Morning all.

It sounds, Flo, like you might also be having to contend with Lord Ginger's expectations if things are different where he lives or in the other households he visits. He'll learn eventually. Consistency is what matters, even with cats.

Extremely cold again, but another bright day ahead. Change due in a day or so, but the snow is holding off at our altitude (500 m).

Mr Snoop has gone out for the day. A mini grory hop and new tyres. He's off to a really big city for us, population 37,000. There's even an Aldi! Plus a huge agricultural coop, so I've sent him there for oranges and lemons (it's close to the coast, so a big citrus-growing area) plus other veg. I'll be picking your brains for tips on preserving lemons, GF.

Right, better get on with the show. Deadline to hit tomorrow and it's a bit touch and go...

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning.

8°C with sunny spells at the moment and absolutely no wind.

Snoop, I haven't made any preserved lemons for ages, and I don't know why because I really like them. I must put unwaxed lemons and sea salt on my next shopping list. A jar of them makes a great gift too.

There's nothing that I absolutely have to do today, but domestic jobs are mounting up again. Where does all the muck and dust come from?

Good Morning All Sunny here so I might get the washing hung outside for a change. Hope you meet your deadline Snoop. Have a good day

Mornin n’alln’all;D
Dull as dishwater outside. Only a light frost so it’s warming up a tad.
Looks like my geraniums haven’t been happy in the enclosed barn. Not sure what temperature it got down to inside , but I’ve never known it to freeze in there. I may just give them a drop of water before we go…could be that.

Lots of packing etc going on here. But I still need to make the lemon curd. Shouldn’t take long as everything is ready and the hats are sterile.

Re Lord Ginger….personally I’d ignore him when he begs at the fridge…play stupid. Then you won’t need to ‘tell him off’ as he perceives it? Just pretend you don’t speak cat Well…that’s one approach I guess…but you know him better than me! As Snoop says…remain consistent…she’s more used to handling/ training a more bonkers cat than I am!

Enjoy your day peeps…
