This week is going to be Christmas Prep week hopefully in this household.... though I'm still trying to summon up the enthusiasm for it.

Leave our preparation until Christmas Eve. Pack case, fill car with petrol, drive north to number one son. Prezzies already sorted.

Ivan is sitting next to me purring and alternating between batting at me and licking me to get attention.

I have left my bed and am sort of dressed.

Food is looking more appealing today.

 

[Illaveago]

The sun is now up, the fog has lifted and revealed frost on the cars and on wires which are now glistening in the sun.
I may have a short working span today as I can feel the fairies gathering at the moment.

I now have The Woog purring his head off

 

[Lullabelle]

Thanks, I've had two. Could you top up the sugar please it's getting a bit low.

Sorted

TVC gravy kit is ready to go.

You're not making your own stock?!?

Shame on you!

The stock is just to add to the richness, all those bones and offcuts were free from the butcher, once it is cooked down there will be enough meat to make a cottage pie. Dead chuffed. Meat, bones and veg are now roasting.

The Basque lamb stew for the Christmas eve tapas feast is also under way, lamb neck red wine, tomatoes, thickened with breadcrumbs. It's going to be spectacular.

I have just finished cleaning the lounge and now feel absolutely shattered, will this stupid cold ever go

 

[potsy]

I've just de-gunked the filter on the dryer, I too am now worn out and wishing this horrible cough would bugger off

Back to work tomorrow, that's going to be fun, not.

My workroom is now completely clean and rearranged.

I have moved a heavy bookcase and it's contents to its new location and moved a armchair downstairs ready for Xmas guests.I am now about to pile the car up with all the stuff for the hospice shop. Thank goodness for wing mirrors.
