Sleeping too much

Thanks @Former-Member but sometimes I cheat like tonight. I type on my iPad and have the forum pages open on my phone to look back if I forgot anything, that still doesn't guarantee I'll get it right though or still not forget someone which I know I've done. And I always have that sinking feeling in my tummy after a big post in case I mess it up so it might look easy but I have anxiety doing it.

And I'm not sure if you meant you and @Decadian being the only ones with kids not living at home. thanks for the vote of confidence re teenagers. I know you've both lived through all this and obviously much worse💐 Today I learned that it is so important to go with the flow. My kids behaviour was somewhat average and self centred but they showed up and did their best. One had been partying all night and was not in the best state but he was the first one there with love to give if nothing else and slept all day but he gave the best he could under the circumstances. In the past I would have stressed about it so much and got myself in a state. I've finally come to understand I don't have perfect kids and never will but I have humans that are mostly doing ok and are a work in progress. Sounding a bit @Faith-and-Hope like but it is helping so much to see things through this lense.

Sorry for the ramble. 💜😊

Goodnight @Former-Member 💜😊😴💤

yeah I haven't found them in shops recently even canned ones ok. used to do a great greek salad and always had olives and fetta about. been a while der lol @Former-Member

Looking forward to the warmer weather for Greek salads again @TAB. Mediterranean food is my favourite cuisine. Think I could live on it. I'm not such a great cook but will give things a go when in the mood. Kind of looking forward to eldest coming back because we eat similarly. Bit trickier with youngest one, he is fussy😬

Me too with the exercise thing @utopia. Crazy thing with my dog is the more he has been walked the more exercise he needs. He recharges very quickly too. Good job on filling green bin. I'm finally got mine last week and it's full waiting to go out so I'll have no more excuses. It is the best time of year to garden though.

Ive had a massively big weekend which I've only got until tomorrow to survive and I can tick this box. It has been a pressure cooker for me but I'll survive it I think. I'm kind of looking forward to going home and just putting one foot in front of the other for a while.

PS @Faith-and-Hope do you have a good recipe for dolmades? I think I could live on them for the next month.

Hi @Former-Member ....😊

There are two different types of dolmadthes .... ones made from young grape-vine leaves stuffed with herbed rice .... and ones made from cabbage leaves stuffed with herbed rice and cooked in a tomato sauce (vegetarian) or stuffed with mince and herbed rice and cooked in an egg and lemon sauce ....

Assuming you're talking about the first type ?
