Friday morning

 Good morning all.  Yesterday it rained the whole day, today we are back to just dull and quite cold I suppose just right for December. I think this is going to be a difficult month especially as we are tier three so basically locked down for the foreseeable future.  I feel so sorry for the people whose livelihoods are being destroyed. But I suppose better unemployment than dead.  Anyway in the same vein I will not be sending cards but donating that money to various charities.  These are the ones I have chosen

Red Cross, the Sally Army, guide dogs for the blind. 

We have decided to do away with much of the Christmas stuff as we are all grownups so Christmas here will be eat and drink and make merry. Denzil only has a couple of days off over the whole period so it will largely be life as usual.  

Ok time is marching on and I am gasping for a coffee.  Have a good day.

Friday morning

 Good morning all it’s a frosty cold but sunny day in fact a proper winters day. Tomorrow there will be rugby to watch.  I must admit I haven’t watched any of the Winter Olympics it’s not my thing.  I must admit I have never fancied skiing I can fall over on carpet. My tripe arrives today and I have made the mirepoix ready so just some simmering to do.   I think I might use the slow cooker the hopefully it will be ready for supper. Well my cup is empty and I hear the shower calling so time to get on.  I will be staying in the warm and playing in the kitchen.  Have a good day and stay warm.

Thursday morning

Good morning all well it is raining which is kind of par for the course.  This week has been one to forget as soon a possible.  Yesterday should have been a good day and despite feeling rubbish, I pushed on and got things organised for Shiona's visit.  So you can imagine how delighted I was when she didn't turn up.  She forgot.  So the boys and I had a nice lunch and I then took to my room and watched a lecture by Jordan Peterson which took my mind off my disappointment.  It is reassuring to hear someone of such intellect say that life is hard and nasty.  His latest book "12 rules for life an antidote to chaos" is a book that I have read once and I still pick up and reread the odd chapter when chaos is looming. So today I will be cooking the quails for lunch as the three of us will be here but as yet I haven't decided what to do with them.  I quite fancy Gnocchi Alla Romana but if I want them I will have to get a move on as the polenta has to...
