Rain stopped play

[flick]

Or at least, rain stopped riding lesson and meant that the horses only got a couple of hours in the stableyard, rather than going in the field.

To make up for it, I've been busy with Christmas-ish things.

I decanted the sloe gin:

(Good year for sloes, unlike last.)

Then as I'd done that I thought I may as well put some of the sloe gin, and a last few other bits, into the hampers and, then I thought I may as well box them up ready for couriering off. Then I thought I may as well get the other courier stuff ready, and if I was doing some Christmas wrapping then I may as well do all of it while I was at it.

Then I thought I'd take advantage of the Aga being hot, so I made sausage rolls and a cake for the Medium Quilt Club Christmas do.

Then Mike had a migraine, so I had to get my own tea.

And now I'm a bit tired!

I'm not surprised!! I'm tired too, just reading it (or possibly the fact I was up until gone 11.30 last night chocolate coating lebkuchen has something to do with that....)

Mmm... lebkuchen!

[oreouk]

They are nom. I recklessly made a double batch of the recipe, not expecting quite how many it would make. Though it was just as well I did because one batch got overcooked due to the time on my oven being wonky.

"And now I'm a bit tired!"

It was getting your own tea that did it....

I hope Mike's migraine didn't last long.

I'm sure that was what did it!

He's fine now, they just leave him very tired and funny about what he can eat.
