Not overly a gladden the heart but makes life a little easier.. Tesco credit card FINALLY allowing their cards to go on Google pay. Been on apple pay since day one but always refused Google. So useful when out and about

I’ve got 5kg of onions pickling and this weekend I’ll be making a spicy plum chutney, mango and ginger chutney and raspberry and Prosecco jam

 

[backwoodsman]

The jam sounds nice - provided you're not using the onions in it ?

Must get going with making the mincemeat filling for my mince pies and get my Christmas cake baked. And first choir rehearsal for out Carol Service this Sunday…being held earlier in December this year to avoid clash with WC Final.

I was going to make a cake but as I’m the only that eats it I can’t really see the point so will buy myself a small one.

I only have a couple of slices left of my daughter's 'tester' Christmas cake. Delicious!

Listening to the Alice Cooper Planet Rock Show on catchup and Paranoid comes on. Had to stop working and turn up the volume.

Just to reiterate the pride in my wife.

Leaving a job of 14 years is a big decision, and a tough one. She loves the people but it's an hour's travel each way 3 days a week yet the new school is turn out our house and 5 min walk up the road.

Our eldest goes there and our twins will when they reach the age

It's 5 days a week so she also going back full time which is big for her to consider

She handed in her notice Wednesday, another amazing thing her school have done as a thanks is process it but ammend it as the date she gave would have been her last day of term anyways for her part time but put on in 31st December so she gets paid for the holidays. She didn't have to but the head and her started at that school together and built her team together.

Can only thank that kindness .. especially at these times where money is tight for everyone

She could even start at her new school technically before she leaves the old as they break up 4 days later so she could work them 4 days but balls in their court when they want her to start

Either way she's done amazing

Just wish she would let me tell the eldest she going to be so excited but she wants to wait until the contract is signed

Fair enough

Watching the BBC review of Italia 90 on YouTube. Great tournament, great memories.

The relief and welcome distraction that the Christmas ads on TV will give me from the coming 4 weeks of unremitting deluge of World Cup football…?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Bowls night presentation and I am chuffed to bits with picking up my first cup only to discover I had also won another trophy.
It was early season and must have completely blanked it.

I'll take the football every day of the week .................................... Xmas adverts really boil my swede!

As long as they don’t boil Brussels Sprouts… ??

Aaah, boiling brussel sprouts.
FYI, it's best to boil them until they are fairly soft, that way they are easier to spread on toast.
Mmmmmmmmm.

Been replacing/upgrading most of the machinery in the workshop over the last month (now that orders are flowing again, I have some cash incoming) and managed to save quite a bit of cash with one of those browser plug-in "coupon generators".

But the best part was that I have been looking at a spindle sander (don't need one but always thought it would be handy) but the one I like the look of for size vs power was £170 and for a machine I didn't really need I just said no to myself.

Email this morning that it's on a 24 hour price drop with £70 off. I'll take one of them thangeweverymush.

What an effort by Kevin and his team. And the support shown by everyone along the way. He comes across as a grounded, genuine guy who hasn't lost his roots despite everything he's achieved. If you get the chance, listen to him on Desert Island Discs. Well worth a listen.
