Busy day today. Cooked up a storm in the kitchen this morning as I won't have the time tomorrow. Made celeriac soup, braised red cabbage (with red wine, orange, dried cranberries and spices) and fruit baked in red wine. 
Then dropped off last night's yellow sticker bits that I picked up for my neighbour; a pork loin joint, a pork fillet, parsnips and four pints of milk. Helped him to divide up the meat - cut the loin joint into four nice thick steaks and the fillet into four medallions.
After lunch, had some dear friends around for a brew (and to help me eat yesterday's haul of cakes). We set the world to rights, we did. And your handiwork was very much admired @hopless500
After that, it was straight to Tesco to go Yellow Stickering with mum. Good pickings to be had tonight; two beef roasting joints, a "finest" glazed ham joint, fish pie mix, sausage rolls, chorizo pastries, salmon and watercress tarts, chicken massaman canapes, cooked chicken thighs, broccoli, sweetheart cabbage, a tray of mediterranean roasting vegetables, strawberries and nectarines. Will share this with my neighbour and a lovely friend who lives in the village.
Got my revenge on Big Hair and Tall Guy for yesterday (I got elbowed in the head over a pack of salmon) by snagging the "Finest" glazed ham joint that they had their eye on. Was rather satisfying to see them arguing, blaming each other for missing out on the ham. Revenge, as they say, is sweet.

The ladies are watching a romcom. I've been trying to block it out with music on youTube via my headphones. I started with Hotel California, and I'm working my way through the Eighties. I've done the Pet Shop Boys and Flock of Seagulls, but the relentless sugary shite keeps intruding during quiet passages. I'm thinking that Scandinavian Heavy Death Rock could be my salvation.

I buy bags of those from Waitrose. They're extremely yummyI buy mine in Londinium when they're on clearance after Ramadan. £1.25 for a kilo box of Deglet Nour dates.
Usually buy four or five boxes (a year's supply) as they're nice to snack on and cook with.

Agreed.
The 99p bags of stoned dates (no weed in sight LOL) from Lidl aren't half bad either.

Can of sardines in lemon with foccacia crackers, and a ham with neufchatel cheese on bagel sandwich. While watching Trailer Park Boys on Netflix.

My neighbour is mowing the lawn on Christmas Eve, anyone else doing mundane jobs today?
I am going to go to the dump to clear space for all the rubbish we will make tomorrow.

Is it the right time to do this? I have been wondering as I have one in a pot that's going a bit mental.
