Wet & wild day here, so we’re hunkered down. The WifeTM asked me to check if a house round the corner had sold yet. It’s been on a week, but still not sold. Next I was on to check house prices and pleased to see that ours is now worth 5% more than we paid for it in June.

Popped to Iceland for celery and onions, as I realised I lacked both and I want to make soup overnight in the slow cooker. Most people were wearing masks, though some bloke strolled in without one just ahead of me
Refurbishment continues apace at the kebab shop. Still not sure exactly what they're doing, but I think a new counter may be in the making. I assume it's not going to involve any change of use, as they're always really busy.
And you'll all be pleased to hear that the Polish café, having survived the deliveries only era, seems to be thrivingComment

I also checked the bins. General waste are all empty; recycling is about half full. So I don't think I'll bother trundling this weekComment

The person I was with has a horrible cold - so it's likely he's now got it and will be thinking it is Covid.

Bit of a fright today. Was turning left at a junction and some idiot was completely on the wrong side side of the road overtaking a bicycle at speed. Had to slam on brakes.bloggoth

Tea: M&S Cumberland sausages with chips and beans. The sausages are nice and peppery, and all in all it was a delicious change from all this fancy festive fare
And before that I prepped the stuff for the overnight soup, so that's all ready to goComment

HWMBO and I pootled over to Notting Hill / Portobello Road way and had a little mooch about.
Found a very good off license that has stock to rival the hallowed Gerry's in Soho. We then went over to Jeroboam wherein HWMBO discovered that they had a bottle of Cristal of a particular vintage for the equivalent of a 'bargain' in expensive wine terms. So he bought that because my friend had a bottle of Gusborne Rose delivered to me today with a card saying "here's some fizz in case HWMBO doesn't buy you Cristal for New Year".
After that, we went over to an establishment with three names (Ginstitute, The Resting Room, The Distillary) for a couple of pre-cinema cocktails.
We very much enjoyed The King's Man and also I was pleased to finally get to The Electric Cinema and discovered it was a far nicer venue than I had expected.
After the fillum we went to the Electric Diner attached to the cinema for dinner and more cocktails before getting the bus home.Comment

Telly has been some cop nonsense while eating, followed by a further episode of the excellent Dopesick
And then another Air Crash Investigation, featuring the DC-10 that took off and immediately shed its left engine before plummeting to earth, wiping out a hangar and the people working in it
The slow cooker has been started, so I'd better get to sleep so I can rise bright and early to get on to the second stage of the soupmaking
Goodnight allComment
