Tales From The Crypt - Sunday 11th December 2022

Lazy start to the day, with a big decision to make.  Make or breakfast, or go out?  It's a sunny but cold day, so the decision is a simple one - we're going to walk to the neighbourhood café for breakfast. The food and the service are always good, so I'm sure it's the right choice.

Back from a crisp and crunchy trip to and from a filling breakfast - we both had the Hood breakfast with a couple of extras washed down with a coffee. I don't we'll need lunch today.

Q has a hearing test in town after lunch so we're heading in to the 'Pool. Unfortunately, heavy traffic (exacerbated by the snow) means we are late and have to accept a later slot. This gives us an opportunity to go shopping -  and the cold weather encourages me to buy some new waterproof gloves, a waterproof warm hat and a fleece blanket.  Crazy man!

Once we get home, it's time for Q to get down to some serious baking, which includes Terry's Chocolate Orange brownies.

The dinner goes on too, once the next part of the bake-off challenge is assembled: Terry's Chocolate Orange brownie Christmas trees, fully decorated.

It's deeply distressing, but there's an excess of brownies, so I take one for the team and eat one.  Wow! It's a great combination, but I resist having more. I have some to take home to the monsters, and hopefully I'll get another.

News from home is that the new shower is leaking. Oh, joy.  Another problem to fix. 

It's so flipping cold, the only warm place is bed, so off we go.
