Weird innit?

Yeah, especially as it happens every year

I made a toad in the hole for dinner. Very nice it was too

Been a while since I made that. I must add it to the queue

Phase II of the soup is coming to pressure. There is going to be a lot of this one. Good job I made room in the freezer

I only have some recycling to put out. Part of me can't be bothered to open the back door and carry the bag up the stairs.

Recycling trundled. Chilly out but still dry. The tiles on my patio and stairs are covered in salt residue. I hope it rains soon to wash it all away (but overnight so as not to ruin my day).

Tea has been the remaining leg and wing of the Big Chicken, along with a little bit of breath meat and the rest of the skin, reheated and guzzled down with chips and ketchup

And whilst guzzling the soup finished its pressure cooking, and there is indeed a fearsome lot of it

Just reducing it a little now, after which I'll portion it up so it cools down a bit quicker, ready for a night in the fridge

I popped out the back and trundled the full(ish) recycling bin. It feels perishing cold out there; -2°C apparently

Someone was having a firework display earlier

Then I remembered it is Chinese New Year.

Year of the Ox if I remember correctly.

Ah, that explains the fireworks I heard a few minutes ago
