      Here’s mine for this year which fits the mood

      That yew tree has seen 150 xmasses. Great grand parents would be rolling over in their grave if they saw that.

      Edit wonder if anyone has put a goon bag and peanut butter on a yew tree before. Could be a world first.

    It’s nice seeing people’s Christmas trees. I myself don’t decorate because no kids and can’t be bothered. There are a couple of houses nearby that do lots of lights and I look forward to them putting their decorations up. So to all the decorators out there, thankyou for the Christmas spirit, sincerely from the non-decorators. We appreciate it.

    can I just add , this weather is really shitty for humans

    but it’s good for bread making so today I will be making a dozen olive bread dinner rolls and I’ll add a cup of warm milk to the mix to make it extra soft, tender and milky white.

    Back from shopping. Soooooo humid. Preston market is crazed, they had the misting spray on to cool people down - in close to 100% humidity. Not terribly effective.

    Side note : found a lonely block of frozen tofu at the bottom of the freezer. I’m bored with my usual marinades so any suggestions? I usually do either a curry paste based one or a standard soy/mirin/chilli one.

      I ❤️my Teriyaki Sauce:

      1/2 cup low sodium Tamari (or soy sauce)

      3/4 cup pineapple juice

      1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

      5 tablespoons brown sugar

      1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

      2 teaspoons grated garlic

      1 teaspoon sesame oil.

      In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the Tamari, pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine well.

      Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium low. Continue to cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat to cool and set aside.

    The amount of sales-related emails and texts I’ve been getting is staggering. More than any previous year I feel. These businesses ask for a mobile for an online order and then it gets used to spam promotions. Mass unsubscribing is in order.

          We ended up playing No Mercy Uno, an epic battle which required the entire (massive) deck of cards to be shuffled 3 times. Elder threw in the towel, and eventually Miniest did too. So I won but it was a hollow victory born from endurance rather than skill!

          Edit: I love Wall-E though, very underrated film in my book.

    Place is looking a bit more habitable, wfh desk setup, still very cluttered and need to get rid of the poang footstool (chair in bedroom piled with crap) which will open up more space.

    Let’s hope my plants will look this lush over the next 6 months! These are the survivors after many deaths (and much neglect in a sunnier place).

            I reckon you’ll find it easier once you’re closer to the city and feel more connected to where you live - and a smaller space forces you to get creative too as I mentioned to Spud.

            Those are some nice-looking floorboards though, dang! Haven’t lived in a house with real floorboards in forever…

        Aw thanks, I definitely have not been trying hard here, just working with what I have. Sometimes a small space forces you to get creative…

    Hectic rain on its way, thank goodness - it’s been so warm and humid overnight!

    Gonna have a bit of a lie in and then start on moving around shit in the living room and unpacking that stuff once and for all. And putting together the damn bookshelf.
