    Good afternoon everyone, 
    Grey and raw here and supposed to drop to well below freezing tonight.
    This morning my sis, my oldest friend and I went to the final church service in the church local to where we grew up. Although not from religious families our families were heavily involved with the Guides and Boys Brigade and the place was full of folk like us from that time. It's a massive building plus halls and a huge manse so it will be interesting to see what happens to it. Lunch when I got back was some LO salmon and roast veg with a green salad. Turkey and veg soup for dinner tonight. I've made a large pot as my sister has been promised some and I want to freeze portions as well. A little turkey remains which I'll freeze for a future meal. Half of the carcass is still in the freezer so the 11lb bird did us well. Didn't get as far a prepping the cheap Christmas veg for the freezer, I'll see how the day goes and maybe do some later. It's currently in old pillowcases in breathable bags in a cool room so will last for ages. I've a Tesco order coming tomorrow and I'm hoping for more cheap carrots and swedes before the offer ends.

    I had a nice day. I had my class and then went to Cafe Nero and Holland & Barrett on the way home. I was hungry when I got in and had some crackers with the spicy dip I bought. I’m going to make a smoothie and I might make jacket potatoes with baked beans and a burger or something from the freezer tonight.
