Wrap up warm and look after yourself doc. Come to think of it, I'm not ill and that's what I'm doing
I'm quite tired doing that moonlighting on tv with my friend Dove. Don't mention it to the taxman....
Most of the housework's been done yesterday so only odds and sods to do which won't take long. I should really do Christmas cards or something but can't get myself motivated to do any festive things. Too soon for me I'm afraid
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Quite a busy week in the garden this week. Monday - walnut tree removed, apple trees pruned and ash tree cut back to give plenty of clearance round power and phone lines. Wed & Thurs 60 metre length of beech hedge significantly reduced in height to about 6' (was about 3 - 4 m high in places) to make it easier to cut. Glad my only involvement with all tasks was supervision & tea lady (and Paymaster General !!)
Today - have been out spreading some of the resulting chippings on my woodland style paths - glorious sunshine - very uplifting to be out getting some exercise. Trying not to think too much about seasonal tasks today but will have to get my a**e in gear tomorrow!
Might indulge in a little mulled cider later on to get me in the mood
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Half the wrapping done - almost all the paper used
Plus an annoying phone call - why is it that Marketing Surveys are 'nothing to do with selling anything' - they're to do with 'Marketing' aren't they? I'd have thought the clue was in the name But apparently they're exempt from TPS regs. And there's no point in being horrid to the lass 'cos she's only doing her job and when I asked her to remove my number from their database she couldn't because my number was 'generated randomly'. I told her I'd be really tee'd off if I got another call from them and then wished her Merry Christmas.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I often get calls from people saying they are doing an energy survey in my village and do I own my house and am I over 60. I find them really irritating, usually just when I'm dishing up a meal. I'm not always nice like you, Dove.
I've made 112 mince pies. 100 for the Carol Service and 12 for us. And cheese straws with left over pastry.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

NO NEED TO WHISPER DOVE
Not sure whether that's a good or a bad thing Panda

It sounds as if you deserve some mulled cider - all that supervision you had to do - must have been exhausting!

Just having a well earned cuppa...........although mulled cider sounds better
Then off to get ready for tonight.
Have a lovely evening everyone.
Keep warm, take care.
