2023 is going out with a blow, rather than a bang, with a series of Atlantic storms sweeping in from the west, meaning there was little to do for most of the day.
One thing we had to do was go to Tesco, of course, and as Jools had had a bad night's sleep, I went on my own, getting there just before eight as we overslept again.
Tesco was very quiet, more people rearranging shelves rather than shopping, as the festive stock is sold off at knockdown prices. Main item on the shopping list was party food to take to Jen's on NYE when we will play cards and drink wine.
That done, back home where for breakfast, where, instead of bacon, I fry the leftover pigs in blankets and we munched on those with fresh brews.
Even better than bacon butties.
Not much else to do the rest of the day before the footy started at midday, which would kick off with the Auld Firm game.
While that played out, I prepared dinner, which was leftover beef, roast potatoes and gravy. Along with I made a large batter pudding.
And for a meal that took about half an hour of effort, it was quite marvellous.
I have to be honest, the wine meant I slept through most of the football in the afternoon, waking up in time for the Forest v Man Utd game, which lived up to expectations, and Forest running out 2-1 winners, meaning Utd have lost nearly half their games this season.
