Mace Note
Authored
- Ding dong, the mace is gone! ♪♪♫
- We’re using up our older spices which aren’t in pleasing Sainsbury’s or Spice Mountain containers. This week we finished the mace. It was a banana bread that accommodated the last teaspoon. So 2020.
- Flat hunting for a new city which is under tier 3 restrictions, from a city across the country under tier 2 soon to be 3 restrictions, a couple of weeks before Christmas, with enough furniture to be a burden but not to be useful, in a hurry, with a person (myself!) who sweats the details of an ice cube tray purchase, is a tad all consuming. We might have to ease up and bide our time.
- Beep boop. I am Lee’s sleep tracker. Boop beep. Processing sleep pattern. Boop... Boop... Boop... Failed to retrieve sleep data. Boop. Beep. Analysis: broken. You are broken. Beep. Boop.
- In happier news, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. I sent out some Christmas cards and I really should be embarrassed at my handwriting, it'll be a surprise to me if anyone can read them but it's the thought that counts.
- R cut some wrapping paper too short and used the diagonal wrapping method to make it work successfully, you're welcome dear reader!
- The present is part of a gift bag which includes “Lee’s Christmas chutney”. It’s true I made it but the recipe is Mary Berry’s Christmas chutney. What a fraud. Hope you don’t mind my taking all the credit Mary! It's a very good recipe.
- We visited friends last weekend for a socially distanced walk outside the city. There was a lot of mud about, which added a perilous excitement, but the sun was out and shining bright. We paused by a graveyard bench to exchange gifts and eat Pret Christmas sandwiches — followed by frangipane mince pies, as is the tradition I am now merrily a part. 🙌🎄🥪
- Tonight we'll be Zoom socialising. Bring on the FaceTime festivities! Until next time friend.
