Saturday I slept on and off, Covid booster aftereffects, between watching a Foyle's War episode
and reading Sayers' Unnatural Death.
There was a welcome rain, saving me from watering my seedlings.
I made an apricot sauce to go over yogurt, about all I was up for today, after managing roast potatoes and an egg for lunch. A touch of amchur, mango powder, gave a great citrus flavor, and it set up very nicely.
All's well. My energy is taking a day off. I did manage to change the bed and do a load of laundry, so there's that.
Happy day everyone Ted sez.
Apricot sauce. My mouth is watering. Hope the reaction passes quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like the apricot sauce, which set up like a preserve. The flavor is so much better than the stuff you buy, even the expensive kind.
DeleteI watched a couple of episodes of foyles war. But it was changed to another time slot and I never found it I might have to try and find it.
ReplyDeleteI’ll add it to the must watch list
It exists on DVD, too,so you may want to see if that helps. It's definitely worth finding such acting and production.
Delete'Covid booster aftereffects'. Really? You don't an excuse to have a lazy day, and you did get stuff done. For my ninth vaccination two weeks ago, I didn't even have a sore arm. I had a 'flu shot at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThat's words to live by -- no need for an excuse. I do feel obliged to be busy, no idea why! I don't think I've ever had a shot without a reaction. My son scarcely misses a beat.
DeleteEnjoy a duvet day.
ReplyDeleteI must note that expression. I think I should learn the art of having a day of nothing much.
DeleteHope the booster effects are gone today!
ReplyDeleteMuch better now, thank you. This was one of the milder ones.
DeleteIt does affect some, but it is one complaint that I don't have.
ReplyDeleteI think you have enough, so I'm glad you're spared one anyway.
DeleteLoved Foyle's War...many years ago when I watched it. Just watched a Brit Box of early Miss Marples. The best thing of aging is not always remembering the plots!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's all new again! I own a couple of DVDs of miss marple, with Joan hickson, my favorite of all the Marples.
DeleteThe night after I got my covid shot, I slept for 12 hours! Practically unheard of, but that was the effect on me as well.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good response to me.
DeleteHere, the pharmacies all advertise that they've got covid vaccines, but I have noticed that our doctors, while they urge the pneumonia and shingles vaccinations do not say one word about covid. Of course there is a TESLA in the parking lot too.
ReplyDeleteThat's odd. It's as least as present as the other ailments.
DeleteWell, you still were a bit busy for a "relaxing day"! Glad you are feeling better already.
ReplyDeleteI tend to do more than I think I've done.
DeleteIt's good to hear that you're doing so well. Your cooking always sounds creative and intriguing. Apricot sauce! We had apricot trees in Calif. when I was a kid. The scent of the blossoms was heavenly.
ReplyDeleteJust the idea of apricot trees is amazing. I don't think there are any locally. Peach, yes.
DeleteI just look at the day after an immunization as a day of mandated rest.
ReplyDeleteI tend to think of rest ss something that happens when I collapse! Doesn't come naturally.
DeleteChanging the bed and doing laundry is a pretty busy day by my standards!
ReplyDeleteYes, I wasn't as idle as I thought before I wrote it down.
DeleteYou need a relaxing day. The apricot sauce sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very talented at relaxing, but I'll work at it. Oh, wait..
DeleteI really need to revisit Sir Peter!
ReplyDeleteSayers has dated, but there's still plenty of entertainment there.
DeleteTaking a nap is good for healing. We just need to rest at times.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things I can't seem to remember.
DeleteA sloth day is definitely warranted. They're something I can't seem to force myself to do because I get bored and have to get up and do something.
ReplyDeleteNail, head, bang!
