It's going to be breezy according to the forecast today. Not so yet - but it is dustbin collection day

It always seems to be bin day when it's windy like that - it was here yesterday, too... And then I spend hours picking litter from the garden. Well, I will when I can next see my garden!

Nothing, really... Sigh. Well, I still have one Brussels sprouts plant in the garden - don't know whether that'll survive until Christmas, though.

I didn't really notice the wind - must have happened while I was at work. But I noticed all the things blown over in my garden - and buckets going awol...

Looks great - so much potential! And hey - red currants are very useful - at least the blackbirds in my garden think so...

I buy my coffee (and some tea) from a very old and wonderful shop in Dundee, where they'll re-fill their own bags when you bring them back. So not 100% waste free, but I can use a bag at least 10 times rather than once!

I always have the Kelly kettle for emergencies - just got to make sure I always have some old newspaper in the house!

I'll try to take the day off work next year - forgot all about it this time.

I was so shocked, I decided to work from home. Brrrr, not going out in that.

Lucky you that you can do that. I really don't like snow either - not when I have to leave the house!

This year though, Lidl for some inane reason decided that their toilet roll tubes needed glazing on the inside, which made them waterproof and unable to quickly rot. I haven't noticed that yet - maybe I buy a different sort? I always go for Lidl's cheapest... Or they sell a different kind in Irelan...

Oh dear - sorry to hear this! Sure we've all done something like this in our lives...

We do NOT all look like that!

I know! But I understand the joy.
