Christmas cooking.

I have just made some Mince pies,they look excellant,even if I say so myself.I had some tesco mince pies last week and they were insipid looking and full of sugar.``````````````````````````````

We have been watching christmas specials of family fortunes and you;ve been framed.
Dad is having a bottle of Jacobs creek,vintage 2005,which we got from the corner shops chilled cabinet.

We are having warm crusty bread,and various cheeses for supper.

Tomorrow we are going down to Bens flat,and will stay the night there ,so will have to look out a christmas stocking for him.
Ellika has gone back to sweden ,so Ben is on his own, these last few days.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE>

Long time no see.

It has been over 3 years since we last saw Gillian and David.It was on a holiday we had together in spain.

So it was great to get together on Saturday.They came for Lunch ,and we talked non stop till they all went home in the wee small hours of sunday.
We all ate and drank a lot,but it was such fun,and we will do it again soon.

Persian christmas

I have written all the cards now,and have the stamps.so will post them later tonight.

I have to go out to the Camera club to take cups and prints there for Dad. I am sorry to have to report that Dad has a bad back,and is not mentally able to function as normal. He finds it difficult to digest imformation and retain it,so he has worked from home today. I hope he will be back to his normal self soon.

It is very cold today and I cant find my gloves.

While walking down Station Road in Henley,I noticed that the COSY TEAPOT Cafe has closed down. No more toasted teacakes and scones.In its place is Persepolis Resturant,serving authentic persian cuisine.
The menu has such delights as Soltani,a skewer of chenjeh and a skewer of koobideh, for £12.50.
I think I will take Dad there when he is better,It will be something to look forward to.

Ps.for £145 you can order a whole stuffed lamb with rice,minced meat,nuts,fresh herbs and spices.Order one week in advance.

PPs. At work I was asked not to clean the Kitchen as Ronaldo was butchering a lamb ,from the farm. No conection.

Christmas presents

I have been wrapping christmas presents,Paul is comming up tomorrow,so I want to give them to him to take home,as we wont see them untill new years eve.

Its now 8.30 pm ,and I havent had my tea,Dad is at camera club,there is a competition tonight,a trophy for the winner.Good Luck ,but I bet that bloomin Dickie Bird wins.

We went to brighton,for Bens birthday,and had a meal out at Suckatie Boy,which does great food.I hope Ben will put up the pics on his blog,as I forgot my camera.

We stayed at Dan and Lorraines,in their loveley guest room.I took Jarvis for a walk around Whithdean,while Pete and Lorraine were at Boxercise,and he ate some burger ,dropped by the football supporters,and has been sick for 2 days.
