purr (20-120Hz) can promote bone growth, help heal fractures and tendons. Who would have thought it?

  3. What a glorious breakfast! The thing about cat purrs was in Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake" - never knew it was actually true. And how lucky you are to have a cat that's read it too and is willing to oblige.

    So glad yesterday's mishap had no lasting consequences. It's so scary (when I was first let out of a cast and onto crutches, the taxi I took in order to avoid all the crowds on the pavement had a shunt and my injured knee went into the back of the driver's seat. I will admit to not only howling in pain, but being horribly scared that it would set me back; too a while to build up my confidence again after that). You'll just have to expect that there will be downs as well as ups, and be grateful for your lovely family and feline assistance.

  5. Cats can heal fractures? We have two geriatric cats who purr just if you look at them, never mind pushing them away from your face (their favourite spot). I could make a mint on the ortho ward!

    Glad today is a good day, good family time can also lift a bad one.

    I love Eggs Benedict.... recipe?

    Wow. That's one knowledgeable cat. I think he should be given a hospital manager's post instantly. He couldn't do any worse and he might actually do some good. :-)

    Those tomatoes look absolutely divine. So glad you're on the up and up, XTM.
