Out of the shower and ready to join friends at the pub, after dropping off a couple of presents for one of our Shared Lives guys.
Veg all processed ready for tomorrow, with thanks to youngest daughter. Digging up those parsnips and picking the brussels was a challenge in the bog that is our garden ! Hen laying continues to improve.
 Made industrial quantities of pastry for the freezer, so that after Christmas I can make quiches and pies with any leftovers. Left over Christmas pud is good sliced sandwiched between pastry sprinkled with sugar, baked and cut into squares.
Upsetting to see those firefighters shot in the USA. (my elder daughter is in the fire service) for goodness sake!!
Sounds like D is ready, so will sign off and hope that everyone has a peaceful and loving Christmas.
