A rather cooler and windier morning but we set off anyway for a walk and lunch in Maldon's Promenade Park. For once the tide was high when we arrived, and it always looks at its best with plenty of water in covering the acres of mudflats.

Perhaps fortunately for the weekly processed meat allowance, ourv favourite cafe wqas out of sausage rolls so we shared a Steak Bake between us. The sun came through and there were more people in the park than we've ever seen there, even in the height of summer.
After getting home I made two batches of butter - one "hard" and unsalted and mainly for cooking, the other "spreadable" and lightly salted for toast, sandwiches, etc.. And did the weekly clean of the cats' drinking fountain as well as cooking the house speciality dinner of pork loin in apple sauce with mashed potato left over from Tesco's Christmas vegetable box.
Why can't I persuade anybody else to make their own butter? It's simple, satisfying, and you know what's gone into it. All you need is a food processor. Give it a try!
On the Myeloma front, welcomed a new Admin to the Facebook Myeloma Support UK group to bring our numbers up to five again after one quit (his wife, the myeloma patient, died recently - but from COVID not nine years of myeloma). Nothing else new. I dropped the nightly Senna b3ecaus3 of the good chance of boules at Epping laterb this morning. It's a tactic that has worked OK so far. After that I have a prescription or two to collect from the GP surgery - must admit to having slightly lost track of things over the holiday period. And regular online backgammon with my unofficial medical adviser will resume after a a break for the holiday period.
