December ninth was a quiet Saturday in Creation, which sounds as if it ought to be the primary line of story however sadly it is not!
Goodness, it was a moist day right here on Saturday. Plans needed to deserted because the roads had been awash once more so it was a keep in and don’t loads day. I acquired a letter written to go off with a gift and all card writing completed.
Vaguely opening cabinets to consider one thing for my primary meal…….. the house made issues within the freezer are all the way down to a selection of aubergine and tomato pasta sauce, Thai fish curry or pizza topping and I might had all of them final week………….I noticed a small tin of worth vary tuna. Aha, I believed, tuna, pasta and broccoli bake. So I made a jug of white sauce, put the pasta on to cook dinner, opened the tuna and appeared within the fridge for the broccoli BUT there wasn’t any – I might purchased a cabbage final week as an alternative! I can verify {that a} tuna, cabbage, carrot and pasta bake is OK however actually nicer with broccoli. It made two parts – that was sufficient – though I’ve to say the second portion – reheated within the microwave was higher than the primary.
I completed watching the ultimate Harry Potter movie on Saturday night time. It was the primary time I might watched all 8 all over. About time too in spite of everything these years. I am glad I am 68 years outdated and never 8 – I might have been terrified.
This was the latest addition to tree decorations which got here from the maker at a good within the autumn earlier than all of the November Christmas gala’s. It dawned on me on Saturday
Here is one other begin for a narrative……………..
As soon as upon a time after I had 3 youngsters, animals and no time, I made a wreath for the door, Christmas puddings, a Christmas cake or two, the mincemeat after which the mince-pies and Christmas crackers with small presents inside specifically picked for every particular person.
Not one of the above are finished now. The entrance door is adorned with the swag factor I purchased second-hand in 2021. I do not like Christmas pudding however made them as a result of Colin, his Dad and brother beloved them. Christmas cake is simply too candy now – nobody actually enjoys it, half a dozen first rate purchased mince pies will probably be sufficient and Christmas crackers might be discovered at automobile boot gross sales each summer season.
As soon as upon a time I despatched playing cards to many aunts and uncles, grandparents and oldsters – they’ve all gone – aside from one Aunty. I purchased 20 Christmas postage stamps and may have a number of left.
I am feeling outdated!
Again Tomorrow
