I don't normally get involved in such internet games, but given I am listening to all the Blackfield albums today...

"Fuck you all, fuck you. I don't care, I don't care anymore. Go to Hell." (repeat these 3 phrases as appropriate until song ends).

Today in Puggle's Crafty Corner.

One of these will be hung off each dining chair on Christmas Day when we have guests for dinner. This is me using up salt dough shapes I had left over from the garland. I've still got more to use somehow.

Oooooh a Kenwood food mixer *half price* at John Lewis (also a good looking Bosch one for similar price). Wonder if P can be persuaded.

I'm sure it would improve my cake and bread baking 😂

The only pre-made Christmas food we'll have this year will probably be the limoncello panettone I got the other day, a jar of mincemeat (which we'll bulk up) and some pigs in blankets. Otherwise, it'll be the usual meat, dairy, fruit, veg and lots of homemade stuff.

Today's Lolawalk. The hat has made its first appearance of the season.

I've given in and put the summer quilt on the bed. It is mid-November after all.

I never join in these things but there's a song by Diamanda Galas from the Schrei X album that was my first thought. Its title? Rearrange the following letters to find out: NUTC

Fungi on today's Lolawalk. It was approx 6" in height. No idea of variety.

There's a "thing" going round here saying "post the oldest selfie on your phone".

1. Why?
2. Do some of you not clear your phone gallery storage? The oldest photo of any variety in my phone gallery is currently 1 day. Its rarely over 1 month.

Today I shall mainly be enjoying Autumn In The Neighbourhood.

Tonight we're having pan fried rosemary citrus chicken with braised lentils and rocket salad again. Only not really because I'm replacing the chicken with halloumi.

We've never watched The Traitors. Thought we'd give the Celebrity version a go.

Am I enjoying it? Sort of. Enough to watch.

Its overly long and messy. Too much fake tension building and reality tv stylings. Episodes could be much shorter.

Nice staging. Interesting challenges.

Love Claudia.

I was commissioned to make a birthday cake for the husband of a member of the local Townswomen's Guild. Look away if you don't like lemons 😂

2 x 8" lemon sponges with a lemon syrup soak. Limoncello mascarpone cream and lemon curd as both filling and frosting.

Pebworth bellpads finished.
Lemon drizzle sponges out of the oven and cooling.
Coffee and lunch (toast using homemade bread topped with homemade mixed mushroom paté).
John Lees' Barclay James Harvest on the stereo.
An afternoon to myself in the house.

Not a bad old day.

In other news, today I have:

1. Had an eye test.
2. Ordered 3 new pairs of spectacles.
3. Managed to get one of a limited edition of 50 watches made by Marloe as a collaboration with @psbhq.bsky.social

My credit card is groaning.

@skullsandsheets.bsky.social have you seen this?
Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.

It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

Who do I complain to?

The BBC have just broadcast a whole news programme without mentioning the frog faced fash and his Deformed colleagues as well as the orange shitgibbon.

Surely this can't be right.
