Spooky as just eating Christmas pudding and no thruppenny was found in it

Look at it this way: it's an hour later here.

And here. Afternoon coffee and a piece of not Christmas cake

I forgot to take my morning tablets yesterday and have just been told off by Mrs SD.

Those the memory pills then, are they?

It's the connection with Christmas pudding. If you were posher it would have been a sixpenny piece.

 

[Oldhippy]

Possibly, but as someone who lives alone and ignores Christmas at all costs, no TV and no news I haven't been as exposed as many this time of year.

A mild, blustery and soggy day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept really well - best night in a week or so, and actually feel somewhat refreshed as a result. Did some food related chores this morning. That two bird roasting joint I bought on YS the other day is now doing its thing in the crock pot with a sploosh of chicken stock while sat on a bed of onions. Far less faff than cooking it in the oven, and as it's not terribly big, it won't dry out on me.

Popped out to post a friend's birthday pressie - he asked for something practical, so got him the workshop manual for his Trials car.

While I was out, popped into the Co-op to see if there was anything interesting on clearance / yellow sticker, but nope, nothing doing.

Had a bitsas luncheon of breaded prawns, sausage rolls, filet americain on toast, an apple, an orange and two

Cleaned the litter trays as I should have done them yesterday but didn't. Also cleaned out the grate, dumped the ashes in the outside bucket and re-filled the coal scuttle.

Now just relaxing by the fire. And it's almost and Min Spy time.

I don't have a chocolate orange.

Nor do I, but then I only like the mint ones.

Black bin needs to go kerbside

 

[mybike]

I've just cleaned under the "Strg" key which was sticking. There was quite a lot of toast crumbs under there, probably because I often look at CC while eating breakfast.

It's fortunate I wasn't eating cereal...

You need to control yourself when using the computer.

Just brought our silver one in.

Not bothering with bins this week. Not enough in any of them to make it worth putting them out.
