No room at the freezer

St Jean
Weather: At last a little milder! And no rain.

I just discovered that it is St Jean today, so I had better plan a little something for Jon's Saint's Day. I don't think I will be decorating Millie Mehari with lace ribbons and bows in the French style though!

The weather has turned a little milder. I have no idea how long this will last, having given up many moons ago on the accuracy of Mr Meteo who never seems to get anything right. Now we just look out of the window in the morning and if we can see the home of dear Mrs Veranda, then the weather must be OK. If it is all white between here and there then it's cold and if we can't see it, then it must be foggy. Et voila!

I made the mistake of going shopping this morning. Just for a few bits and pieces, nothing too desperate, but there were lots of special offers on that were too good to resist so the freezer is now fit to bust again - and there are various ingredients waiting to be cooked ready for the Reveillon (New Year's Eve to you) and our visitors arriving on 2 January.

I also restocked on birdfood again since the greedy little blighters have finished up everything we had. A few weeks ago we met someone who complained that since his wife started feeding the birds he was now spending an extortionate amount of his meagre pension on bird seed. We'll have to look out or we'll be in the same boat.

That will be my mother's fault of course, she suggested it would be nice to have a little bird table in the fig tree.

Jon has spent the morning finishing the redecoration of the bathroom which now looks clean and shining again with no signs of condensation or the resulting muck that goes along with it. Long may it last.

Next job .......? Don't know just yet, there are too many to choose from.
