As my stroke survivor friends know, I like cooking and feel quite proud sometimes of what I can achieve. I have just been preparing a Victoria sponge, mostly with my good hand. Everything went well and mixture was whisked to perfection....or should I say within an inch of its life.
The tins were fulled, but then I decided to utilise my weak arm and hand to steady the mixing bowl while I scraped the rest of the mixture out. Unfortunately, my weak arm and hand are prone to occasional small spasms. So, a sudden spasm and I knock one tin of mixture off the work top. It sails to the kitchen floor and......lands the right way up! Not only that, the shock of landing spreads the mixture gently round the tin.
who says life after stroke can't be fun.....
