The cake looks delicious @Dovefromabove. A slice with a cup of tea would go down a treat 😉. We braved the SM after all as there was a lull in the wind and rain. We got everything on the list and the queues weren’t bad at all 👍🏼. Just the meat to collect tomorrow and the chemist to visit.
Won't bore you with too many details, but the recent COVID has considerably worsened my already terrible chest, so there has been much debate about whether I should have my hip done. Anyway decisions have been made and with a bit of luck, my operation will be on the 28th. of December.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
A hard day taking Dad to appointment then shopping. Even hospitals are difficult for disabled people as you seem to have to walk from disabled parking or drop-off points, then order a porter, then wait ages… Sorry not very festive to whinge but whilst I am… numerous examples of poor driving today and the equivalent with walking (particularly in SM car park and aisles). Also, someone bumped my wing mirror and I’m now feeling very Grinch-like 😡
I'm pleased about 2 bits of good news - @punkdoc has a date for his operation, hope it happens this time, and @Dovefromabove has a worrking cooker. Cake looks good.
I've finished my Christmas shopping. I now have a Christmas tree after all. Put it on the decorations thread.
This afternoon my garden was full of baying hunting hounds. I rang CB as he's a member of La Chasse and he came quite quickly but by then the hounds had gone into the wood. CB rang later to tell me that they were hunting wild boar and they'd shot a big one weighing 175kg. Sounds as though the Chasse has Christmas dinner sorted!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Can you not lay claim to a hindquarter @Busy-Lizzie? Very tasty 😋 I remember having a ragu of wild boar with polenta in a little village square in Tuscany during a village celebration 😋

Keeping fingers crossed for you, @punkdoc. At least you can have the op done without a GA. Hopefully you will be able to access some decent physio afterwards, to get you moving and help keep your chest clear.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing ok.
