Consider it done!

Into November now...all I have to do is complete form 3517-K (Régime Simplifié) and I can relax. Until they find a mistake and I have to present myself for a good solid telling off.

More snow here last night. Sleet and hail showers today. But I can see a patch of blue sky to the north. I'm just between blanching and freezing carrots (and making beef and barley soup), and heading out into the cold to do the animal chores. And yes, it is cold.

Done. And now it has started raining. But it's not cold - it never really gets too cold here. Windy and sometimes stupidly hot, perhaps. So I shall go and attack brambles in the rain until it gets dark to re-establish my equilibrium.

Waiting in for a freecycler to collect my unwanted belongings!

I'll join you all in that.

Woo, I just won some pinking shears on ebay! Calls for another drink, methinks...

I really, really could do with a nice long G&T tonight, too...

Must be in a pretty bad state to feel like that. :?

I've just done an hour of yoga (sober), then made home made pizza and flapjack, just waiting for them to come out of the oven! I think I'm due another glass of wine! *hic* :drunken:
