muurankerMerry Jinglemass!!!
The usual festivity-trinity of bad stuff has happened, and it's been very mild and not at all inconvenient.
Last night we discovered the packet of five sea bass 'can be separated' 'in useful tray' from Lidl turned out to be easily separated once defrosted. Or from the tray. Result: we have two cooked sea bass in the fridge which I wasn't expecting to defrost/eat until the new year. The menu planning bent I'm on is taking a bit of a knock: sea bass will have to replace meatballs tomorrow. The fish were delicious - and Broggy is One Happy Cat about the heads tails and and so forth.
The corkscrew broke last night. The corkscrew. Fortunately, we have been given three bottles of cider, a bottle of wine with a screw cap, and ExMemSec has (due to the Secret Santa manager not recalling what she'd told who) two bottles of Plymouth Gin. Also we have a bottle of sherry (technically now half a bottle of sherry). And four bottles of sparkling South African wine. We'll manage somehow ....
Third misadventure: ExMemSec's new memory stick got washed and dried (economy low temp). Fortunately that still works.
All very minor things to go wrong! And now we have the most gorgeous sunset to look at.:
Time to get that goose a-broiling ....
