We had one day of very serious winter (torrential rain, wind, cool -- really worse than snow). Been sunny ever since but got down to 3C one night, unusual so close to the ocean! Missing the old lap cat who passed mid-September.
Last day of Thanksgiving leftovers, back to regular food without so much fat and carbs and gravy. Had a perfect local white port with the pie.
My allergies are so bad I actually took a Covid test last night, with the coughing, sore throat, headache and general lurgy. Negative, luckily, since I still mask when going out and have all my shots. I was prepared to phone for Paxlovid first thing this morning if need be!
Fascinating stuff about Droitwich! Money and murder.
I've only read one of Val's books, but I enjoyed it. Wishing much success for this one.
Happy Crimbo and such. I was delighted to learn that Icelandic word a few years back, because that was what we always did on Xmas Eve. We're not a bit Icelandic, but my mother usually got us books to open on the 24th; an activity kit sometimes if it wasn't a good year for books.
As my great-aunt Nettie used to say "I learned something new today, I guess I'm not ready to go yet!" The best thing she left me, along with her incredible cornflake cookie recipe.
I didn't know that about Droitwich, how fascinating!
Even more excitement to come, Alan! I’m planning a big new venture, still under wraps. But it will definitely involve Salinae further down the line…

You seem to have a family full of wonderful people, Sally.
Merry Christmas, and I wish you pleasant weather to go with the celebrations.
Anything to keep the kids quiet and out of the way on the Eve!

Go great-aunt Nettie!
