We were pleased to see the double yolk this morning, 
In exchange for today’s cake, Oaty Date Slice, I brought back Roots soup for our lunch and it was delicious.
Beetroot and Courgette Soup, fresh from the community garden at Roots
I also brought home lots of basil leaves as the plants were pulled up today and we stripped the leaves for today’s volunteer harvest. I made Pesto, some for Pesto Pasta this evening and six more servings frozen.
Made with cashews and about to be whizzed up.
It’s a special anniversary today – 48 years ago our son’s life was saved by a vbrilliant heart surgeon. D was 13 days old.

Yes, that seemed like a sign, a recognition of our twin story. 🙂

Thank you. He had two more operations, one at 6 months and the third at 18 months. 🙂

Love the pesto. And how scary that operation must have been for you. 13 days old – so tiny.

It was. He weighed only 5lbs (the bigger of the twins; his sister was 4lbs 8 oz) and the surgeon described the aorta as being like the inner tube of a biro.
