h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Last night was another great evening out, went to a pub I've not been in for ages, with the LGBT group... but were a bit crowded in in a corner, but once I moved out from being crushed behind the table, its was a lot more comfortable Remained there, with them, until about 10.30, then W and I went round to the useual haunt just round the corner, the bohemian pub we go to a lot, and had another couple pints there, before wondering home...

Woke up, feeling fine, took levo, plus B-12, and chopped up the black pudding whilst I waited for the sublingual B12 to melt

had some black pudding on toast with my steroids, and then got back into the kitchen and prepared all the ingreidents for another massive beef stew..... potatos chopped, onions sliced, garlic, chili peppers, loads of mushrooms, chopped the diced beef a little finer than the butchers do it, got the tins and stuff ready.... - that is another massive stew 500 Grams or so diced beef, a big onions, 250 G mushrooms, a tin of tomatos, 500 ML pasata plus a little water, a tin of black beans (or where the kidney can't recalls), most of a bulb of garlic, two large chili peppers, two decent sized potatos, beef stock, rosemary, mustard seed, fennel, cumin etc

That's been cooking now, in the lsowe cooker since midday (its now about twenty past 6), guess we'll eat about seven or so so that times in right with the steroids

Felt more or less OK all day, just fatigued or tired... did nap for a while, but didn't doze particularly well this afternoon....

Got a phonecall from a friend, so have to go out tomorrow night with him

not sure if we'll go out tonight or not... maybe jsut for an hour, for something to do, as I've not left the house all day and fresh air is always good

Oedema still painful, as are muscles and joints, but I don't seem to notice it most the time as I just mentally block pain out; like earlier cut myself a couple times whilst preparing the ingredients for the stew, and I didn't feel either of the deep cuts I did Good I guess I can just cut out or igore the pain but, its a bit horrible being so unfeeling all the time, really, like nothing matters

Must have another look at that ballgown I wanted to order... try make up my mind or not to get it its in red of course
