Morning denizens

Grey out, 9°C, and it’s clearly rained at some point

Ah well, it makes a change I suppose.

Busy day ahead, for Monkey Life starts at noon and runs for a whole seven hours!

[DoctorStrangelove]

Snow in Scotland according to the weatherman.

House half heartedly vacced, or rather the floor area that's easily accessible.

Which isn't much.

Lunch: roast beef, as extracted from the lower reaches of the freezer, interred there some time in 2018, rice pud done to a turn, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

The beef was unexpectedly excellent, and the rice pud equally so.

Once I've recovered from the morning's endeavours, rubbed some more ibuprofen gel on my back, had a wee, and changed, it'll time for the Sunday afternoon trek to Tesco and Morrisons.

I may need to purchase further supplies of Fairy Liquid since I'm almost at the end of the enormous quantity bequeathed by Strangelove Mater in 2014.

I won't mention the even more enormous quantity of cooking salt which will be there until we have snow later today.

Buttered toast (wholemeal) for lunch

Got another family Zoom call later.

[NickFitz]

It’s getting windy out now

No sign of any snow, or even rain, though

[ladymuck]

No snow where I am either.

Laundry done. I was going to put it out on the line but opted for draping over the clothes horse instead

[BR14]

a large pot of chicken, potato and chickpea madras on the hob.

Enjoy!

Zoom call soon. I’ve finally remembered to set up series record of Monkey Life so I can catch up on the bits I miss later. The telly has a 3TB disk attached to it which is virtually empty apart from mudskipper’s appearances on Countdown, because I keep forgetting I can record stuff, and most stuff is either not worth recording or available on catchup anyway

Whatever happened to "640k should be enough for anyone".

Trip to Tesco and Morrisons done.

Everything washed down in warm soapy water.

Sufficient replenishment of Fairy Liquid accomplished to last at least 18 months.

No inneresting Heinz soups purchased since it mostly seems to be Tomato & fecking Basil my little piranha fish.

Back grumbling away again, I was staggering around as if I had something stuck where the sun don't shine.

More ibuprofen gel required.

Now to portion up the lamb's liver so it comes back out of the freezer in suitable portions.
