Just been out to check the car Mrs 73 had someone hit her from behind at a roundabout on way home.
She a bit shaky but ok , her wrist aches a bit but no injury. She's told me the guy was very shocked, shaking and apologised gave his details straight away without issue.
From 1st sight it's ok bumper back in place other than the bottom bit near wheel arch. it's only pushed out a bit the lugs look to have snapped off its got a self tapper in the wheel arch that once put back should fix it. Will know tomorrow in the day light.

Alas yes. I always made mince pies back in the day (including making mincemeat from scratch) to feed all sorts of friends, neighbours, the male parental unit, but it's just the two of us now and so it's much less of a faff to buy them in.

I *do* buy the really good ones though - the Tesco's "Finest" won a blind taste test on "Eat Well For Less" which will do it for me. They are nice because they are not too sweet.

See what you mean and don't blame you. Finest will always be better more fruit less syrup and mostly butter in the pastry.
Only two of us too I've just grown up with home made so it's kind of part of Christmas for me something me and my mum did together.
Still use my grandmothers bowl and tins too so extra special she died when I was a baby.
Always make plenty of extra my mate has inbuilt radar and always seams to call just as they come out the oven.

Another clear morning but no colourful sunrise. Going to be sunny with a NE wind again but I need to get out on trike and hope the sun is not too low by mid morning.

Western Isles complaining about people camping in cemeteries and a photo of a bike beside a tent among the gravestones.
Also motorhomes completely blocking access and also blocking car parks during funerals and refusing to move.
Some motorhome owners say they will do as they like and besides the car park is near a beach.
They have no respect.😠

The last time I saw that being done, the funeral director/undertaker made a couple of calls to summon a telehandler which lifted the offending vehicle hoisted in the air. An angry driver, and family were made wait for the funeral to finish. It was the funeral for a local member of the Gardia, so little help forthcoming from them. Despite their presence at the funeral.

Also the 1st place to check if the dogs missing when we get home. He has a habit of shutting himself in.

Why's your dog locking itself in the bathroom with your mobile phone?

Cauliflower soup, then pulled ham hock in parsley sauce, mash, carrots, sprouts and cauliflower for supper.

That's probably been the match I've enjoyed the least. Hard to tell how good Brazil really are, because they had a middling group stage and tonight, South Korea didn't turn up. Trouble is, because it's Brazil, everyone's talking them up as if they're some kind of gods, but the reality is, they lost to Cameroon and they've not really been tested yet.

I've grown up with home made too... All the things like yeasted babki, poppy seed cake, lebkuchen, speculoos, lucken etc that are must-haves for Christmas. But if I were to make everything, I'd be the size of a small house, because well, it's there, and it's got to be eaten... And then there's that balance between the time spent doing and the amount worth making.

Speaking of which, it's the feast of St Nicholas tomorrow, so got a nice selection of speculoos in. And mum will have my ears if I don't put my shoe* by the front door with an apple and a carrot for the Good Saint's horse. It's just one of those little traditions...

* most likely a Shimano MT34 mtb shoe
