A question for @Reynard- Where do you get good stationery from? Or anyone else who can make a suggestion.

There used to be a small "office" shop here, but the lady (who did typing and printing services as well) now works from home.

I am looking for some good quality clear plastic "folders". The type that you slide four or five A4 pages into. I say "good quality" because some of the ones I use, the white plastic down the side (where the holes are for hole punch folders) is disintegrating and making a mess.

This is a nuisance because I use that type of clear plastic folder to keep my knitting patterns that I have down loaded. They are also useful for sewing patterns where the pieces are fiddly to fold up and get them back into the original envelope.

I would rather not have tiddly bits of disintegrating plastic in my patterns, amongst the yarn, on the floor, and on my clothes etc etc.
 
Have spent the afternoon working on a painting. It's about time I finished that McLaren MP4/1 :blush:

I now have a :cuppa: and one of my yellow sticker Mr Kipling winter whirl things.

If you're talking about punch pockets, then I use the ones from Tesco. They're not the sturdiest, admittedly, but then I'm not really taking things in and out of them that often. They get used for mounted photos and single pages of copy that I can read without taking out of the pocket.

For things like programmes, magazines and other more bulky items, I use the Tiger ones, which are somewhat sturdier. I buy A5, A4 and expandable A4 ones from Amazon.

Which reminds, I need to restock at some point...
 
Had thinly sliced cold roast pork, roasties and the last of the caulisprout cheese for supper. Well, and a helping of chocolate trifle.

The trifle was nice, but the chocolate sauce in the bottom is somewhat on the sweet side.

I ate the last of the salmon Wellington tonight. It was part of the Christmas overflow. Normal fayre is close to returning. My stomach may rejoice. But I'm having a brandy because the Christmas spirits have not entirely receded.
Is this some new piece of evolution, welly wearing salmon? Never seen one, so I'll take your word on it.
What did the welly taste like by the way?

You slowly depleting the christmas spirit?
