1 teaspoon each cinnamon & ginger.
1/2 teaspoon mace
25g vegetable suet
100g plain flour
Grated rind of an orange and a lemon - squeeze the juice into a measuring jug.
2 eggs
200ml liquid - the juice, brandy and water
 
Today is the 28th November. For the first time ever, my scrapbook is upto date writing wise!

It's taken me 8 months to do 5 years worth of scrapbook but I've done it! Granted I haven't yet done Nov as anything could happen in the last 3 days of this month but to be in the position of being up to Nov 2020 in Nov 2020.... I'm in shock!

Can we see?

I’m happy because Toffee always comes to greet me when I pop outside. And he’s now the loudest wheeker out of the two. I’m also happy because they’re all happy living outside. I do still miss them though 😢

My husband is going through a bag of letters that was in the loft and found this! It’s a letter my (most likely) paternal grandma wrote me. :wub::wub: Planning to laminate and also use as a sticker in my journal.

How lovely to find a letter from your Grandma and in your own native language too!

I have successfully bonded my three remaining girlies Betsy, Meg and Patsy. This has made me happy as no piggy will be on her own now.

I'm so glad your girls have bonded @Betsy you've had such a rough time lately with poorly piggies then losing your handsome boars... I hope your newly formed girly gang know they are under strict instructions to stay healthy and stay friends and not be worrying their mummy! X

They certainly are @PigglePuggle!
 
Spending the day being productive with odd jobs. I've already fixed the gate catch (will need sorting properly but this will sort it tenporarily), oiled the locks, glued a photo frame back together.... all before 12. Probably means something will go wrong now!
 
You've had a more productive morning than me then! I've been into town to take some stuff to the Charity Shop and buy some apples and onions and made a Christmas cake!
 
I read to the class this afternoon (were on BFG at the moment). They seem to hang on my words when I’m reading which I’m really pleased about. I also did a bingo game with them using nouns. They enjoyed that as well but we had to stop so they could get ready to go home!
 
I overslept and missed the appointment I was meant to have at 7am this morning (don't ask), and even though I was told in advance it'd be fine I was kind of nervous about ringing up to reschedule because, uh, GP and that. PLUS I had to wait for a half hour for someone to answer the phone (that's not meant as a complaint because they're dealing with staff shortages and everything else, it's just 30 minutes where you can't do anything else).

Apparently my GP change went ahead on Tuesday so their computer had removed the appointment from their system. It's not often sleeping in saves you a load of hassle...
 
Just had a surprise drop by. I’m treasurer for two churches in a local benefice. One of the ladies who looks after the grounds of one church just dropped off a decoration and card with another small decoration in. It was so unexpected but made me so happy ☺️
I’ve put it over our wedding photo for now. I don’t want to put it outside and get it wet! 🙄😏B5A553EF-8FE7-49A4-8418-03CCF61B1F7F.webp
 
I'm happy that my overwhelming pre-Christmas workload looks to be easing off a bit! But the main source of happiness today is the delivery of the piggies Christmas gifts:

Well yes it is of course the exclusive Rosewood Christmas Pudding Snuggle Bed!
And of course I bought 3, 1 for Ollie and Tallulah and 2 for the main herd. Going to find my Christmas fleecy tunnels too and on Sunday cage cleans the piggies will be going all festive! :)
