Monday 30th December 2024

Well, its still December, and we're still both infected with a cold. Or something. Not too bad, nor too good either.

No point going to the gym either, so there would be another day of lollygagging around the house again.

I did go to Tesco though. Turns out we need some stuff.

I went at half eight and found the store in Whitfield nearly empty. I went round and got what we needed, then back home for breakfast of fresh fruit and yogurt.

For the morning, Jools did some gardening until the chill north wind forced her first to the back garden then inside, while I made two large cottage pies with the hunk of roast beef left.

I boiled potatoes, ground the meat, then once the spuds were cooked, I mashed them and added cheese and butter.

These will be for next month, or when we need something hearty and quick for dinner, along with Boston Beans.

Being a Monday. A normal working day Monday, there was no football until the evening, so for the afternoon I made leftover turkey tagine, also adding a handful of pigs in blankets too.

That was ready to eat at six, so I dished two hearty platefuls and opened a bottle of red wine.

Cheers.

The evening had football: Man Utd losing 2-0 to Newcastle and Chelsea losing to Ipswich by the same score.

Utd were dreadful, and should have lost by more. The have changed owners, manager, sporting director and most of the staff at the top of the club, and yet nothing changes.
