Hi there its ME.....late on New Year's Day, Wednesday, 1st January 2014.

And this was lunch today....see below!

What a busy day it's been, trying to tidy up after Christmas and the New Year celebrations, putting things away, making lists of cards received, presents received, to go with my given list.  My card book has lists going back for years, so I know who's been sent cards, and from whom I've received cards.

I love sending cards, keeping in touch with friends, even if it is only once a year, it's still a link and that's good.

And presents well, as they say, "absence makes the heart grow fond, presents make it fonder still!" and we all love both giving and receiving presents.

So today I made my presence felt at home, making it neat and tidy again, dusting down and emptying the washing machine, getting the dishwasher on.

Easy food to keep us going and for supper, our favourite sausages, bubble and squeak, peas and fried eggs and all naturally gluten-free -

Yummy easy peasy food!!!

And for my lunch snack, easy pork and veggie left-overs, only needing a quick microwave warm-up, to make it hot, tasty and good to eat!


We've just watched Sherlock Holmes, his first re-appearance since falling off that high building, ending up dead.....when of course, he didn't die, and now he's back again. It's a must-watch, top-favourite programme with us.  The next viewing date for him is Sunday, 5th January, which has been programmed in ...its unmissable!

As I type this, Harry Potter is defeating you-know-who - great TV again and utterly unmissable and well, I have done a great deal of ironing today, as well as everything else!!!
