I had a glass of white with lunch, a very small port to follow and then a weak rum and coke an hour ago. That's me done for alcohol today, what a lightweight.

Apart from my blow out the other night of 2 cans of Skol shandy, I only have a few bottles of cider to get through.

That will be it for me booze wise.

Then on 7th Jan it's

I've not had anything alchoholic.

I like the ways peas are making a comeback. We've also been having a lot of sweetcorn recently at work, both with hot food and the salad bar.

Back home after a family dinner, drove home in the pouring rain, not nice on the motorway.

Thankfully I only had 5 or 6 pints so was keeping a fairly straight course

Hungry now.

Ahhh, driving by Braille.

My dad is traditional in his taste, peas and carrots are the only veg he will eat.

Torrential rain

Bright sunshine here, -7C, warm day for the week, as the forecast reads. My boss is from Texas. I wonder how he'll bear up.
I'll probably put the roast on soon, all else in a state of semi-readiness.

Torrential rain

We went for a late evening walk...it started raining about 5 mins after so we headed for home...

I heard that birds like peanut butter so I bought a jar for them...
The birds ignored it on the feeder but the local squirrels were fighting over it!!

Bird feeder tip - get a pine cone, coat the outside in peanut butter then roll in bird seed then hang on a tree. Organic, plastic-free bird feeder.

Merry Christmas, have a great day.

You as well.

Merry Christmas again one and all, though I know it's late... Hope you've all had a fabby day.

Slept in, me, until woken up by a feline chorus of "I want my breakfast".

Spent the morning dividing up the two beautiful beef joints I'd bought (one a rib of beef, the other not sure, but it's lovely meat), plus jointing the turkey before playing tetris in the freezer. Mirabile, I still actually have space in there, so will be on the look out for an extra YS joint or two. Never had a bronze turkey before and was surprised at how dark the meat is. Having said that, the girls approved of both the beef and the turkey.

Had a snacky lunch of party canapes (do try the Tesco massaman chicken ones, they're lush), bread, butter, salt beef and horseradish sauce before a quiet afternoon of sitting by the fire, opening the pressies that were under the tree, drinking tea and partaking of mince pies.

Then onwards and upwards to sorting Christmas dinner - we eat in the evenings here. So, cream of celeriac soup followed by cranberry glazed gammon with roasties and braised red cabbage. And after that, we squeezed in some Xmas pud (a very nice one bought on clearance from the co-op a couple of years ago) and custard.

Now sat here catching up on internet-y things with a and some home made marrons glace.

Am almost ready to go to bed.

I may have bought a bit too much beef...

One can never have enough rib of beef...

Only 364 days until Christmas.
