Well- I’m feeling rather chuffed with myself this morning…I’ve lost 3 1/2lbs this week on my pre Xmas diet!
I’ll continue for 3 more days then let my festive hair down
Domestics for me today then settle down to writing emails to friends( in lieu of Xmas cards) in front of the wood stove.
OH has decided to smoke some salmon so we need to remember to defrost that this morning.
Quick grory hops are planned for Wednesday and a quick visit to market on Thursday…
Kettles on folks - help yourselves.

Perishing cold out there. And it's still foggy. Starting to get a bit fed up with it now. The weather forecasts say it should be bright today. Pah.
On the cards today, lots of work. So exciting.
Thanks for the smile, Rary. I'm rather missing having them around now they're at the Gardeners Rest. Must say, they seem to be keeping their heads down there. They were forever up to some mischief here. Which reminds me, must phone the vet today. Their playmate-in-chief, Frankie, needs to be snipped... He's the right age for it now and has become even more violent in the last couple of weeks. Mr Snoop says he's maladjusted. I don't know if you can use that term for a cat, but I hope being snipped curbs some of his aggression. Mr Snoop has never been in favour of having our toms done, but in Frankie's case he's all for it.
Have a great day, everyone.
PS: congrats on the diet result, Nicos.
PPS: Anyone seen Snadger about recently? I've been thinking about him these past few days and haven't spotted his posts.
Morning everybody. Grey and drizzly here. I always have a problem getting the right consistency with damson and plum jam too. I once burned some on to the bottom of the jam pan which made it taste awful. I always thought the problem was the skins but not sure why. I use a jam thermometer as an aid when checking for a set and it doesn't seem to work well with damson, plum or my worst ever failure, grape jelly.
Congrats on losing the pounds Nicos.
I was going to wrap presents yesterday but kept getting waylaid by other jobs. I really ought to do it today. Also may do a grory hop today or tomorrow when it hopefully won't be too busy.
Frosty start to the day.
I need to collect our ‘conversion plaque’ today for the camper van….yippee! It will need screwing or welding to the body. All part of the final stages of conversion.
We have a date for final inspection given over the phone but no official letter and appointment time so we’re having to chase that up
Its in the foyer of a hypermarket so I might as well do a quick trolly dash if it’s quiet.
More sewing today but I’m stopping ( along with the diet) tomorrow evening .
Anyway…..brrrrr……Time for a warming cuppa eh?
Kettle’s on!

Morning all.
Thanks for the tea, Nicos, very welcome. I've got a grory hop this morning, then nothing much to do before the big day. I am so organised this year! (A first for me )
Oops- sorry MH , I didn’t notice you there
Well done on getting so organised - you can sit back and enjoy yourself now.
Remember to accidentally treat yourself to something extra
Winter solstice at last! Thanks for the reminder, Nicos. English Heritage will be streaming tomorrow's sunrise at Stonehenge live here. If stone-age people felt half the joy in reaching this point in the year as I do, the celebrations back then must have been the event of the year.
Morning all, well Moth, you might think you are organised but I can go one better…we’ve already had Christmas Day here!! Family we’re all up from England so we had Fakemas on Sunday. We opened gifts and had Christmas dinner. Only problem is I keep forgetting Christmas Day hasn’t actually arrived as yet. We only have our son here now as daughter and family went home yesterday after being here for a week so on the Big Day, my MiL, BiL and SiL will be back for a buffet!
Anyhoo today it feels very cold and I’m not even out of bed, I’ve decided to have a long lie…well after a week with a baby in the house you understand why, loved every minute if it though!
Enjoy your day everyone, hope the weather is kind to you. Catch you all later. x
