Good morning Sunday

[Aggers]

Good afternoon, friends.

It's actually not raining here and we have been a good walk.

The ground is still soaked and there are many pools where there shouldn't be.

We are having a quiet day for a change, getting ready for the big day.

Enjoy the day.

Ooh yes please Saundra, since it's cyber
Afternoon all
We're 'working' today too, some cleaning plus those silly jobs like washing glasses that haven't been used for a while, finding the Christmas placemats and teatowels...
And I'm going to brave the shops, but not if I can't park

Nearly sorted, we've got a curry for tomorrow night, and gorgeous looking fillet steak for Christmas day - then turkey and ham for after that
Hope you've got something to fight the lurgy Saundra.

Yummy Saundra can I have a square????? I love it..............

Aggers, our Peps finally got a decent walk today - it's been so very wet here all week she's only had short trots round the field opposite It's lovely to see the sun today!

Dyed my hair, stripped the beds, hoovered, cleaned the en suite, tidied and cleaned Mick's study for Chris to sleep in there. Now having a well-earned cuppa and a shortbread finger before tackling the ironing. Then I'm making a spag bol for a late lunch, cleaning the oven, mopping the kitchen and utility floors, and hopefully that will be it

Di I'm defrosting the turkey for the day, and a lovely piece of gammon which I'll cook tomorrow night for cold cuts whenever............I think we'll have sole for dinner tomorrow night - I have some lovely pieces in the freezer and I seem to be ok with sole - and will do mash and garden peas with it I also have a joint of topside in the freezer but have decided to keep that for New Year or maybe the weekend while my sister and family are here. I make my big trifle tomorrow, it we're lucky it might last until Boxing Day tea time

I've bought my mince pies, cake, and pudding this year although I did use to make my own I also peel my spuds and carrots on Christmas Eve to save me time in the morning.....I put a slice of bread on top of the water with the peeled spuds in and then replace the saucepan lid and they stay white - all you have to do then in the morning is change the water
