No vacuuming or lifting heavy pots for 4 - 6 weeks the doctor said. That I can live with. Two weeks after surgery and the most I can manage is to stir the porridge. I am so looking forward to getting back in the kitchen and actually cooking a meal. And taking a photograph.
I really appreciate the messages everyone has sent. And I have been lucky to receive some lovely foodie items in the mail from my NZ blogger friends.
From Arfi some wonderful homemade fruit pastes made with fruit from her own orchard.
Paul has kindly sent me some real marmalade made in New Zealand - Anathoth Breakfast Marmalade and Barkers Mandarin and Ginger .
And from Bron some chocolates and an Audrey Hepburn DVD.
Thanks Arfi, Paul and Bron. And thank you to everyone that has sent lovely supportive emails and messages.
