Another slobbing around day, except for some housework and some bulk cooking. Could get used to this retirement lark.

Good afternoon all, sunny and quite a pleasant 12°C here.
An easier day to handle with a bit of sunshine promised. It’s -8 deg C, but 17 deg F looks better to me!
Might even take a long walk later. This holing up for two days is for the birds!
Have a cheerful day everyone.

Aww, I love that picture. So cute! I was dreading February for a couple personal reasons, but that picture brightened up my outlook a tiny bit. Thanks.

We found a new-to-us farm shop this morning that actually sold dry cured oak smoked back bacon so we bought enough to last us for the next 3 Sunday breakfasts. We also bought 2 snake and pygmy pies (Friday night’s dinner with oven chips) and a very large cream scone for tea tonight.

You cannot beat dry cured bacon - our local butcher prepares his own and it is delicious.

Talking about tradespeople, or lack of, my sister needs new garden fencing. Part has blown in the wind so meaning her garden is open. I have been on FB and got quite a lot of names and companies for her to call, in the hope at least one turns up for a quote!
Our kitchen doors need replacing the foil has lifted , the supplier no longer does the colour, which in effect means replacing cornices, pelmets , end panels,
We used to call them Kate and Sydney pies 'round 'ere!

Just thought I’d mention that tomorrow will be 2.2.22
Then the next similar occurrence will be on 22.2.22
But the next time that will happen won’t be until 3.3.33

You’re a pedant! 
That’s cos you’re posh.
Our local butcher buys it in and the quality is variable to say the least.
Not heard that one before.
