It's been a grey, mild and rainy day here chez Casa Reynard.
Did not sleep well - combination of heffalumps and the dry skin on my hands having become very itchy, cracked and painful. My hands really get mullered in cold weather, and now with all the kitchen time on top of that, not had time to recover. Problem is, I've also got sensitive skin, so creams increase the itch factor. Although once the cream has soaked in, I can live with that. Ah well, hey ho.
Was foggy overnight and into this morning, and so I couldn't do any wood in the garden. Everything was soaking wet, even the wood in the log store along the fence. All I've been able to do is ship the wood into the garage so it doesn't get any wetter, and split the dry wood that was already in the garage.
Am almost on top of the festive kitchen stuff. The only thing that will be falling by the wayside is the pannetone - I will bake one next week when I've a bit more time on my hands, as I have to take the parental erranding again tomorrow. That'll be my morning all used up.
Also been having an aaaargh moment. Need to renew a software licence. Sod's law it's a purchase that needs to send a verifying code to my mobile. Irritatingly, it's my old mobile number that's on my bank card. Been trying to change that to the new one, but the bank's website keeps sending me around in circles. I gave up in the end as I've had enough adulting for today. Might wait till next week and then go to Cambridge so I can speak face-to-face with a human bean.
Anyway, it's food time. Maybe I'll feel better after food.
