Mundane News

Lovely supper of cullen skink, followed by bread, butter, crab pate and dipping into one of the fancy cheese selections I bought on clearance, and for afters, the last of the rice pudding and blackberry compote.

I am feeling extremely exhausted. Jabs and tablets tomorrow at the Oncology Unit.
Then I am going to give myself six days of holidays I think.

The decorations are all in boxes, but I have not got enough packing tape to seal the boxes, that will be purchased on Thursday. Kizzy likes boxes, but I am sure I will notice if I accidentally seal her into a box. The nee ooopp peep pip sounds will be a clue.

I have just shoved Christmas up onto the loft.

Madam Boo is still in two minds about boxes.

My printer has deigned to print.

Not in the right colours, but, you know, one step at a time...

You're using black paper then?

 

[classic33]

you didn't stop to pick it up?

He'd be done if he did stop, for anything but an emergency.

The snow is nearly all gone now, although still some compacted snow in sheltered spot.

I've been out for a walk and got wet. Again. I should have taken my umbrella.

Another day of nonsense at work. Where can I buy a Voodoo doll of my boss!

Make your own.
For either you are going to need something personal to them. Hair is a common item used on the doll.

Have you got an apple that you can bury at night, without being seen?

Did the last of the Christmas clear-up, namely changing the table cloth in the dining room from festive poinsettia to mundane yellow & white check.

@tyred, howabout this one!

 

[Jenkins]

Still icy in patches on the roads and pavements when I went out for this afternoon's walk, while the ground on the footpaths was frozen solid. Hoping it will ease up a bit soon as, if you ignore New Year's Day, I've biked only 19 miles while having walked 25 miles this year. Other than listening to the radio and reading I've done very little since I got home.

Time for the evening's hot chocolate.

 

[Jenkins]

The hot chocolate has been made and I've also made the error of opening a Terry's Chocolate Orange.

There's rain on the kitchen window and the path is looking damp which could be a problem if it freezes again in the early hours.

Is Kenny a hamster or a gerbil

The late evening news is depressing.

 

[Speicher]

The late evening news is depressing.

I switched channels after about twenty seconds.

 

[Reynard]

I switched channels after about twenty seconds.

Yeah. And those who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them.

Yeah. And those who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them.

My foggy brain has a lot to cope with at present. I think it has absorbed a lot of tragic news recently.
