Glad Clari got her pay at last. What a worry! Hope the next pay arrives when it should.
More sorting done. Bedroom curtains are up and look pretty.
I like sugar and lemon pancakes best, not having pancakes today, though I will be cooking a ready meal here for the first time.
We went to Norwich today to buy a bathroom wall cupboard for medicines, a kitchen scales and a bread bin (OH's got lost in his move from France to Eastbourne, that move was a nightmare too, it snowed and not everything seemed to turn up) and we bought in the sales an oak chest of drawers (which matches the bedside tables we bought last month). That was a struggle to get upstairs - had to lift it over the banister rail. OH had a chest of drawers which the removal men got up the stairs, but not enough room in it for both of us as we had to leave his huge oak wardrobe behind for his daughter 'cos it wouldn't fit here.
The car said it was 6° but it felt warmer. My eyes didn't stream. In France it would have felt colder I think, my eyes always start running when it gets to 7°.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
BLizzie - hope you're beginning to feel 'at home' in Norfolk.
We've had our crispy duck pancakes - now we're too full for our sweet ones but the batter has been made and is waiting, so we'll have a rest and I'll make them in a while.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks so much everyone. Now I've got to pack this Chromebook - so I'm signing off until the end of Feb (probably, unless I get withdrawal symptoms and have to have a peek at the Forum while I'm away... )

Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Have a lovely time Liri.
glad you're settling in Lizzie.
Hosta, it's egg in the middle wrapped in a mixture of sausage meat and black pudding. I bought these from Waitrose's deli counter
but I usually get these http://www.handmadescotcheggs.co.uk/scotch-egg-menus/handmade-scotch-eggs
as they're stocked by a shop local to Ma's Lovely Home.

Evening all,
We've had our pancakes - with fresh pancake mix - lemon, maple syrup and jam, not all on the one pancake.
Wind is very strong here so I cowardly ducked running club - always tomorrow.
Did do the SM shop though, which I consider even worse than running club.
Have a nice evening all, hope your cottage is looking nice & cosy now Lizzie and Happy Holidays Liri.
Nice to see you again too Fairy.
