Good afternoon.

It has eventually just stopped raining, temporarily, I think. All the remnants of snow have been washed away now and the weather is just dank and miserable.

I have been browsing the internet this morning, supposedly looking for Christmas presents. There seems to be sales on everywhere. I have bought a few items and some might end up as presents.

Well, I've just, belatedly, realised it is stir up Sunday. I've now got some butter in the freezer, to grate, and I'm defrosting some bread out of the freezer ready to zap into crumbs. I've got all the other ingredients so after our evening meal I'll make four small puddings and put them in the electric steamer for about 3 hours. The level on my brandy bottle seems to be dropping inordinately quickly lately, and I never actually just drink it. It either gets used in baking/cooking or hot toddies when I'm under the weather.

I've also just cut into our second Christmas cake and it looks and tastes just as good as the first.

Good evening all. I have just taken in a line of laundry thank to the wind from storm Bert.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good...my grandmother always said this.
