    Good morning everyone, 
    Hope the insurance company get their act together Farway.
    We've a weather warning for heavy rain today, it was very wet earlier but is dry just now. 
    My low level lurgy is still lurking, I wish it would hurry up and depart! I've a "rudolph" nose from all the blowing!
    The turkey soup is delicious, just as well as I made it in my bigger stock pot and it's yielded 10 400g portions. Some we'll use for lunches this week and I'll freeze the rest. I need to sort the freezers so I can stash turkey etc. After DS2's small freezer died earlier in the year I've been managing with "just" the two main freezers but with us eating a lot less I'm struggling for space for festive stuff so succumbed and bought a small under the counter one to see me through that. It's currently in the front room/office but in the New Year I'll get it emptied, unplugged  and stashed in the hall cupboard. 
    Soup for lunch and folded omelette with sauce, salad and rice for dinner.

    I had half a papaya (unripe 😣) for breakfast. Ate my lunch early as I started work at 7, healthy(er) potato salad. Anna Jones Breakfast eggs zhuched up with some peppers and aubergine and a baguette for dinner.

    I had my usual toast with Flora and vegemite and my first chocolate from my advent calendar. I have booked two more classes for this week. It is really grey and rainy today. I put the heating on for an hour.

    I have got a lentil lasagane ready meal for dinner. I will add more veg on the side. I fancy peas so I might go and buy a bag of frozen peas when it stops raining. Looking at the BBC weather I might just have to take an umbrella!

    There’s a very stormy sea this morning and a full moon towards the end of the week, hopefully the weather won't be too stormy by then.

    I have leftover curry & rice for lunch, just need to add a few more prawns to eke it out a bit more.

    Continuing on the spicy theme and trying to clear my sinuses a bit, tonight I’ll do a jerk pork chop, pineapple and red onion salsa, sweet potato wedges.
