I spent much of the morning obtaining and working on papers relating to my executorship of Mum’s will. Elizabeth visited after lunch to collect some material with my signatures.
Afterwards I posted https://derrickjknight.com/2021/10/04/a-knights-tale-45-far-less-traffic/
Thereafter Broadband connection was severely disrupted.
Fortunately I was able to post Jackie’s photograph of the delicious chicken jalfrezi and pilau rice that she produced for our dinner, with which she finished the Sauvignon Blanc and I drank more of the Comté Tolosan Rouge.
Dinner looks very good! (And plentiful.)
It will last quite a while, Liz. Thank you very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Jackie’s food looks so delicious! It’s rather irritating when the internet link goes down, that happened at my place a month ago.
Thanks a lot, John
It looks like à great meal!
It is. Thanks very much, Sylvie
Looks delicious!
Thanks a lot, Laurie
Dinner looks delicious. I hope the administration duties aren’t too onerous or complicated. It’s very complicated here.
Facebook and Instagram have been down for most of the day. I hope your Internet problems aren’t related.
Internet all OK, Merril. Probate is complicated here, but Mum’s affairs, particularly as her house was sold to pay for her care, is quite straightforward. Thanks very much.
Good news. You’re welcome, Derrick.
You did so much tedious paperwork you broke the broadband!
🙂
Well observed, Gwen. Thank you very much
I am glad that the meal got through the disruption. It looks good.
Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal
Busy days. Dinner looks delicious.
Thanks very much, Pat
That is a BIG job you are doing! Bestest wishes! My hubby had that job when his Mum died. It took a full year to get everything FINALLY settled. We were shocked that it took that long. Lots of paperwork, red tape, places, and people involved I guess.
Yikes on the broadband! Hope all is well now.
Jackie’s food looks delicious! She saves the day! 🙂
(((HUGS))) <3 🙂
PS…
Thanks very much, Carolyn. Broadband OK now. As having Power of Attorney for some years, Elizabeth has done a lot already – the rest looks comparatively simple. We’ll see. X
Dinner looks yummy!
Thanks very much, Jill
Take the executive steps one at a time. Don’t rush it. 🙂 Dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s. It does take time for everything to be settled and remember there’s always something that gets messed up in the red tape but usually fixable. Stay calm. 🙂
Thank you very much for these insightful comments, Chrissy. You would know
Wow that food looks so good.
It certainly is, Gary. Thanks very much
It seems there have been digital difficulties aplenty today. I hope yours have been resolved at this point. If not? That dinner looks like a good way to assuage frustrations!
We are OK now, Linda. Thanks very much.
I’ve been staring at that dinner thinking it looks very good! I mike a rice pilaf that looks a little bit like that, but I’ve never made chicken jalfrezi. I’ll have to look that up.
https://derrickjknight.com/2014/02/07/you-do-get-about-dont-you/ This should help, Barbara. Thanks very much
Thanks, Derrick! About to take a look 🙂
🙂 Thanks, Barbara
A scrumptious meal to finish your day Derrick …
Cheers, Ivor
Cheers my friend .. 🍷 a Cabernet Merlot Shiraz with my dinner tonight ..
Good choice
The meal looks delicious.
Thanks very much, Mrs W.
Your welcome
Your dinner looks very delicious, Derrick and Jackie! I hope tomorrow is smooth sailing for you both. The BBC classic shipping forecast theme “Sailing By” is one I like to listen to when I would really like smooth sailing. 🙂
Thank you very much, Lavinia. Jackie remembers that theme tune well.
Paperwork can be complicated. Better enjoy the delicious jalfrezi and pilau rice!
Absolutely, Uma
Both dishes look exceptionally appetizing. My compliments to the Culinary Queen!
Jackie is so pleased to receive such a compliment from you, Dolly. hanks very much.
The pleasure is mine, Derrick and Jackie.
That looks absolutely delicious 😋
Thanks very much, Ribana
Isn’t there a blogging rule that you aren’t allowed to post pictures of you dinner without the recipe? My mouth is watering. 🙂
https://derrickjknight.com/2014/02/07/you-do-get-about-dont-you/
I forgot about that rule. This post will help, Bridget. Thanks a lot.
I remember the paperwork and red tape being a challenge after my father’s death. Just take one step at a time and take good care of you. I’m glad you had a yummy dinner.
Thanks very much, JoAnna.
I can only agree to what others have said before me. Paper work required for untangling even a simple estate is a tedious business – with someone skimming of a share of ‘costs’ along each step. I wish you well with that sad business and am glad you can enjoy the boost of Jackie’s fine meals.
Thank you so much, Anne
Your wife is such a good cook, Derrick. It would be even nicer if you shared the recipe too [wink!]
Here you go: https://derrickjknight.com/2014/02/07/you-do-get-about-dont-you/
Thanks a lot, Robbie
There is so much to do after someone dies, the most simple being those endless photocopies of the will that everyone seems to need.
Quite. Thanks very much, Sue
Ah, and or death certificate!
Yes. Thanks a lot, Sue
That does indeed look delicious
Thanks a lot, Sheree
Jan here … sending my love and wishing you a productive, stress-free day. Mmmm… I can still taste those delicious sausages!! Jackie is such a marvelous cook!
Thank you so much, Jan. I hope you are all well X
Whoa, your broadband was down too? I’m not a facebook person, but I heard they were down for 6 1/2 hours yesterday too.
Yes. That seems to have been coincidental. Thanks a lot, GP
That pilau rice looks incredible!!
Thank you, Lander
A delicious dinner is always a nice finish to the day. Jackie seems very creative in the preparation of her meals.
She is indeed, Eugi. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
The jalfrezi looks delicious. I hope your broadband is behaving properly now 😊
Thanks a lot, Helen. Yes, OK now
😊
