Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Yes .... I'm using "surrogacy" too .... doing creative things here and there, as and when .... intended to be doing some more artwork here with the kids now that we are stationery for a bit, but this flu has thrown a spanner in those works ..... we did manage some on our travels this time, have to get back to finishing one I started before we leave, hopefully.

Have just woken up again, showered, dressed .... sat down to a cup of tea ...

Anyone want one ?

@Faith-and-Hope@Appleblossom@Anony18 and anyone else who wanted to know- discussion with daughter re. DID/"Split" movie has happened and turned out well. Have posted more details in the "Dissociative Identity Disorder Carers?" thread that I started a while ago.

So pleased for you @Smc .... ❤️

On top of my little piece of good news ^ I've had a reasonably productive day. Sometimes "cleaning up" ends up being "put everything on the floor into a box and sort it out later. However, when life is unpredictable, "later" is likewise a very indefinite time. So today I dragged a couple of such boxes from two weeks ago along with a couple from today outside and sorted them out. Not really ultra-sorted, but at least now they're at "rubbish-recycling-oooh, better keep that" level of "sorted". And instead of 3-4 boxfuls, I've got 2 left.  Will follow that up with an easy but late dinner once our son gets home. So what should my treat drink be... maybe the rose milk I've mentioned previously.

@Faith-and-Hope, there's a few recipes online. I winged it a bit. Petals from 2-3 roses (white "heels" removed) , a bit of quince jam and sugar, a little bit of vanilla and some rosewater essence, all in a blender until smooth. Mine came out a little bit purplish compared to the pic I put up, because I used a dark red rose. Stir it as you're drinking so that the tiny bits of rose petal don't settle to the bottom, or you could strain it through a fine mesh tea strainer.

More conventional recipes use a pre-made rose petal syrup, which also turns up in an online search.

(If you're not using roses from your own garden, be careful that they haven't been sprayed. Florist shop roses are a big no-no for that reason.)
