Quite a productive morning. I got a reminder to tax the car, so I did that first on my phone in a couple of minutes. I remember, not too long ago when it took hours. Firstly trying to find the MOT and insurance certificates. They were never where they should have been. Then, having to go to the main post office in the city and park, join a queue that snaked out of the door (and it was always raining, of course). Technology has definitely improved some things.
I also picked our prescriptions up and have taken some shopping for my brother in law, including a pack of Mr Kipling mince pies. Mr GF had already scoffed one of his mince pies in the car while I was getting the prescriptions.
My A4 sheets of sticky labels arrived with the postie. I only ordered them from A**zon on Wednesday. I've ordered myself some new Croc style slippers with a fluffy lining now as the ones I have got are ancient, the grip is just about worn away and the lining is worn out too.
I think I'll have a go at making the Plum snd mulled wine jam now.

I am really impressed with the plum and mulled wine jam. In the end, for spices, I added cinnamon stick, a few cloves and a couple of bits of nutmeg that were too small to grate without grating my fingers too. I didn't have any orange peel, so substituted lemon peel.
Here's the recipe if anyone is interested.

Late evening all.
What a beautiful sunny day it turned out after a cloudy start.
Most of the day spent outdoors.
GF, Sounds like you had a successful jam making session, I love the recipe you posted.
Lottie if you sew the extra bit on the top I am sure it wont be noticeable.
love your hair style Bren, I am having mine done tomorrow...much needed.
Snoop, hope all is wel, with you and Mister.
Have a good night all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Morning all.
Woke up this morning, full of plans for the day ahead. But I think they're on hold for today at least. Mr Snoop doing a lot better, though.
Nice and sunny. Another million flying ants this morning by the look of it. The swifts had a field day here yesterday. Another one for them if they haven't already started migrating.
Good luck with the curtains, LD.
Have a great day, everyone.
