Hi everyone . I am very relieved ,I have wrapped all my presents and parcels to post .Also addressed all my cards . Just waiting to get some stamps .I like to get them sorted early then I can relax .
Hello all .... things have obviously come to a pretty pass when Transient Ischemic Attacks are the first thing that comes to mind for many of us when we read TIA .... it must be that we've all had or got elderly parents
I've been dashing about today ... farm shop and butchers etc ... and thankfully OH is back to normal following his Wednesday booster, so he's back at work. Now for lunch and a quieter afternoon ....
Enjoy the rest of the day folks ... shall we whisper now @Topbird? 😂
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Ruby, you are very well organised aren't you? I am impressed. Hope the haircut goes well Hazel. I'm having mine done next week. I heard on TV that parcel deliveries may become problematic in the next few weeks so it might be an idea to get things sorted sooner rather than later.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Yours is beautiful too Ruby. I just brought mine in from the GH and I think it has been a bit chilled. I have more in there that need bringing into the house.
Afternoon all - why are you all shouting????🤣 Mucho reliefo after a brief session with the aural vacuum cleaner. You know you were right to go when the audiologist says "Oooh! - that's a big lump...".🥳
Whilst on a health roll, I popped into opticians and booked an eye test for the 30th and picked out some new frames. Decided my 20 year old reading glasses (which are now a perfect prescription for intermediate [ie computer] work) need replacing. Hoping I won't need a new scrip for my current 'best' readers though.
Then a quick visit to a charity shop where I found some pacs of nice Christmas cards at a very reasonable price, some seasonal coasters - pac of 4 for £2.50 (couple of pacs bought as stocking fillers), and a Nigella cookbook I'd been thinking of buying in excellent condition for £2.50. Some real bargains there I think.
Found a new eating place to try and then did a SM shop. Our store (still being refurbished) now features a separate small meat larder with dry aged / properly hung beef joints. All hung for a minimum of 30 to 40 days. The meat looked delicious - will have to try a steak soon.
Managed to get some oxtail from the butchery counter to add to some short ribs I have in the freezer. I'll make a proper beef and mushroom stew with added porcini paste to serve with horseradish mash for Sunday dinner😋
All in all a successful trip out. No gardening today but hey ho - always tomorrow.
Rubee - I won't be at your stage of readiness until about the 23rd December... Well done!
