A mostly grey, mild and still day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept OK-ish despite the rather late night last night. Chores early doors. An early lunch, and then off to Tesco. The place was ridiculously un-busy for Xmas Eve. Super easy to park, hardly anyone in-store. Felt really weird compared to the usual bun-fight.
Good job I turned up early (3pm). No sniff of a regular at all. Just as well, as they started marking down the turkeys before half three, so I had first dibs. Most of the markdowns were only 40%. But whether it was a technical hiccup or a mistake, there was a small bunch of turkeys that went down by 60%.
Which I why two of them kind of fell into my trolley.
Most reductions were done and dusted by about 4:15, which is why some of the regulars rather missed out because they turned up much too late. Not that I'm complaining. Especially Mrs Bowls Club, her sister and a friend, who all walked in with big trolleys and left with just a few loaves of bread, some lettuces and the over-priced pastries from the bakery.
Had a semi-traditional Polish "Wigilia" evening meal here, with beetroot soup, herrings and salad, then smoked salmon mouse with wholegrain rolls and a festive apple crumble with custard to finish.
Now just chilling with a
, and will watch midnight mass on TV rather than heading back out.

You can stay up and peel them. Peeling them in bed could be messy.

Thirty years ago, I was carted out of Midnight Mass, by the local undertaker and some of his workforce. Placed in the back of his vehicle, before being taken to Limerick A&E, via a local doctors.
All of them seemed a bit put out by the undertakers vehicle pulling up outside.

Fire banked for the night, and I'm heading off to bed.
