when you get them digested you may not need to pedal - you will be fair blasting along

Morrisons suddenly came up with 10% off everything (if you have a More card). Current bag of oranges is going to run out on Christmas day so figured I best get another bag, along with other stuff worth getting with the discount Good timing as it was the last bag they had, which turned out to be 90p. Was a slightly perturbed leaving of the house as my router was flashing colours it should not but had recovered by the time I got back.

All of you who are already fully prepared for the festivities, well, you're starting to intimidate me. But anyway, enjoy yourselves and I might manage to catch you all up some time.

My holiday may get interrupted on 2nd January.

The Patient has got a provisional Hospital appointment for that day.

A 15 minute post tea snooze was had earlier, the evening's hot chocolate has been had and now I think it's time for a couple of hours of beer & a film.

Bit late reporting but woke up at around 01.30 last night /this morning...couldn't sleep, mind started racing, At around 02.30, I suddenly thought... bugger, I didn't set the elves up for the grandkids. So down I go, stare at 19 elves, wondering what the heck to do with them.
They ended up in the kitchen, some sandwiched in a waffle maker while others looked on, some in a bag of flour, others in various cooking situations. Got back to sleep maybe 03.30.
Girls laughed when they saw it all this morning.
Last night tonight for the elves ..yayyyyy

Also a bit late here today. A grey and chilly day here chez Casa Reynard, though not as unpleasant as yesterday.

Did not sleep well. Out early doors to meet up with a friend for our weekly dog walk, and for me to hand over her share of the yellow sticker groceries. I haven't done her bill yet, but I'll estimate she had about £100 of stuff for just over £20. She was well chuffed with what I got her, so yay me!!! Stopped off at the book exchange and picked up a Tom Clancy novel and a Paddington Bear book.

Thence to Littleport to the Co-op to look for cranberries and a Cake Day card. Turned up a blank on both accounts. Decided not to go into town as I'd simply waste too much time. Right decision, because after a luncheon of cranberry-topped pork pie, toast, black forest ham, some fruit and a I've been crazy busy. And I've still some stuff to do before I go to bed.

Stocked up wood, them put what I bought yesterday and Saturday into the freezer. This involved taking things out of the packaging (takes up too much space in freezer), portioning stuff up, labelling the packets and then off to play Tetris LOL! I managed to get everything in there, and mirabile, I actually still have one empty drawer!

After that, I made smoked salmon mousse, got a bread dough on the go (I've just knocked it back and shaped it), prepped the fruit for my festive crumble for tomorrow evening and have chopped up some stuff for my stuffing. I shall make that momentarily.

Soup, then tempura prawns for supper.

I'm knackered.

I'm up. Dog's out in the garden tiddling. Tea's brewing.

 

[tyred]

It seems I have stuffed up sinuses and a headache for Christmas.

 

[biggs682]

Time to get the kettle going

 

[PeteXXX]

Quick heads up, folks... Our Black Bin Day that should have been tomorrow has been rescheduled to Saturday.

 

[Illaveago]

Morning.
It's grey here.
I will see if a borrowed OBD2 reader sheds some light on what is wrong with my wife's car.
