I've done something tonight I haven't done for ages, driven in the dark, I think the last time was this time last year. Pre Xmas supermarket run now done, quarter past seven in the evening and and it was heaving, a normal Friday shop with a bit extra as our lads down for Xmas, we can now withstand a six month siege.

Good morning folks, picking our lad up from the station this morning.

Morning. Another cool and drizzly day here and another can’t be arsed day I fear. I don’t really enjoy this time of year much.

I forgot to watch Madame Blanc last night so will catch up tonight before All Creatures Great and Small. Good evening’s telly

Good morning all.
I've had a broken nights sleep. Both myself and MrsP were awake at 03.45.
Went back to sleep, only to be woken up again at 05.30 when the next door neighbour went to work on his motorcycle.
It's quite mild outside, but raining heavily.
The Christmas meeting of the escape committee is at 1pm, at the Ding Dong.
Our friend from Fiji via Australia is back for a month or so, so it will be good to see him again.
I have a few cards to write, and a couple of presents to wrap before going to the pub, plus dog walking and domestics.
Another busy day in paradise

It's great, I love it. Comfort food at its best. Do you make it @Dirk though I imagine it could be a common item in your neck of the woods?

Morning all

Yay! Tis Fish Friday
Off to Lynmouth to meet up with best mates from Minehead.
Might be a bit damp for F&C on the sea front, so we have a plan B.

Very common pie around here. We picked a couple up from the pieman in South Molton pannier market. Very nice too.

Good day. The weather? Still dark here. Goodness knows.

@Tenkaykev asked what we're doing the next few days? That's a mistake but I'll resist the temptation to share my to do list. Basically it goes like this:

Friday morning - supermarket dash, collect bike helmet, B&Q, collect coal, deliver best friend's present

Friday afternoon - housework, fit new kitchen lights - I know, I know, madness 🤣 🤞

Saturday - prepare red cabbage

Sunday - it's Christmas 🎄

I need to lie down after hearing that.

My to do list is Friday give the car a run to Mach for odds and sods.

Saturday = slobbing.
Sunday = slobbing.
Monday = slobbing.
There is a pattern forming here.

I need to lie down before starting that!

Went to bed full of good intentions. Tesco for 7.00am, Aldi for 8.00............

........I've got a nice cup of coffee and cosy dressing gown 🤣
