Some time ago, I bit my cheek, but the consequent swelling did not subside. Things have suddenly gone from bad to worse and my tongue, inner jaw and ear are all very painful. To cut a long story short, I have been diagnosed with shingles in my mouth. Not very nice and I am feeling rather down!
The pain killers and the oral gel prescribed for me do appear to be helping, so I hope to be much better soon!
It is my birthday on Sunday, but we have decided that celebrations and a meal out will have to wait, as eating is painful, especially if there are any herbs and/or spices involved. Meanwhile if I have not visited some your blogs for a while, I am sure you will understand why.
The farmers here are very busy with the harvest at the moment and temperatures are expected to soar to 39C (102.2F) today!! No rain in sight!
Courgette and ginger jam
Curried beans and Pickled beans (recipe for this to follow at some stage!)
I will be back soon when I feel a little better.
Life Before the Charente will be taking a short break as well
The garden is drooping, but despite the droops, with a little watering it is still producing masses of beans, courgettes and tomatoes. What energy I have at the moment has been going into bottling.
