Christmas shopping done this morning.
Outside lights not put up as I need some hooks.
It’s bitingly cold outside. I went in the garage and had to go back into the house after only 5 minutes as I couldn’t feel my fingers!

I guess you'd better go get some! (presents? & cats?) heheMy niece is popping round to collect presents from us and nana for her two girls. Not seen them in 2 years. The girls are coming to see our cats.

I was taken to the front of the queue because I was on crutches. I would have been happy to have stood in line but the nurse insisted. Made me feel like an invalid
During the first lockdown I'd get called to the front of the queue waiting to get into the supermarket because I'm a pensioner, that never felt right either.

Lovely luncheon of grilled Polish sausage in a sandwich with mustard, plus a clementine, a persimmon and two 
I really recommend these sausages (Kielbasa Slaska - the Maciej Wrobel brand), they're truly delectable.
They're £2.50 for the pack of five. I bought them on a whim but goodness, I'd deffo have these again.

They were being considerate, because of your crutches. If you were on a bus, I would hope that someone would offer you their seat. That is being considerate and kind, rather than seeing you as an invalid.
Someone queue jumped ahead of me while waiting for my booster and flu jab. It was an easy mistake to make. I was slow to move onto the next large red dot, and they did not see that was in the queue. It was an elderly lady in a wheelchair with her daughter pushing the wheelchair. The person "organising" the queue was going to correct them, but I said, no, don't even mention it.

Time to get Max out of the garage and pedal off to deliver the last three Christmas cards.

Not entirely sure if the same brand? but I bought some from my local Polish shop this summer to chuck on the BBQ ... easily the best hot dog I have tasted. I need to get down there again as plan to do them with onion gravy and nice buttery mashed potato.

Just back from delivering the last cards. Haven't taken the MTB out in a while, forgotten how much fun it is to ride. 40psi in the tyres seems to be the sweet spot for riding on a mix of tarmac and gravel.

Hah, well, my Grandfather's countrymen definitely know how to make fantastic sausages.
Silesian sausages are easily the best for grilling / bbq, but there are some other tasty ones to be had. I like the semi-dry Krakowska, thinly sliced with bread & butter.
The cooked smoked bacon (boczek) is fabby as well. It's fattier than streaky, but diced up, makes the most amazing lardons. It's very good cut into slices and grilled until the edges are crispy...

No hot water! CH OK but I am now frantically searching round for a local gas engineer to come and look at the combi boiler before Christmas, when we have the family descending for a few days.
I have a British Gas service contract, but even with that the first appointment is Dec 29th
Update: Got an engineer from less than a mile away to look at it this p.m. He has ordered a part that he thinks will fix it and if it arrives in time will fit it Thursday

I have a
GP surgery just phoned me saying they've got Covid vaccines in and would I like a booster tomorrow.
I declined, preferring to stick to my original booking for next Wednesday, even if it does involve a trip to Downham Market. I do feel kind of bad at turning them down though, but there's a reason I booked a slot for when I did.
Didn't have the best of times after my first two jabs, and I wanted to feel miserable when I know it's not going to impact on anything. Also, it gives me the chance to shift this blasted head cold first, as I don't need two miseries layered one on top of the another.
I also got my booster reminder in the post this morning. It's all go, here!
