I had a bad night, the cold has developed and I just couldn't settle! When Tina knew I had been up in the night finding a blanket because I was cold, she told me to stay in as she knows I am not well if I start getting cold! I did stay in all morning, didn't even get dressed until lunch time. Did some washing and one or two household chores. When I was out yesterday I bought a jigsaw in The Works. It is a map of the world and I thought it would be good to do when I am laid up. My geography is also very poor so I may even get to have a better grasp of where countries actually are!

I wasn't feeling too bad this afternoon so Tina and I braved the supermarket to get some of the Christmas shopping in. It was busy but not quite as bad as I had thought it would be. We had a trolly each as we both had vouchers to use and we have separate loyalty cards. Tina got me this Christmas bunch of flowers, well, to be truthful not flowers at all, but very attractive.

Quite a while ago I ordered a microwave browning plate, it arrived a few days ago, so when we were out I bought a pizza so that I could try it out. First problem was it wouldn't turn in my microwave so  I had to take it downstairs. Luckily it fitted in that one. The second problem was that there was just a page with recipes on, it mentioned pizzas a lot but nowhere did it say how long they needed to be cooked for! This is what it looks like, you have to heat it up a bit before putting any food in.

I cooked it for a total of about five minutes. I am not actually a pizza lover particularly. The cheese and vegetables were fine, I think the dough could have done with a couple of minutes more. I will try and get more detailed instructions on line.

Have watched some House. Have started sneezing a lot again this evening and I have the runny nose back. Tina did get me some medicine when she went out this morning. Holby tonight and the second part of Last Tango in Halifax.
