What significant things have I done today?

[Opsa]

Indeed I did, now, we married in Colombia where the equivalent for April fools is December 28th or the day for the Holy Innocents, but later when I realized that it was April fools (a few months after I arrived to the States) it seemed incredibly appropriate...

Beautiful! Wish I'd thought of it!

When we got married March 21st was the first day of spring. Then they changed the first day of spring to  March 20! Who's the fool, now?

Me...

^^ When did they change it? I was puzzled all day yesterday. And who said it could be changed?

An amazing thing has happened to me. A friend I made through the local ME/CFS group has got me fixed up with her cleaner/helper. She came to see me today. She is going to clean my grotesquely filthy flat, and she will help me sort out all the heaps all over the floors and surfaces and chuck half my cupboardfuls out (charity shop) so I can put things I actually need in the cupboards, and I think all sorts of other help. She is a "professional" carer for the elderly, and she knows all about ME/CFS from my friend so understands why I have been/am so feeble. This could be life-changing........ doesn't come cheap but will be well worth it.

That sounds great!

That's fantastic news, Griff!  Happy for you.

That's good news, Griffin, I hope it goes well.

Opsa, I missed your post yesterday so I didn't drink to you, but we will tonight.  Seems to me when you've chalked up 25 years you're through most of the highs and lows and onto the smooth(er) parts.

[Opsa]

One can only hope, good Sibling! 

Griffin, I'm glad you've found some help!

[Griffin NoName]

Congrats Opsa. Manny more years to come.......

We all made hot cross buns at Friday Club, which was a huge success.

[Opsa]

Yummy too, I'll bet.

Dragged my self out of bed and went to work.  

Oooh!
Nettle soup?

I made it last year.  So far this year, the nettles have found their way into various dishes instead of being a main focus. There's probably a few weeks left of the season, so some may find their way into a nettle soup.

Do you have a recipe? (general instructions or a rough ingredient list will do)

I'll see what I can find. I might need L's help with translations.

Pie with Feta cheese and nettles instead of spinach or mangold is also a hit. Just replace the blanched spinach/mangold with blanched nettles and maybe tweak the saltiness and you are golden.

Dusted off and donned the Easter headdress and updated my sigline.

Noticed(!) and fixed the size of the sig: point sizes are designated differently here than on other boards and when I changed my default notes for this board I forgot to add "pt".

So a sweet little note   like this

appeared like this:
Yea, the Various Peeps appear on the Earth
I scared the soon-to-be-risen-bejesus out of myself  when I saw my entire sigline SCREAMING at me!   

I feel the urgent need to go shop for chocolate bunnies to recover from the shock...
