I know I'm probably a bit late, but should I start boiling the sprouts ready for Christmas dinner? 🤔

Cut up some onion and pepper, drizzle some Italian dressing over the onion, pepper and sprouts, make an envelope out of some aluminum foil, puncture a small hole or two in it, and place it on the grill for 30 minutes.

It didn't it go down well?

It resulted in a discussion with the manager and the boss, which wasn't confrontational to be fair, more asking why I wasn't impressed when everyone else was.

Some people also didn't understand the difference between introversion and shyness.

oh good. a neighbor in our condo complex had their car stolen 2 nites ago. last month someone had their catalytic converter stolen. there must be a sign that says "easy pickins"

May need better lighting in the car park, and extra police presence. These things seem to happen everywhere, even where there is armed security. Frequent patrolling will help, but that may be a thing for neighborhood watch groups, police are, for the most part, quite poor at anything requiring them not to be in a vehicle.

Fair enough. I gave honest answers that the person "running the course" didn't like.
The only person on the course to do so.

Most training is a excuse for management to show they are working!

Can you elaborate between introversion / shyness??

I spent a while inside our freezer depot this afternoon . It felt properly balmy when I went back outside 🏖

Another thing I discovered today Morow an Internet prog rock radio station, no dj, no ads just music. Nice to hear there are new prog rock bands still comping up.

I'll give that a listen, ta 🎶

According to the local news on Farcebook, it will be barmy weather here next week.

Should I add that to my internal baffles?

Wife joined me on today’s outing. She’s really come on with cycling, a year ago she’d never have been out in this. Covered 62km with a cafe stop.

Slightly less cold here chez Casa Reynard today - occasionally sunny and definitely above freezing as a lot of the frost has gone. But now the sun's set, it's like an ice rink outside. Hauling some wood at half time in the footy was... interesting...

Didn't sleep terribly well, and then overslept to boot. Spent the morning doing the chores that I expressly forbade mum to do, as it involved going outside. I simply can't risk her slipping on ice.

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with chicken liver pate, one with brie & chutney, plus an apple, two tangerines and two

Now watching Croatia v Morocco.

The mystery of the path clearing stuff left on my doorstep continues.
My nearest neighbour appeared at my door this morning with a large bag of salt he had collected from the police station where you can help yourself to any you require. He told me he was going to do my path and the path of another neighbour who did not go to work today as unable to get down their slightly sloping path. He had no knowledge of the mystery donation.
There was also an offer to get any shopping I needed but I am well stocked until the thaw comes.
Some shops have closed due to slippery pavements and the ambulance sent out an emergency call as unable to get out due to ice. People emerged and managed to push it to a better position in case it was needed.
I suspect my neighbours keep a surreptitious eye on me.

Just sat down with a hot roast sandwich i've been doing a load of house jobs. Small food shop and managed to finish wrapping Mrs 73 presents. Still feels like I've not really done anything Or and sorting out my mate who having checked him over has a chest infection.
So quick call to Mrs 73 to talk things though once she get back will prescribe him some antibiotics.

I made a crumble.
Tomorrow I will launder every single thermal base-layer in the house. They are almost ready to walk themselves to the washing machine.

Tomorrow I will launder every single thermal base-layer in the house. They are almost ready to walk themselves to the washing machine.

I will do that on Monday. Machine is in an unheated utility room behind the garage - no idea if the outlet pipe is frozen, so better wait until it most definitely isn't.
