So today ws an exercise in misery. Crippled with pain all day. Foal had good time but i cant hold phone for long. Pain level ridiculous joints tender to touch.
I managed to distract self by tidying mums fridge and kitchen, cooking derby scones and garibaldis and also maple cooked gammon with parsley sauce.
Garibaldis slight variance...

Sr Flour 100g
Butter 25g
Salt 1 pinch
Sugar 25g
Malt extract 1tsp
Egg
50g currants soaked in hot water 20 mins.
Rub in fat to flour n salt. Add sugar, then egg yolk, malt extract and enough milk to bring into v stiff paste. Work on a slab for 2 mins.
Roll out to 2mm, scatter half thickly with currants. Fold over, then roll diwn to 2mm again. Trim to rectangle then cut into biscuit shapes.
Brush with egg white then dredge with caster sugar.

PS glad we are no longer bickering about mindfulness. My brain was going 'pop' and yes you were right, the NHS Choices stuff WAS woolly crap, but that's not really a decent reflection of how mindfulness works for those in (psychological) pain. Could have done MUCH better!
