    Me too Flo.

    Went to Sis's for Xmas dinner turkey veggies pigs in duvets and Xmas pud with white sauce (no not on the same plate ) brought enough leftovers home for two meals also got a mini Xmas pud and some choc chip muffins and a few other assorted treats.

    The daughter of one of sis's neighbours' has got covid for the second time and isolating in her bedroom of her parents house who incidentally proposed to (the parents) call at sis's for a get together both sis and bro in law said NO WAY some folks have little sense do they

    That's about it from Mike's Towers, stay safe

    Glad you spent the big day with family. Can’t beat leftovers. Talia and myself have OD’d on turkey and sprouts the past couple of days. I’m well stocked on Christmas Puds and Brandy sauce, the best thing about Christmas for me. In fact I thing I might go bung a pud to nuke it bin while watching the darts.

    So glad you spent the day with Sis love. Did you have a lovely time?
    Hooray for leftovers! We've been using ours up which has proved yummy! We always do, it's something I've tried to instill in our kids!

    How are you doing Mike? Have you had your booster?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hi Mike....pleased you were able to spend the day with your sister. Leftovers?? Well I'm the queen of leftovers! For example......we had duck on Christmas day, with homemade stuffing, piggies in duvets etc. oh and Ian cooked and glazed a piece of smoked gammon. So....so far I've eaten cold duck with bubble and squeak and pickles.........gammon with fried egg on top.....stuffing, gammon and mayo sarnies, errr.....2 of! Snacked on leftover piggies.....coffee with mince pies and brandy cream.....both Olly and Fang have also had cold duck...Olly had mixed veg. with his. you just can't beat leftovers. Just spoken to Zoe and she's made turkey soup. My son Jay was quite bad with covid and was incarcerated in the marital bedroom on his own for 6 odd days...is now out and working his way through their big american fridge full of turkey beef and other culinary delights from M&S....he didn't eat for days as he couldn't taste or smell but he's making up for it now. Thankfully his wife and the girls are C negative. So it's all good. Have a happy new year Mike.xxx

    Nice to see you Flo (Queen of Leftovers) Covid is a pain isn't it will we ever be free.

    Just reporting in *stands to attention and salutes.

    Been busy sticking tiles on the wall behind the cooker a job I've been meaning to do for months

    Spoke to sis on Monday instead of the usual Tuesday as they had to take the car a Porche no less in for a service plus correction of a few minor faults like won't start because everything is electronic these days and it can throw a wobbler and refuse to do anything (naughty little car).

    Update on Lunch club looks like the heating and double glazing will be finished at the end of the month (Feb) so club should start on a 3 month trial in March. Filled in the necessary paperwork as the old club couldn't pass my details to the new club privacy considerations apparently So we shall see. Nearly got blown away walking to the postbox lunch club form in hand.

    Must sort out what veg I'll be growing this year.

    Ooooo tentative yay for lunch club!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Mike, do you want some veg seeds sending? The m-i-l gave A some carrot, radish, and various salad seeds and she doesn't want to grow them.
