I went to the Supermarket this morning. It was suprisingly quiet, so whizzed around in no time.
We are just like you with the fog @AuntyRach it is a very damp, murky day and it just has not lifted like other days. I was hoping to get out in the garden for a bit but it wont happen now.
It's been damp and murky here except for a brief bit of sunshine just after lunch. I should have got out for a walk while I had the chance but was deep in the Sunday papers then. Housework nearly all done with daughter's help with the hoovering - yippee. Looking forward to a nice roast lamb dinner and the left over tarte. My hairdresser very kindly phoned to book me in for December, she's only got a few places left. I have my doubts about that but I might as well book in case we're let out after all.
I went out to the garden - it was surprisingly warm, although very misty and damp. Casseroles are in! Just need to make the herby scones to go with them now.
I forgot to get the chicken out of the freezer so I'll be having fish fingers tonight, but I like fish fingers. Rarely have them, bought them for the grandchildren who can't come now thanks to the lockdown.
Did a bit of HW today.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Beautiful day here, sunny and warm, a joy to be in the garden. Have had 6 x Christmas Puddings steaming away all day and a slow cooked beef casserole on too. Came in just as it was going dark and feel like I've got a lot done.
Some of the beds are looking a bit bare now, I have had to be so ruthless, but hopefully for the longer good. Many of the trees have suffered storm damage over recent years and many shrubs have been deprived of light, I've cut back, chopped off and dug out anything that was looking sorry for itself and made lots of space. Also dragged up yards, or should I say miles of honeysuckle that had gone completely mad and ivy too. Planted more plants that had to be removed from beds that are to be grassed over and was very excited to plant two new rose bushes for my little white bed, small, compact and prolific blooms they say, we'll see.
Chatted with a friend today, but it became very tricky, he believes all this coronovirus is a hoax, the vaccine will be the governments way of controlling us all and no one has the right to take our liberty away from us. Very difficult to debate with him because I have been brainwashed apparently, as have most of us and he knows where the truth is hidden. He is a lovely lovely man, who knows he may be right, but it's not a debate I want to get into, all very tricky.
Anyway, have a good evening all, off to enjoy my casserole.

Rest assured he is not right @D0rdogne_Damsel ... your friend is the one who has been brainwashed. 🙄
So often our innate good manners prevents us telling folk they’re complete loons. I think we need to start calling out idiocy when we hear it. There’s people posting on the local Next Door site that David Icke is the answer to the world’s ills. 🦎 🤪 😡
Beef casserole here tomorrow. Lamb chops, Yorkshire puddings, roasted baby potatoes and runner beans tonight.
Just love fish fingers @Busy-Lizzie ... considered a treat here 😋

Never trusted that man since I saw him sitting on a sunny restaurant terrace in Bergerac - eating at a Chinese restaurant in 1991! He wasn't wearing the turquoise tracksuit tho. We were on our way to a brasserie on the other side of the square to enjoy a proper French lunch.
Slow roast chicken in the oven on a bed of homegrown garlic and lemons. Don't tell the chooks! They're starting to look much more bonny now with only small bald bits left and 2 even have decent looking tail feathers and not just spines and their combs are much better too.
Thought I'd treat OH to a home-made lemony orangey Xmas pud but found we have no orange liqueur to soak the fruit. Never mind. Can fix that next time I go to the SM.

Over the past couple of months I have heard more and more conspiracy theories around covid. I try not to get into conversation about it any more as I have been called like you brain washed or a sheep. Whether these ideas are coming from fear or just wanting to believe something else I am not sure but with a lot of things there are always conspiracy theorists coming up with stuff. What I do know though, I know people who have had Covid and also I know people working on the covid wards. I will happily be a brainwashed sheep and do whatever I can not to get it or spread it.
We just had a light tea tonight as Mr Purple Rose is at work till later this evening so I am enjoying a film on Netflix in my Jim Jams 🤣🤣 we will be having beef casserole from the slow cooker tomorrow evening as we both finish work at a decent time.
