A seven year itch kind of cold?

Barring a few slices of roast pork, there are no more leftovers.

the sun has set
the wind is picking up
morning temperatures will be unkind

Yes please, just a few. I am sure there will be some in the shops next Wednesday, or the Baker's on Thursday.

Just made a batch of cranberry sauce with apple, orange, ginger and a sploosh of cider. Waiting for it to cool so I can decant into a tupperware. Have also put aside a jar for a friend.

Now bum parking to watch the news.

Ah, I see you went for a Milanese. I've got one coming in the post to replace a speidel which is a) too big and b) pinches my arm hairs.

Did the parental visit circuit this afternoon. Started at my dad's where my sister & niece were already in attendance and was offered the usual cheese straws ond mince pies which I declined as I'm not too keen on either. As we were leaving to head to my mum's we were asked if we wanted some of the cheese straws or mince pies to take away, or perhaps some sausage rolls - why wait until I was on my way out to mention the sausage rolls? Is it something to do with the possibility of being able to eat my own weight in good ones?

Good timing

I'm the wrong side of a 15'3" bridge with a 16' trailer.. Guess where I am 🤔🙄

Near one of Britain's most bashed bridges?

(Watling Street?)

Nope, but I'm often up & down that road. Not today, though 👍

In the 80's I remember the informal winter drinking clubs in the Moscow Metro stations. When it got to -20 regularly. The police would go around waking up anyone who was sleeping.

Amongst the tosh at the briefing we were warned not to buy liquids in unlabelled bottles from anyone.
