I tried the Whittakers brandy snap chocolate. It didn't taste of brandy snaps, but it was very reminiscent of those little bits of slightly hard bits of chocolate fudge left in the bowl after beating.
I liked it.

Lovely Santa, I react very badly to high levels of sulphates. So can't eat most dried fruit or drink most juices/ciders.
And of course my infamous and hilarious cucumber allergy 🤣

Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

I often sit on the ground, but am now an age where people are slightly concerned about that.
But I like it and I'm also old enough that if I stop I won't be able to anymore.
Weird the choices you have to make as you age.

Last night both Michael and I were home late. I'd had a long 1st field day and was knackered.
Rey was recovering at home after a busy few days of activity, but they used valuable bandwidth to cook for us all anyway. From scratch.
Amazing.
I'm still feeling grateful a day later.
