Cleaning sort of morning here including that flipping terrier doggy who banged at the fornt door to be let in out of a surpise downpour and came in utterly filthy from rolling coypu poo.
Pumpkin soup made and consumed for lunch so now for a shower and the weekly SM raid.
No Xmas pudding here but I will probably make a Creole cake a week before the day and maybe some mince pies on Boxing Day. No cooking traditions here. Very boring, predictable food growing up as mum thought cooking well was beneath intellligent women and that left dad doing what he knew. I have made up for that lack of experiment since and Possum now has traditions.

Afties all. I expect Pat has retired for the evening I used to make my pudding around this time of year, but we don't do them now. Not enough of us to eat it. I love them though, so usually just buy a couple of individual ones for me and eldest daughter. Don't do a cake now either. Daughter soemtimes does one though, and hse's very good at them. I could easily eat the entire thing by myself, so it's a bad idea really.... Been a wee bit absent from here in the last few days, so no idea what's been happening. I'll wish everyone well, and hope that no one's under the weather. Daughter has a lurgy and has kindly shared it with me. Busy day at work. A lady phoned to say her order was wrong, and was very sorry she hadn't checked after picking it up, so we had to stay a bit longer as the show's this weekend. I think it was the boss's fault. She'd written 4 ofone size, and it should have been 46, so we had to get to it and make 42 more rosettes for her to come and collect this afternoon. Happy days! Weather's been rough this week - cold, wet, wild and windy, but to be a bit better over the weekend, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We had a lovely double rainbow the other morning, with some leaden skies behind which were full of hail/sleet. I just got to the camera in time, before one disappeared completely, but it's a bit faint
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Boundless admiration as ever for my brother Jo. We may not have agreed about brexit but we are united in dismay at the intellectually and politically indefensible of the UK position 1/2

Chucking it down and blowing a gale. Matches my mood perfectly.
Miserable as sin, all i have done is read and sleep today.

Boris Johnson added,
This is not taking back control. It is a surrender of control. It does not remotely correspond to the mandate of the people in June 2016 2/2
