A little bit of last nights snow remained today dusting the plants in the garden.

Day 332 - November 28th

Well.... that was a surprise! Tonight Storm Arwen bought us snow.

Day 331 - November 27th

This afternoon Lara and I joined some friends for a trip to the theatre to see SIX!

We were due to have seen this last year but due to covid it was postponed twice. Lara had seen the show a few years ago but it was my first time and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Meanwhile at home, Millie had a feline nursemaid watching over her.

Day 330 - November 26th

This evening we collected Millie from the vet. Surgery went well but she does look a poor thing and is feeling very sorry for herself.

Day 329 - November 25th

 Today Millie underwent surgery. 😔

Day 328 - November 24th

At the beginning of the year I made a Panettone Bread & Butter Pudding. We really enjoyed it but because Panettone are generally only widely available at Christmastime we've not had it again since. Recently I spotted a Panettone in the shops and bought one, so today I tried the recipe again. It was delicious.

Day 327 - November 23rd

Millie is likely to have surgery on her leg soon, so she's enjoying her last few off-lead walks before her walks are restricted whilst she recovers.

Day 326 - November 22nd

I bought some wax melts recently and am enjoying the scent they give off and the warm glow from the burner on cold dark nights.

Day 325 - November 21st

Working on Christmas themed scrapbook layouts today for the Papermaze Design Team.

 

Day 324 - November 20th

This afternoon Wayne & I had our coronavirus (COVID-19) booster vaccine. We went to a walk in vaccination clinic at the local council offices where in March we had out first vaccine. It was extremely busy with lots of people also getting their vaccines done.

Day 323 - November 19th

Day 322 - November 18th

It's been quite a while since I bought Krispy Kreme Doughnuts but I treated us to some this week.

Day 321 - November 17th

I bought some cut roses from the supermarket.

Day 320 - November 16th

The tubs have been replanted for winter - pansies, ivy, cyclamen and heathers.

Day 319 - November 15th

Lara has some very nice chrysanthemums in the living room at the moment.

Day 318 - November 14th

Last year, due to Covid, I wasn't able to join in the village Act of Remembrance. This year, although there was no church service, there was a short event at the village war memorial which I attended.

Day 317 - November 13th

Today we visited East Sussex. We drove to Eastnourne and after a spot of shopping we went for a walk along the seafront and ended up at the pier.

It wasn't as busy as when we last visited at the end of the summer and not as warm either.

Day 316 - November 12th

Time for some scrapbooking.

Day 315 - November 11th

The KitKat wrappers on the bars I bought recently, have "would you rather..." questions on them. These have given us some food for thought.

Day 314 - November 10th

I found this limited edition chunky KitKat at the shop today. Its been available since August but this was the first time I'd seen it. It was quite nice .... considering I don;t really like salted caramel!

Day 313 - November 9th

Day 312 - November 8th

The hanging baskets at the front of the house were taken down and emptied several weeks ago but in the back garden a couple of baskets have been forgotten and these tiny white flowers are still flowering.

Day 311 - November 7th

Mushrooms spotted on out walk.

Day 310 - November 6th

Tonight we went out for an early celebration of my brothers 60th birthday.  I enjoyed a rather tasty steak.

Day 309 - November 5th

Each year we buy a new Christmas tree decoration. Today this Percy Pig decoration was delivered so he may be our new addition this year.

Day 308 - November 4th

Make a wish.

Day 307 - November 3rd

We are starting to see frosty mornings. It must be quite cold for Millie's paws although ti doesn't seem to bother her.

 

Day 306 - November 2nd

Hidden in our laurel bushes is this self-set Stinking Iris also called a Roast-Beef plant. Apparently It is known as "stinking" because some people find the smell of its leaves unpleasant when crushed or bruised,an odour that has been described as "beefy". It doesn't smell of anything to me.

Day 305 - November 1st

Tux enjoying the afternoon sun.
