Sounds promising. If you're feeling thrifty (and short on time), you can buy your 'ingredients' from the one-stop shop, use their heat-up-a-burger microwave, and you should be steamin' by the time you've entered your pin number..

Blimey I oh !


Quick stock take chez Curtain:


Manzanilla (open, but full-ish)


Sainsbo's Amarillo Sherry


1.5lt of Lambrusco Red wine (unopened-gift from the 12-step AA lady down the road)


Various Ciders


In the freezer i've stashed a chunk of belly pork & a load of proper sausages.



I'm well happy now !

Finished the last of the Christmas cake and the sweet sherry a few days back.


None of the chocolates etc lasted much beyond Christmas week :))


Stella went long ago, as did all the leftover white wine,fizzy wine, rum and brandy.


Still got a bottle of dry sherry, ginger wine, several bottles of red and a bottle of gin.


Oh, and about a stone of unwanted flab :))

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
