It's been a bright and sunny albeit rather chilly day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well after what ended up being a ridiculously late night. My brain wouldn't switch off after another session on those engineering drawings, so it was far easier to let my train of thought play out than trying to get to sleep. The net result there is that I have identified another parts sequence and pinned it to a specific job.

I had a quiet morning. The main tasks were topping up the wood bins in the house as I haven't done that since Tuesday, and then going to have a furkle in the freezer. Now that I've taken out a load of small items, I can get to the bigger things further in. There's a shoulder of lamb in there that I'd completely forgotten I had. That stayed in the freezer, but I've taken out a quarter of a free range bronze turkey. It's a leg joint, so will have to bone it out when it thaws. Will make some stuffing to roll up in that, and it will make a nice roast. And the leftovers will make lovely lunchtime sandwiches.

This afternoon was spent lumberjilling, and I now have another heaped trailer full of firewood. Glad I've done that, as the forecast for the coming week keeps changing. OK, it's going to be chilly, but the weather models can't work out whether it's going to be wet or dry.

Now sat by the fire with a :cuppa: and listening to the football.
I wasn't aware girls liked football let alone listening to it until that lot on the telly recently.😬

Have you tried the red bull RAMPAGE on telly?

It's part of the naturalisation process. Mind you it's better no-one has to share my apartment tonight.

However, remember the UK recently gave the world this...
There's "Elton John Marmite" over here.

That reminds me, the butcher never phoned us back to take the deposit for our turkey. So not sure we have an order or not all I can say for sure is collection is the 23rd.Will have to chase it up in a few days , just hope the woman who sorts orders is in work. The last time Mrs 73 tried it was her day off and no-one else looks to be able to do it.
Maybe they took some inspiration from Chicken Run!

Fingers crossed!

I have various options in the freezer for a suitable Christmas dinner - we're not a "must have turkey" household, and in any case, it's just the three of us i.e. two humans and one cat. If I pick up something suitable on YS between now and the hols, great, and if not, I've got a lovely pork shoulder joint to slow roast, or I've discovered half a duck. Either of those would go well with apples / apple sauce. :hungry:

Beautiful if cold day out on bike, that’s my third 100km ride this month. Definitely the best weather of the three.

Whoops! ;) I grew up a stone's throw from Highbury / the Emirates Stadium, so always been aware of footy. Dad and his brother were big on it, although they supported the wrong half of North London. :whistle: I also went to school with Trevor Brooking's daughter Colette. She was in my year, but not in my form. I've also played a bit of footy as a left-sided defender, but was far better at whacking people with swords LOL!

Love nothing better than listening to sports commentaries on the radio, whether at home or whether I'm driving. :smile:

No, mainly cos outside the basic channels, TV reception here is a bit rubbish. :blush:
