Christmas Pud for pud this lunchtime 🎅

That's a good idea

That reminds me, I bought an Aldi Stollen which I've still got stashed in the bread bin. I wonder what the gobble by date is.

Best Christmas type cake/bread was a long traveled Panettoni, it traveled from Italy to my eldest's previous employer in the Isle of Man, was then sent to New York to a relative, it was then given to my daughter who was visiting the family in New york, who then took it back to Grand Caymen where she was living/working, who then passed it onto my ex wife who was visiting grand Caymen, who then bought it home to the Isle of Man and handed it over to me! bit of a round trip but it was lovely

Right postie back from Goosnargh,sort of three day visit.our turn to do the cleaning no diy this time.So all went well at St Jims i did not get a rollocking,she just rolled her eyes.Nothing to worry about dry eye just needs drops 4 times a day and one other drop morning and night.Might be some time before it clears up or it might never clear up,but eye sight is in no danger.

It appears to have stopped raining first time in about 48 hours, we had water coming into the back door of the lodge, called the owner & they've had to sandbag the door, there's a grate to the soakaway that must be so full it can't cope. Seen loads of flooded roads as we've driven around IOW

I'm on a 21 bus and it's still raining in the Smoke.

Spent the morning running errands in town. Some had to be postponed as I didn't fancy waiting in long queues at the till. The perils of going in on market day, I suppose...

Dropped into Tesco for a few extra bits, and somehow managed to emerge with a whole unwrapped Dolcelatte for £3 on yellow sticker...

Have finished one half of my stock car diptych. Will start the other half tomorrow.

Catford to Newington Green iirc?

One for yellow stickering fans - a bag of seven brown seeded rolls from Morrison's pick & mix section, usually £1 for five but reduced to 7p for the lot. Perfectly fresh and very nice with a bowl of soup after work and will do for lunch before work tomorrow as well.

Good spot. Shame you're not closer, I got YS cheese and ham today that would go nicely with those...

 

[Reynard]

I don't have them all . I believe there are pockets of them stashed away among the members around the world .

It would be silly to have them all in one place in case of a disaster happening .

I have two small ones stashed away in my garage... Just in case, like...

Annoyingly, my outside light at the back of the house keeps coming on. I look out and there's nothing there - I think it must be the bird feeders blowing in the wind that's setting it off. I think I'll stick some tape over the sensor until the wind calms down.

It definitely said Newington Green on the front though I was only on it to the end of the Old Kent Road.

Sensor taped. Garden in darkness. Burglars are safe now.

Whew! My memory is definitely not faulty.

Chippy tea time. Mother and daughter in PJs in front of me. Classy.
