Miscellaneous

Odi and Peter have been having couples' counselling- and she's moving back in with him today.  

The downstairs lights are still blowing regularly- or would be blowing if I bothered to switch them on. I find it easier on the nerves to use candles. 

Seeing as how it's nearly Christmas, I've just taken my copy of The Women's Institutes' Book of 650 Favourite Recipes down from the shelf and baked a batch of mince pies.

time yet.

It makes me happy to make mince pies. Cooking is a kind of therapy.

Do you make your own mincemeat from scratch?

I'm afraid not.

But I do make the pastry. :)

What's wrong with your downstairs lights?

Nearly Christmas?
September 25 is nearly Christmas?

*chuckle*

We've had a couple of electricians look at the problem- and neither has been able to come up with a solution. It's tiresome.

Nearly Christmas? Before Halloween (Samhain?) even? Yikes!
