What is your leftover dish today?
I'm doing my chicken, chickpea and chorizo stew but with Turkey.
All the leftover veg and potatoes popped into the oven to warm through to have on the side. Dumplings because why not. And crusty bread to soak up and last bits.
And a PILE of mash because mash.

We've done the presents, the big dinner and the King.
Now cat is fast asleep on the brand new blankets having been hand fed choice cuts of turkey.
Fire is being set.
English* fondue on standby for snacking.
*Leftover yorkies, roasties and stuffing dipped in gravy.

She hates her carrier.
Except today where it's suddenly become fun napping cave. She usually naps on my bed during the day but for whatever reason it's downstairs nap times today. Almost 3 hours so far.

I don't dare Google it but can someone give me a quick hint as to "rule 34?". I've seen it in too many different places to guess. And I don't want to view smut. I'm too tired.

Dad is due an op tomorrow.
Cancelled because the surgeon has flu. Please stay home if you are sick. It's not just your colleagues you put at risk.

Glen Michaels Cartoon Cavalcade.
Personally? A dreadful haircut. Thanks mum.
But also a BMX and the freedom to go anywhere if I was home before 6pm.

The ability to wear miniskirts, function at work with a hangover, and drink coffee after 3pm without spiralling into apocalyptic panic at 3am. Oh and a CD player

Things I miss about Glasgow.
Chicken Pakora. And cheesy curly fries.
Being able to call the taxi company and just say yes when they asked if I was going home.
The vegan burger at the Note.
Ichiban.
The Green in the sun.

Cat has two modes at the moment.
Asleep and angelic or hellspawn.
No in-between mode. Either chaos or cuteness.
And she's hungry too. 3 meals so far today.

When you have a cat you're never alone.
Because everyone wants their morning ablutions soundtracked by a cat eating *something* in the corner of the room.
*Probably a spider or woodlouse.

Poor Monmouth was devastated only two weeks ago by floodwater and it's at risk again today.
When you are doing your Christmas shopping this year, have a look online and see if you can support a business in the area -they so desperately need it.

What a night. Jammies on. Watching a West Wing before bed (so I'm late to the party, so what?)
Bam. Power cut. Turn off everything that should be on. Go check the neighbours.
Oh, sparks from the power line.
That's probably not good....
National Grid out within the hour. Fixed an hour after! ❤️

Accidentally had a week off omeprazole and my hiatus hernia has returned to say hello.
Which is....unpleasant. Unwanted. I feel ugh. I'd forgotten the nausea.

I've been home alone for like 4 days now and I'm totally over it. Cat is fun and all but I miss A.
Plus it's really hard to make flat pack furniture without someone to hold the other side up. And I've no-one to cook for so I default to toast and sadness.

House Pasta for dinner tonight. Not had it in AGES.
Garlic, then courgette ribbons. Olives. Capers. Add the linguine and emulsify with pasta water, Grana and truffle oil. Eat smugly.

While this is truly awful, it is still more coherent than the dreams I have nightly.
If I could monetise my dreams into media, I'd be a billionaire.

My phone is knackered.
So I'm trying to buy a new one. Can't use the OTP because I can't get a text. Can't use the fingerprint scanner because my phone is knackered.
You see how this goes?
I need to go two miles down the road to get a phone signal to buy a new phone.

I've been forced back onto Facebook because everyone* in the village is a boomer and all the local groups are on there.
*not all of them, and even the ones that are have been so friendly and welcoming. But, Facebook. Ick.

Yes. Got my first job in London, met the man I now live with, met one of my closest friends, made countless others, won amazing prizes in competitions. Twitter was my life for 12 years in many ways.
