The fella working in the train shop (in coach C) just came on the tannoy to announce that it’s now open. He started with a very cheery “morning buttercups!”, which made me smile. Thanks nice man.

Happily bagged bargain train tickets for the next few weeks so my commute costs are slashed. Yay! Funny how lower fares encourages more travel, isn’t it.

This feels very void-shouty. Wonder when I’ll give up! 😂

The landlord at a pub I worked in when I was at uni, once told me I didn’t mop the floor with enough effort. I still don’t understand. The floor was clean, done quickly and efficiently. How was I supposed to make more effort, what did he want? Clean it with sweat and tears?

A nice thing about this weather is the ice cold water from the tap without having to run it for a while. Lovely.

Most of the leftovers are eaten/repurposed now. But what do I do with the brandy sauce that I forgot to serve with the Christmas pud? Everyone was too excited about the custard.
Brandy sauce ideas anyone?

I love that someone thought to be helpful to people wanting to catch a bus on Boxing Day.

This is the face of a woman of a certain age who dropped her practically perfect parsnips on the floor. Luckily she had backup spare parsnips to re-roast.

Just listened to @k8lister.bsky.social with the wonderful Miriam Margolyes talking about all things Dickens on Betwixt The Sheets. Excellent spud peeling entertainment. 10/10. Would recommend!

A few years ago the @commsunplugged.bsky.social crew jumped on the #jolabokaflod train and it’s now one of my favourite festive season activities! Always a surprise, it’s so joyful.

Yesterday was my birthday. I had a lovely massage and spa morning and very nice meal out. Today I almost knocked myself out on the corner of the washing machine.
