Mt God - is it that long since I wrote anything??? I never realised how long it has been - mind u have moved house after death of ageing parent and taking a bit of time coming to terms with new house - living with surviving parent etc. Life has its up and downs - kitchen not my own - and I never thought i liked the cooking that much! never realised I was quite so anal about cleaning either! Someone else making a mess in the kitchen drives me to distraction - but how to clean it without upsetting others?
Sometimes its great that another person is preparing food for me - especially if work has been stressful - but changing established methods of cooking is proving a bit of an upward curve - old style comfort food is not what I want - or need - all the time!
Taking things in turn does not always work either - parents have established routines which they don't like to break - so how often do I bite my tongue to keep life sweet?
