Hi vint1954 and elsa. Saw the neurologist and shrink last week. Had results of latest MRI. Nothing's changed so this is it... Good news ish though 'cos been referred to a specialist hospital dealing with hypoxic and other brain injuries and also my myriad of weird and wonderful conditions... Finally had the bathroom converted to a wet room which is more dignified. Now stressing about my house, benefits and care package due to the evil CONDEMS wanting to take everything away from anyone who's vulnerable... Echoes of Nazi Germany...

Sory to hear you had not been well babybear. I had no idea.

 

Chin up.

 

Not to make light of matters, but have you tried less water and more alcohol!

 

Who is wanting to take things away from you?

How're you both?

 

Not too bad now thanks babybear.

 

2011 was not a great year.

 

Went to my GP in December 10 for the first time in 30 years with a chest infection and a swelling in one of my ( unmentionables). Left hospital in early january 11 with one missing. Testicular cancer.

 

marvelous thing the NHS, because as luck would have it, there was a January sale on, so with the first operation I was given Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. Bless their little cotton socks.

 

Later in the year they followed it up with a free skin cancer.

 

Good news is that I became a Grandfather for the first time. ( how is that possible I hear you ask at the age of 32).

 

Oh and ended 2011 with the company that I work for going bust 2 weeks before Christmas.

 

Heyho, at least I am off of the step and can get back to experimenting with the old cocktails.

 

I have also discovered Raspberry Gin and Vodka, both home made. Seriously delicious.

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

Sorry Duckwaddler, you said Bum. Thats the naughty step I'm afraid.

 

BB will be along shortly with further punishment.

 

If you stuff that bottle of Vodka full of Raspberries and a drop of sugar for a couple of weeks, you won't need a mixer:-D

Ingredients:

 

•300g of raspberries

•350g of white granulated sugar

•1.5 litres (or more) of medium quality vodka (don’t be tempted to go for the cheapest or thr best)

•Sterilised 2 litre Le Parfait jar or 2-3 (70 cl) washed and sterilised vodka bottles

•Extra vodka bottles. We save a few empty bottles throughout the year as the raspberries and sugar fill about one third of each bottle

Method:

 

1.Wash raspberries and discard any bruised/bad fruit. Place raspberries in either a large 2 litre Kilner/Le Parfait jar or divide the raspberries between 2 or 3 (70 cl) saved vodka bottles. If you have to squeeze fat raspberries through the neck it is fine.

2.Using a funnel, add the sugar (divide the amounts if using several bottles) and top up with vodka to 2-3cm from the top.

3.Shake every day until the sugar is dissolved and then store in a cool, dark place until you can resist it no longer (leave for at least three months, we usually let it mature for a year).

 

Forget the 3 months waiting, it is ready in 4 weeks.
