My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find.
Do let me know if you enjoy this & I'll make more 🦌

Just had my covid booster. Told to take it easy for the rest of the day. Thank you I will. May eat a few ginger biscuits! 🫚

Ginger biscuits just out of the oven. First biscuits I’ve baked for Christmas. For a neighbour who’s helping look after our dog. Very easy recipe. Few more in the freezer for emergencies. 🍜🍽️🫚🎄

This afternoon we had the pleasure of seeing The Big Animal Quiz with @kirstywebeck.bsky.social, Ivan Aristeguieta and 2 of their comedian friends. What a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon.

I’m getting my ducks in a row for our bathroom reno early next year. All fixtures and fittings ordered, payed for and awaiting delivery. One order came the next day! Woohoo
I love it when a long awaited plan comes together. 🛁👷‍♀️🔨🚿

Just made my second batch of fruit mince pies. These will join the others already in the freezer. When we want them , bake straight from the freezer. Most will be given away.

How bloody satisfying. Just had meeting with bathroom designer to review ‘final’ plans. Plans are incorrect and missing info. Plans weren’t produced by him.
He gave us gold stars for being on the ball. #WeWereRight #SoThere

Just what we need at the moment. It’s on in 2 weeks (mums birthday) so come along. It’s a lot of fun seeing comedians keeping their language squeaky clean.
Just ask @kirstywebeck.bsky.social

After dinner tonight we had chopped apple cake. Wanted a dairy free cake - this one uses oil instead of butter.
Recipe calls for bicarb soda, but I don’t think any of the other ingredients are acidic. May try with baking powder next time. Looks like a brick!

Just pulled these cheese & coconut buttons out of the oven. Omg the aroma is wonderful. They have a pinch of cayenne for a bit of a kick. Very easy to make. Serve with a drink or just gobble them up. 🍽️🍜🧀🧈🥥

Dinner tonight was turkey chilli and veg stuffed jacket potato. Delicious and filling.

Spoke to my niece last night, she’s staying at the hospital with Kim. Kim doesn’t want a funeral, they’d talked about it in depth and it was very reassuring for my niece to know Kim’s wishes. So talk to your family, let them know your wishes. It’s a gift to your kids.

Went out for Mexican lunch to acknowledge my sister’s 69th birthday. She’s made it just. Better than waiting for news at home and Peri loves a dog friendly restaurant. #lunch #dogs
