curiouswombatRambling post this one! The year so far - Daughter-dear, the cat and I saw in the New Year quietly. S2C saw the New Year in at work, and was asleep beside me when I woke on the morning of Jan 1st.
I went to Church as I was to look after any little ones - of which there was one - we had fun, the two of us making crown shaped cookies to celebrate Epiphany! D-d stayed at home, and oversaw dinner. After Church I went up to Bride to collect my mother, and when we were about 100-200metres/yards from home we got a puncture in a rear tyre. How much worse it would have been up on the mountain road miles from home - if a tyre is going to go, then along the road from home is the best possible place!
When Mum and I arrived at our house the dinner was all cooking to perfection - our traditional New Year feast of roast goose, roast root veg., and more seasonal red cabbage, and S2C managed to get up to enjoy it with us - an excellent meal!
Poor old husband changed the wheel for me - then my sister rang, and said that she'd take mum home, as she needed to go up there anyway - so hurrah! and pour out the Asti!
Yesterday I didn't do anything very memorable - but did buy lots of healthy veg - we had stir fried goose in hoisin sauce for tea last night, but there is no point in getting all uptight about food until we have finished the festive foods off. They should be all gone by twelvth night - which is just as it should be, really. Then there will be no more cake, biscuits etc. for a good while.
Today I took lots and lots of packing cases that have built up over Christmas to the Waste Management Site - so trying to keep one of my very few resolutions, namely to keep the spare bedroom as a bedroom, not let it fill up with 'stuff' again. So so far, so good. Now to make Bubble & Squeak out of left over potatoes, parsnips and red cabbage!
Back to work tomorrow - I'm not taking bets on how many messages will be on the messaging service for me - but last Christmas it was 27 I think!
