Journal. Christmas Eve

I got up early this morning, had my breakfast of one third of a tin of baked beans and bacon and then proceeded to make the stuffing for the Christmas turkey. I found a recipe on the BBC website for apricot stuffing from a noted chef, it was simple and straight forward. The lady chef will use the stuffing later after it marinates in the fridge. After finishing and cleaning up I was clear by 8 a.m.

We had an email from Ian this morning, he has his laptop with him down in Usk. He said he broke a tooth eating breakfast!?! So I sent him our news back... I had made the turkey stuffing.

Hosing cats and dogs this morning but the rain is forcast clear up later. Enough rain to top up the fish pond... one less job to do before we go on holiday on Boxing Day.

Oh, its heading for our midday and the sun is out once more.
