    ”I just leaked to get things done early, so the cake and puss are always made in September early October at the latest.  The cake needs that time to mature. “

    I hope the leak is fixed in time and am sure the puss will smell delicious!!

    Love it Lyn!!! Smiling away as I go up to my bed

    Hi all.

    Just thought i would pop in to say hello.

    managed a couple of hours very gentle gardening this morning and was then in bed till I had to get up to cook dinner, OH now being back at work.

    No real progress, but I am doing stuff and feeling positive, some of the time.

    Hope fairy is well.

    Love to all.

    Hi Punk really good to hear from you, glad you have had a better day. It's been foul here and my oh is like a caged bear when he can't get out.

    hope your oh is feeling more rested

    It's fairly windy over here tonight LP.  Hope you are a bit more sheltered.

    Evening all. Just had a read through what I have missed today, as been in work. 

    Won't be joining in the 'stir-up' as can barely tolerate Crimbo pud or cake! I have been known to scoff a mince pie - but that is usually either out of politeness or because I am starving (although my Mum-in-law's ones are very good as they have orange zest pastry). 

    Glad to hear you are doing a few things Punkdoc. Hope everyone else doing ok. 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    image Punkdoc. That is progress indeed. 

    And LP: image.

    Dove, my kids have this thing about endless 'eves' (ie: "Happy Birthday eve eve" two days before) and Boxing Days (ie: "Happy Birthday Boxing Day" the day after)... I hope that makes sense! So Stir Up Sunday can be Advent's Advent.

    Gosh, that was a bit tortured, sorry. It made sense in my head.

    Night all.

    Makes me laugh LG the L. I thought my family was the only one that made three day events out of every occasion!

    We do the xx Eve, xx, xx Boxing Day thing here too - like to eek out as much as we can from celebrations.  My Christmas puds are always made round bonfire night -   coz that’s what my Mum did.  There was a “my naughty little sister” story that calls them bonfire puddings because Grandma makes them to take NLS’s mind off the scary fireworks, so we are not alone image.  Stirring the pudding and making a wish is done via FaceTime these days?

    Lovely to see Pdoc popping in, and also hoping Fairy ?‍♂️ is good too (see she has her own emoji now ?‍♀️??‍♂️ - with a choice of frocks)

    sat in Brisbane airport waiting for a flight to Sydney.  Had a lovely time catching up with Mr C’s rellys in Brisbane.  Went out for something to eat last night at a bistro type place (nothing fancy) and Jonny  Bairstow was sat on the table next to us with his girlfriend.  All very low key so we left him in peace ....but I was quite star ? struck.  Good luck to the boys for the first test tomorrow ?   ?  ?
