As I sit here at my computer, t'old man has been looking round for "jobs" to do. The lawn has been mown, he's been for a walk and now I can hear the sound of chop, chopping coming from the kitchen.

He's decided to prepare all the vegetable which are left in the vegetable basket, e.g carrots, onions, courgettes, peppers and mushrooms so that I can make some ratatouille and vegetable soup later this afternoon.

The only thing is that he won't be able to taste the finished product until tomorrow evening or maybe even Sunday because tomorrow he has to have a routine colonoscopy so therefore he has to fast all day today and tomorrow morn in order to have a clean bowel.

He's a devil for punishment he is, seeing as he's getting hunger pangs already ..he loves his food! :))
