Afternoon. Just back from a family afternoon with card-swapping, mince pies, etc. Almost feel festive! Just waiting for the SM delivery now. Had an email to say theyāve Ā substituted oven-bottom muffins (basically bread rolls) with toasting muffins but Iāll keep them as theyāll be nice for a snack. Luckily I already have some bake-at-home baguettes for bread roll substitute as Iām not going shopping again until after Xmas. I was expecting more things not to be available so Iām happy with it being just the rolls.Ā
Hello all ... back from a lovely time visiting Wonky and her Lovely Hub and a trip out with the Birthday Boy ... now ImĀ home and on the sofa and a lasagne is in the oven. Flolloping time šĀ

More faffing with decorations here and putting together the cake part of the Creole cake with all the drunken fruit to start baking and starting off the slow roast belly pork in another oven.Ā Ā Making a Scandinavian style 2 dimensional tree for the hall and it ain't as easy as it looks.Ā No prezzies wrapped yet.Ā Asking for trouble with two dogs and two cats.
Howling gales again here and serious sleet and hail smashing on the windows at dusk so all blinds now down.Ā Ā Some eejit didn't recharge the battery for the drill/screwdriver so the assembling of the real cat flap wind tunnel is held up.Ā Ā That means another noisy night with the temporary fix that doesn't work in 90pmh winds.
Wouldn't want to be away from home for Xmas but safe journeys and good times to all setting off for other parts.Ā Hope you and Moira enjoy your break @punkdoc.
Glad you've had a good day @Dovefromabove.Ā Haven't had a toasting muffin in decades @AuntyRach but I think I might have a go at making crumpets.Ā Found my crumpet rings today while hunting out Xmas cutters for biscuits.
Good stuff @Lyn. I think it's a hotel now if you want to go and stay Hosta.
We've had a wedding invite in with the Xmas card, a full 6 months before the happy day!Ā In the middle of Oxford so we'll be looking for a hotel as well.
Good morning @Pat E and everyone else as you arrive š āļøĀ Weāre nearly there š just a quick supermarket dash for a few odds and ends and then a bit of ineffectual waving of a duster and thatās it ... I might make a few mince pies and sausage rolls tomorrow while I listen to the Carols from Kingās College ... and Christmas will have started ...

Feel like I've been kicked in the guts.
Not a happy bunny.
