 I’m sliding back into nights again and it feels that routine is returning like the ebb and flow of the sea. At least after this run of shifts I have a longer break off than just two clear days , so the jet lag will be minimised somewhat and I can be free of groggy heads and disorientated waking. Yesterday I cooked. I’m still transfixed by Korean food so I cooked chicken, vegetables ( pat choi, baby sweet corn mange tout, with long slivers of carrot) with gochujang ( Korea’s  ubiquitous red pepper paste) and added udon noodles with splashes of lemon and soy . I had already made shrimp, garlic and spring onion gyoza dumplings, so I gently fried them on one side then added a light chicken stock so that the other sides could steam through and boxed them with bokkeun kkae ( toasted sesame seeds) with an accompaniment box of   Kimchi ( fermented cabbage) As I was turning a patient in bed, I think he got a whiff of a garlic dumpling I had just eaten and told me ...

Hello! It's me Little Phoebe. Grandpa and Grandma look after me every Wednesday and Thursday now that Mummy is back at work.

  Some people may recall the 1970s film of the same title  with Alan Alda & Ellen Burstyn which was a gentle comedy about two married people who meet up yearly for 25 years to have a weekend of infidelity, sex and intimacy  Last night I met up with my friend Claire to see the stage version with Kieran Buckeridge  and Sarah Kempton in the lead roles at Theatre Clwyd which is going through a massive refurb  And we both were impressed with the quality of the production which is a bittersweet exploration of a fairly complicated 25 year relationship of a couple who are both happily married. from Going Gently https://ift.tt/8Gn6pch
