Hello and hello my bed! 

Up early. 

Straight in to town. To pick up my kit to make my door wreath. 

Met my minister from church so had a nice chat with him. 

Had to go to mums to deal with something.
Then home and a decent doggy walk and it was still rainy and yukky
Friend came for lunch and we made our wreaths…meanwhile weather has cleared and it was beautiful. 

Had my first mince pie of the season 😊
Down to work for a private function…and oh…excellent tips! 

RTC sprouts in supermarket 😆…they’ll last me weeks it’s only me that likes them. 

Very quick doggy walk and then up to bed! 

A busy day.  

Frith

Quite a busy day, chez Frith.

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Got to the hens so early that they were still just outside their sleeping quarters, looking embarassed!

3) Smaller son went to college.

4) I went to my new museum accrediting job. Did a lot of listening/learning. 2 cups of tea. 

5) Made a chicken, garlic, cheese pasta type thing for tea.

6) Watched I'm a Celebrity.

About 7 or 8 months ago I took an offer with Sky to change our system to SkyQ with 2 boxes, one for each of the rooms downstairs.  I don't know how many times I rescheduled the appointment but it was finally installed today.  We are only paying an extra 5 or 10 pounds a month and we have Netflix too.

As we don't ever go anywhere I think it's worth the money.  Light entertainment sorely needed.  Just got to work out how to use it !

For yesterday,

Slow start as had a rough night so large pot of coffee and toast needed.

Over to see equine girlie, worked her in the school and on the whole she was a good girl, I usually give her a winter break around now but am holding off as not long back into work.

Moved money from survey company into savings.

Found a missing glove under the beech trees, I lost it around 3 weeks ago so goodness knows how I didn’t see it before, or perhaps the fairies just decided to give it back 😉

Mini roast dinner for tea, stuffed chicken thighs with roasted root veg, yum.

Large Coffee! Toast that!
Millions, wes going to make millions!
Welcome to the Q!
Hens are OK!
MHags! Sprouts. Sprouts are not proper food, on my apprenticeship the ones that were processed to go into the freezer were sorted. Those attached to the stalks were removed and sent as cattle fodder! Not available on bored! End of! I note some surplus stores now sell these stalk sprouts for a rip off price!
Crackers at that price. Minded of nana. Each got a dairy and a pen! Dairy marked with her birthday!
Monts! When yous finished the living room, quarter deck needs a scrub!

Leeward we Go!

Was out for a steak last night at the fiery water hole! Served with mushroom and toms! Very tasty it was. Fiery fizzy waters were also taken!

Good news on my Land Speed Record, the roadworks in town have slowed the Albatross down in her quest to take it back! I packed her off with her apple and sandwich!

Kitty has again adopted her winter pose and is well sat on her pouffe! It is seriously dented now! She is delicate and loves me! Yesterday I was quick to do the crossword and had that I has done it movement, putting the pad ceremoniously down on the table as she came in for her lick of the biscuit of weet, and she got startled! Paws and claws do not grip on the vinyl floor. Kitty licked her paws! The Albatross is recovering!

No report tomorrow as the Vets Breakfast club are having the turkey and trimmings! No sprouts on mine as I is getting the Salmon instead! Pud is also being had as well! Party hats will be worn! More on Saturday!

Right that is about it on deck!

Evening all, hope everyone is keeping warm.

Pleasures today:

Two bags full of fruit and veg from Moresins for a fiver first thing this morning after a lovely, fresh, breezy walk there. Bananas, oranges, apples, a pineapple, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, celery.

Another fresh, breezy walk straight back to Moresins after misplacing my mobile phone. Thought I'd left it in the bag of our excess tins I donated to the food bank, but a quick rummage proved this wasn't the case (luckily no one asked what I was doing rifling through the donations). Eventually found it back home on the sofa.

Yet another fresh etc walk round the fields with DD4, stopping at the village church to admire the annual display of dozens of xmas trees made by local businesses. We ate a HM mince pie with pastry tasting of butter, and listened to an older gentleman telling us about a significant event in his life.

By the time we got home we had clocked up 12,000 steps and were frozen and ready for lentil and spinach soup hot from the slowcooker.

 Afternoon in bed with hwb.

1 We ran errands I returned a couple of sale tops, got our boosters, picked up the new TV, picked up ferret meds, and picked up bits to fit the curtain rail and then home for lunch.

2 The new curtain rail has caused a lot of swearing, so I plodded on washed the window as it’s clear to get to, washed the netting and curtains, currently there is a large blanket up while the plaster dries, ho hum why is diy / decorating never easy.

3 I didn’t meal plan this week but had also forgotten about the chicken in the fridge, so tonight I cooked it up with various veg in chicken soup and put it with rice it was far better than I expected. Plenty left for a different concoction tomorrow.

4 A lot of birds and I have seen the woodpecker for the first time in an age down getting thou a lot of food. We also have a very healthy-looking fox visiting, we are working on as long as he’s well fed all is okay. He has chicken skin tonight. The owl has just been hooting around, so relaxing.

5 I have just chopped up 3kg of chicken thighs and bone literally all of it is used, to portion up as part of the ferret diet, pleasure is when it’s done and frozen down, Christmas music might be playing in the background in the kitchen.

I’ve not posted for a week or so, probably because of the anticlimax of ordinary pleasures after lovely holiday pleasures!
So, let’s see:
Watching lots of old episodes of Grand Designs which had recorded whilst we were away, mostly not seen before.
Jacket potato 🥔 lunch and 3 hour catch up chat with old HT.
Hot mince pie and ice cream for pud each evening.
A win on the premium bonds, most welcome after money only going out in large sums for the last 18 months.  It was £100 but better than nothing 😊
i think I’ll have to bank the last one as all I’ve got on my mind is 2 dental appointments over the next 2 days ☹️
Night all 💤
