We don’t seem to be
able to quite relax. We still half-expect to have to get ready to go off to the
hospital. However, things are getting done.
Monday saw the
purchase of the turkey. Yes we are having turkey this year. I’m going to roast
it on Saturday. All the remaining bits will be packed away into small parcels,
appropriately labelled, & put into the freezer. Come Christmas I will get
out some nice slices of turkey, slather them with a creamy cheesy mustardy mix
& pop under the grill for our festive meal – quick & easy, and
stressfree.
Yesterday I got most
of the cards that need posting done in the morning. There remains only the
couple I usually add a letter to. I’ve yet to settle to doing that. In the
afternoon we went down to Morecambe & purchased a calendar & diary for
2019 & some frozen scallops for something a bit festive between Christmas
& New Year. While we were out we posted off the cards I’d done.
Today’s chore will
be the main food shop for this week. Hopefully I will get onto the first draft
of one Christmas letter.
It’s a gloomy day
today. I’ve rarely had to put the lights on to peel potatoes at 9am. Today I
did. Despite the gloom it is staying dry so I should be grateful for that. It’s
just that the gloom is getting me down. It’s now nearer10am & I’m wondering
if I shouldn’t put the lights on even now. Roll on longer days. We’re not so
far from the shortest now.
