When is a jelly not a jelly?

I hit the floor running today. When I woke up this morning before my alarm went off, I felt serene and refreshed for a change and lay in bed stretching like a contented cat, until I walked past my clock on the hall wall and saw it said 10.38am.
Holy buggery, I must have either forgotten to set my alarm or I had hit it off earlier, but I was meeting a friend at 11.30am and my hair looked like a birds nest on the top of my head, I had sleep marks across my cheeks and all over my body... no; I should say grooves in my face and a white crust down the side of my mouth where I had been dribbling in my sleep.
To say I was rushing around like a headless chicken to look a quarter normal, was understatement.

After meeting my friend, who at one point was my ex boss, I was going on to rehab, so I had to think quickly of what I could wear to both lunch and then do my exercises in and of course my white cut offs and the white long length shorts were both waiting to be ironed.
Gawd damn it!
I actually turned up exactly the same time as my friend, so we were both 10mins late and we had a really lovely lunch... well after I had read and reread each option to see what I was allowed to eat on the menu and she brought me a pressie too... bonus!
She is making jewellery in her spare time as she still works as an adviser at another university, plays bowls, does umpteen courses and travels a lot. And apparently she stays up even later than me and goes to bed around 4am.

I went on to rehab, did a quick change in the car park into a cooler top and then I went on to have a really good session. I'm hoping that not only will it make me a lot stronger, but help me lose some lbs, as they don't appear to be dropping off in great quantity as promised at the diet club last Monday and I'm sure I'm not cheating.
Maybe my body is just being a bit reluctant to play ball and it will surprise me on Monday... Err I don't think so, pigs will fly first.

I thought I'd show off my creative talents in the diet cookery department and show to Julie that the food which her daughter and I are both now eating is quite filling and yummy, but I realised later that you really should wear your varifocals when reading a new recipe.
Question; When is a jelly not a jelly?
Answer; When I make it from scratch and misread the amount of gelatin sheets that I should have put in the lemonade and the pimms. As a drink it was very nice and as a set jelly it would have been superb, but as it was, it was a failure as we all know, jellies are not meant to be eaten via a straw!
Ah well my cod in parma ham was very tasty, so can't win them all.

Mother was a bit worrying today, as she kept falling asleep non stop while I was there this afternoon. She wasn't coughing nearly half as much which was good news, but she was very drowsy. I had checked the cough medicine bottle to make sure she hadn't taken too much, but it looked fine.
When I rang her later on, she said that she hadn't eaten the soup or the sandwiches that I had made her as she wasn't hungry and was just on her way to bed.
Hope she will be alright. She sounds better than yesterday, just very sleepy.
Perhaps I should take her a jelly tomorrow?

Lots of love Debbie x
