Mild, drizzly and a bit blowy here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept in a bit, and puttered about a bit doing not a lot. Lunch shortly. Then I will have a crack at Tesco's reductions.

Lexi keeps mithering me for turkey.

Your post made me think of that song “Mud. Mud. Glorious mud, Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood” Etc. Etc.

That is a seriously muddy pig sty. Those pigs must be in seventh heaven!

It's not as though hospitals have anything else to do at the moment.

I've heard that the stats say occupancy down.

No bike, today, just a 2 mile walk to stretch my legs a bit. Quite nippy out!

How tall are you now.

They love it. There are baby piglets but they were still asleep when we passed.

I dont believe it.I ate everything placed in front of me yesterday.Cake,turkey,chocolate by the ton.Two pints of Riggwelter and went to bed on a whisky.NO indigestion.Yet normally a sarnie,packet of crisps and a yoghurt gives me burning indigestion,I dont understand it.

Well, turkey tastes surprisingly good in a salad with a lemon and garlic dressing. The dressing really moistens the turkey and gives it a nuttiness. Mind, I did put pecans in as well, so there was always going to be a touch of nuttiness.

@Reynard is going to be in shock: Arsenal are 3 up against Chelsea.

I've never seen Tesco so bare on Boxing Day...

Not a wasted trip though, as I cleared the shopping list, and I am now in possession of a large mint Aero, two boxes of Earl Grey teabsgs, two trays of "finest" sausages, two trays of "finest" pigs in blankets and one "finest" cranberry-topped pork pie.

They had some turkeys left, but there wasn't enough off them to make them worthwhile taking.

The wind has finally died down a bit now.

There will be trampolines galore stuck in hedgerows in the morning.
