I assume that, being christmas, you will be allowed a slice of bread n butter...... maybe even 2 eggs ??We have Egg & Chips for Christmas dinner, been doing that for years.*
*and, yes, @classic33 I know they should be done by now.
Just back from town.....sorting the aunties bank stuff out.
Neither of us up to preparing food so MrsD suggested we call at Waterfields for a cheese and onion pastie.
Dreadful.....disgusting yuck.
I made a similar error mistake a few years ago and bought one of their meat n potato pies ........I will never try it again

Went for a short ride yesterday and between not enough sleep, an extra 10 lbs in the front bag of my Brompton, head winds and hills was pretty tired after only 12 miles. Left me discouraged and as you can see, very whiney. So a large pot of pork green chile was made along with my wife making an equally large pot of from-scratch pinto beans. Had a long chat with my stockbroker about pulling money out, during which he told me about a silver lining to the Covid.
He sat in on a Goldman-Sachs call between Pfizer, Johnson&Johnson and a bunch of medical researchers. He was very surprised to witness the degree of cooperation and info sharing on the call. He has some biology training and believes the efforts to find a vaccine has led to some spectacular discoveries on viral genetics that he feels has as much potential impact on medicine as the research of DNA by Watson and Crick or the discovery of penicillin. The setting aside of national and corporate boundaries to effect a cure is what impressed him the most.
Reagan once said something to the effect that humans will not get along until we are invaded by aliens, and perhaps the Corona is the aliens we needed not to be such buttheads. Interesting conversation.
Another ride this morning after it warms a bit from -8C and a trip to the balefill to dump the branches and leaves I loaded in my truck on Sunday.
Another little bit of niceness... my sons and their wives have not ever gotten along well, but the arrival of Logan, our grandson, has accelerated their mutual efforts to become closer, to the point that they are looking forward to Spending Thanksgiving on Thursday together. That is something I am truly thankful for.
It looks like we are finally approaching some kind of resolution of our political idiocy, at least as far as the presidency goes. There's another blessing....so tired of this horse puckey.
Be well and healthy, carpe diem.

Just dropped off my bike with Matt my LBS. A brief exchange of pleasantries with him. Other than MrsF, I expect Matt will be the only person I will speak to all week. Last week the only person I spoke to was the checkout person at the supermarket. By my reckoning I have at least another 5 months of this still to go.

No idea never watched it. Once met the main actor [can't remember his name] but that is as far as it went.
Just remembered Mark MacManus I think.
