\"\"<\/a>First off, thanks so much \u00a0for all the positive feedback re the BBC Radio Scotland program on the peri-menopause. Amazing that so many women suffer in silence when it is something we will all go through. If you didn’t hear it then you can do so on Sunday or on i-player, the show is\u00a0called Medical Matters if you \u00a0click HERE<\/a> you will get to it.<\/p>\n

I do think I’m losing the plot though. Last week I went to the gym 4 times. Thought I might die of personal pride. A new me, a changed woman, someone who had got their exercise mojo after many years of trying. Well here I am 7 days later and I haven’t been near the place.<\/p>\n

Actually that’s not strictly true. I did drive there on Monday morning and the car park was full and it was wet and rainy I did a couple of drive pasts and just came home for a warm drink and a muffin.<\/p>\n

I have one of these attached to me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shortly after that I \u00a0drove off to Inverness for the night through stormy weather only to arrive at pals house where instead of going for a bracing walk I settled down to eat a fabulous meal. Really.\u00a0Shaun is a farmer and one of the best cooks I have ever seen. I talked and sipped wine as\u00a0he produced\u00a0an amazing meal which consisted of lots of goodies\u00a0left over from their wild\u00a0weekend consisting\u00a0of venison, which he served up with a giant yorkshire pud – his speciality and my fav! – and dauphinoise potatoes made with sweet potatoes. I know I hadn’t thought of that either- here’s the recipe<\/a> just swap out normal tatties for sweet ones.. Anyway this delicious feast was all drenched in the most delicious gravy – his secret ingredient for the grazy \u00a0is Chinese 5 spice<\/a> – well not so secret now. I then collasped on the couch with two spaniels. Never happier.<\/p>\n

The next day I was good and\u00a0had a cup of tea for\u00a0breakfast and then was scoffing a goats cheese tart by 10.30am. You will have detected\u00a0the exercise mojo is long gone but the food mojo lives on.<\/p>\n

Herbie - my car's role model.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Driving back down the road\u00a0later the same day \u00a0my car went into House of Bruar<\/a> without me even telling it. Herbie Rides Again. I bought a tub of olives stuffed with sun dried tomatoes and a jar of lime curd. All the olives didn’t get all the way home, I made the usual mistake of putting them on the passenger seat so I had them opened and in my chops within 500 yards of leaving the House of Bruar<\/a> car park.<\/p>\n

Home to a salad and mineral water? What do you think? Walking today though….to meet a pal for lunch……..c’est la vie – joie de vie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
