The weather seems to cause me problems no matter what we get.
Low sun too dangerous, freezing cold I have been out in but not appealing, rain definitely not going out in that, gales too much struggle to be a pleasure and so it goes on.

Problems with people sending cards to unknown people and pleas for help. Does anybody know this person?
Brings out the comment about how things have changed and in the past we knew or knew of everybody in the town. Now with so many settlers nobody knows even their next door neighbour.
A new housing development nearby of at least 20 houses and I only know who 2 of them are.

I remember when I worked as a postman in Helensburgh many years ago we used to get letters and cards with a name and a rough map on the front. They were all delivered correctly.

I decided to have my effervescent Vit C tablet with hot water instead of cold, today.
It was quite nasty, to be honest, and I won't do it again..

I take one daily with turmeric. There's a couple of trials ongoing, one at Kings, about the efficacy of vitamin C in boosting haemoglobin production, and the other that is looking at Circumin ( found in Turmeric )

When my wife was alive she was a MIL and found things to criticise but had a policy of keeping her thoughts to herself and mouth firmly closed. She got on very well with our DIL.
She did not keep them entirely to herself as I was told about them.

That was my mums approach or taking view something being none of her business. The in-laws are very controlling , success being money , own home and qualifications. basically snobs. My mum use to always say I don’t think we are good enough for them. I now just tell them how it is.

Another brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright and chhhhhhhhhhhilly day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, spent the morning sorting out shopping, and once that was done, sorting out assorted contents of Xmas pressies. I also had to find suitable packaging. That's all now stashed in the dining room ready to be wrapped. Also made a bit pot of soup.

Have just enjoyed watching a good game of football.

I've also just burnt my finger while putting a fresh log on the fire.

Had a lovely luncheon of bakery bread and butter, crab meat and mayonnaise, and then some cheese and fruit and two

Ah, cool.

I make Lebkuchen i.e. the German version. Got some lovely 1930s Bavarian recipes. As for shapes, usually traditional hearts & stars, or just roll into a sausage and slice on the diagonal. Otherwise, I might make Lebkuchen cats.

You peeps talking about protecting your plants outside from the frost made me think of my wife's new trees in pots . It might be a bit late but I thought I would put them in the greenhouse overnight .
Guess what I came across on the way to the greenhouse ?




A Hedgehog !
It was on our garden path .
I have now picked it up and put it in our downstairs loo in the cat box with some food and water . It is a medium sized Mr or Mrs Prickles.
