Before I trot off to Dad’s

Lili seems to be pretty good. I won’t say that I don’t think she’s a little uncomfortable after eating, but I’m limiting her food to very small amounts, leaving it an hour and then giving her some more if she asks for it. She hasn’t lost any appreciable weight that I can see, but she was nicely covered to start with, probably a little bit overweight, so that’s helped to cushion her. She’s not drinking overmuch either, which is a good sign. And she’s not throwing up. I’ll keep giving her little food in future, to lessen the liklihood of her vomiting. So fingers crossed.

Thanks again to everyone who left comments, emailed me, left message on FB etc. You really are a lifeline at times. 

I’m REALLY looking forward to The Pillars of the Earth on TV on Saturday. I haven’t read the book, but the series looks rather fabulous. It will have to stem my need for armour and horses until Ice and Fire comes out.

I walked in the room to watch it, saw green table grapes displayed in a bowl in the table in a stonemason's house, and walked out.

I remember reseraching this for Transgressions and found that the ancient egyptians first discovered the mutation to develop green grapes. The improvement of dessert grapes began in the 16th century, making them bigger and sweeter, but they would have been around for the rich. Granted - the grapes weren't much to eat, they certainly wouldn't be the sweet things they are today, but they would be symbols of richness. although - if they were on a poor person's table, i'd certainly have rolled my eyes.
