Hi Paul, It will be a year ago next week IIRC that I had my Op in Addenbrooks.How time flies, and just how much has happened in this year since. My life has revolved around a failed marriage, Solicitors, cleaning the house out of 40 yrs of living in it, Packing prior to moving, washing, ironing etc, etc, Not really the things that one wants or needs at my age. but that’s life, if only we could turn the clock back, but unfortunately, we cannot. In the daytime things are O.K. but going to bed, and sleeping alone still seems strange. As for the Microlight, it was one of those “Gift days” that my X brought me about two or three yrs ago, obviously I wasn’t flying it, but I did enjoy the flight, were I 30 or 40 yrs younger, I would have most likely taken it up as a hobby. I oft get a pair fly over my house at the weekends, at this time of year, heading towards Fenland airfield.I frequently ponder, what would have been my life now, if I had left her 34yrs ago, when I caught her with my best friend that fateful day, perchance I would be happily married to one that one could trust, but when that goes, well, thats just got to be the end. Trouble was I had 3 young kids, so I stayed, these days most would just walk away.Funny old life, aint it?. But for all my buddies on here, I know I could not have coped, especialy if it had not been for all the guys who gave me the means to get legal advice. She has, by dumping all the bills we shared on to me, forcing me to put the house on the Market. I think it will be a massive wrench to go, but it has too many bad memories. I have been told by my Dr that I have for the last 34 yrs, been suffering Post Traumatic Stress, since the day I caught her red handed, since found out she had been with 2 others. Why do you only ever find these things out AFTER the event?.
I find it hard to get motivated to get things done, there just seems too much for one person to cope with.
But onwards and upwards, I have hit rock bottom, and upwards is the only way to go.Now, get back on topic, remember Moggies back from his Hols now, and we know what he’s like, if one wanders off…..:D

Risotto

I am too lazy to worry about using proper risotto rice
I make a load for Saturday tea for the whole family and then use for lunch during week at work (caveat one should not really reheat rice as the food poisoning bacteria in rice is spore forming and reheating rice is up there as being one of the biggest causes of food poisoning in the uk, I do it but if you intend to at least have your eyes open)

Put two pans of water onto boil
Stick some veggy stock (or gravy granules) in one and chicken granules in t other
Put a couple of frozen (and thus cheap) chicken breast in pan one
Poach for 5 to 10 minutes
Take out and cut into smaller bits
Chop up an onion and whatever veg you have to hand
Get third pan (sauce frying or wok) put some olive oil and the onions in
Heat and stir til brown
Chuck chicken in stir til a bit brown
Throw rest of veg in (and a tin of sweet corn if you have in cupboard)
Throw in cup of rice
Stir a bit
Chuck in that second pan of pseudo stock from the beginning
(I like to add some mussels and prawns in now)
Bring heat down to simmer
Leave for 10 minutes stirring occasionally
Get teaspoon take out a few grains of rice and see if cooked
If so heat off and serve
If not chuck in some more liquid and give it another 5

Grate some cheese (strong cheddar for philistines like me)
Dish up
(If keeping some for another meal put in one or more open containers for at least an hour before covering (you can leave cooked food for 4 hours before refrigerating so don’t be tempted to Tupperware it up too quick and get condensation and mold)

Done this one and i recommend it
