Thanks for suggestions. Will research tomorrow more cartoon books
Dog can fill room with 'warm' smells especially when he's really relaxed
Cat s just joined him in front of fire. She's lying on her back with her paws bent on her tummy. very contented. Much like avatar picture.. Shame to distirb them with feeding time really!
Happy memories of dog & cat in front of the fire when growing up. Not waking to ice on the windows inside though....
Curtains drawn, engineer gone. Now how to get up to rehang the clean, ironed, aired (!) bathroom curtains without standing on the edge of the bath as per normal........OH & taller steps maybe?
Gary- I've dug up all my outside strawberry plants. Garden not really sunny enough, nor space enough to justify keeping them. We've also got a good fruit farm not too far way, so apart from those in a pot & my alpines, which edge the fruit bushes bed & a rogue one at the edge of the lawn flower bed, I will be lucky to get a bowlful I expect.
An apple & almond pudding is baking now. Licked out the magimix bowl-yum. J.
It's not a sliceable sort Bjay. Like an Eve's pudding but using ground almonds instead of flour in the normal sponge topping. Am hoping it'll be ok as first time done in this oven, so not sure of new timing. Will check soon. J.

If they're anything like mine, Bjay, they'll be dreaming about feeding time anyway!

Animals now fed and back in front of fire. Cat having a good wash as they do
Other cat ( my mothers) is hiding in garden room, i have carried her in but she scuttled away again.
Going to try strawberries for first time next year. Probably be clogging cyber space with questions when I do.
Dean, I've heard about some Initiations! You didn't have to roll one trouser leg up, and hop on one leg in a circle did you??
