Since Sunday I have been on the pre-colonoscopy low residue diet. It’s really not that hard to stick to, though I’ve noticed that the food list I was given at the hospital last week varies a bit from other lists I’ve found online. But in general they are similar.
Today I am on the day-before liquid diet, which is obviously more extreme (and way more boring). But that’s nothing compared to when I have to start taking the SOLUCIÓN EVACUANTE this evening. All I remember from last time was that I was gagging after the first glass of this stuff, and I’ll have to drink 10 of them – one every 15 minutes – until finished, and then 6 more the next morning. Wish me luck!

What started off as “what can I do with this chicken breast?” ended up as a rather nice garam masala, after a bit of a fridge forage. I think I should spend a week just using stuff up, or perhaps hold a fridge forage dinner party. Could be interesting. Or maybe just weird…

Cat therapy… helping me hold it together.
And making it impossible for me to get up.

When I moved from the previous Casa Azahar I dumped my cheap old rickety ironing board, which I had bought in Salamanca back in 1993. And since I now have the big tables set up in the “office” part of the living room I thought a small table top board would work fine as a replacement. Turns out I was wrong (though I do like how it neatly hangs up in the hall closet). And so today I splashed out on this ridiculously expensive Brabantia ironing board (though it was 40% off thanks to January sales). What the heck. I reckon it will be the last ironing board I ever buy. Now I just need to find a place to store it…
