    Not goooooing to boast, but as Nora, The King of the Foes I as just done the crab fish cakes for tomorrow, and tonight's.

    4 Medium Turnips.
    Half toe nail style onion
    Butter
    Parsley.
    Tin crab
    Parsley, salt pepper. Homemade toasted bread crumbs.
    Blitzer mixed

    Cat has gone ballistics.

    Still now only got to do the Fish Chip Mushy peas in the morning.

    Sorry, but I cannot justify £30 Turkey and £25 Ham.

    Well, it's been a strange day without sons here but here are my pleasures so far.

    1) A lie in. Last one for a while.

    2) Popped into flood town to get part of dad's present (4 different sorts of cheese from the deli).

    3) Lunch at my sister's.

    4) Brought another pile of logs in, stacked by the stove, tidied, hoovered etc. All done now.

    5) It stopped raining for a minute! Couldn't actually see the sun but I did see beams of light coming through the clouds.

    6) Smaller son texted to tell me it is 24 hours til he comes home.

    7) Might go and watch TV with my brother later.

    Happy Christmas!

    The little fella has double pneumonia; turns 4 on Saturday. I'd taken a box of things over, so was there when hospital call came.
    His Uncle spent the night and today with him; Mum's workplace[associate equine care entreprise in wealthy Newmarket]is not sympathetic: she had to be at work this morning, 8-16h, after being with him both nights and yesterday too.
    Little chap is on 4 intravenous drips.

    Every spare thought, wish, prayer, incomplete, gift-wrapped or off the petrol forecourt, matters not - please just launch them into the void. They'll find him.

    Tried my darnedest re:long hauler, maybe gained a partial glimmer. Late blvd R would say 'no more birds with broken wings....' I feel his spirit now is not irate to see I do not change après tout, at least not in this.

    I may write after Church, in the meantime, wanted to set the first bit free to run.
