It looked grey and gloomy this morning. Later, when I was in town there was quite a bit of sunshine but as I got to the crest of the hill overlooking Borth and across the bog to the mountains I could see the haze of a damp mist covering the whole area.
A pair of blue tits came to feed on the insects in the hedge at the bottom of the garden this morning. Perhaps I should think about a bird feeder for them now that we don't have a cat. (I haven't ruled out getting another cat but not while we're going off on three week holidays.)
I got to town at 10.00 this morning which was a bit later than I had planned but although the roads and shops were busy it wasn't too bad. I got everything on my list including the free-range chicken and didn't try and go in any of the charity shops.
I got back in reasonable time and then had fun and games trying to fit everything in the fridge. You couldn't fit another thing in there now. In case of emergency I have a clean storage tub with lid sitting in the cold garage for overflow food storage.
Then it was back to the schedule, my study is now a guest bedroom, the ironing has been done and everything is tidy. While I was out Pete had cleaned the bathroom and done the hoovering and then he went off to discuss RNLI shop matters and rowing club stuff with his mate Dave. That means that all I have to do tomorrow is prepare our traditional Christmas Eve meal which is mainly cold dishes.
A few more photos from Sunday's walk.
Turkey tail fungi. It is reputed to have medicinal uses but is currently banned in the UK as it wasn't generally eaten in the past.
My dream restoration project needs a bit of work.
With family coming to stay tomorrow I may not get a chance to blog for a while. So see you on the other side.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas.
