5 days have gone by..

I do sometimes wonder where the time goes, I have been reminded that nothing has been written this week and thinking back it has been a week of doing normal things.

Tuesday - washing and ironing, sorting out Xmas pressies ready for posting and household jobs.
Wednesday - I had a big bread baking session in the morning, 2 white loaves, 2 brown and 8 large rolls. It took longer than usual for the dough to rise, although it is sunny during the day the house is not getting as warm, the sun doesn't have as much strength to it at this time of year.
Thursday - I have a feeling we were cutting firewood up again, we have a lot that is too big for the upstairs fire and so it's better cut up so can be used in either fire.
Yesterday we went to post Xmas things, collect mail, buy the enormous leg of pork for Xmas dinner and came home via Yegen to pay Elena at the local builders yard for a delivery of sand that we had at the end of May! She always says it doesn't matter when she's paid and sits us down for a chat to ask about how things are, what's happening over xmas etc.

So quite an uneventful week, of course there is walking with Monty 3 times a day, checking the vegetables are ok, I've put in some garlic this week, taking stuff to the compost (how much woodash can I put in there? I'm layering with kitchen waste and leaves - is that ok?) Answers on a postcard please! Plus housework, cooking etc and so the days go by.

Next week the diary is empty until Mat comes on Friday for Xmas week, but we have no mince pies yet or decorations up, so I think we will be sorting those things out.
