Today is the shortest day signalling the fact that it is winter. However, today it felt like a mild spring day, with the temperature rising to 11 degrees C with a sunny morning and an intermittent afternoon of rain and sunshine till around four. I popped into town whilst it was dry and then got caught in a shower. I headed to see Kate and give her a Xmas card and sell some books, and then looked around the chazzers before having beer and lunch at my local Spoons pub.

And now some food porn. This is what I had today -

Turkey breast with stuffing, cranberry sauce,pigs in blankets, mashed potato and seasonal veg.

Warm cookie dough with ice cream.

All totally yummy!

I woke up with the fact that I have no work now until the new year, and I felt somewhat relieved and saddened at the same time. Most of the companies I work for have tooled down for the festive season and only some are still offering visits, such as Market Force, for this period before the New Year.

A couple of cheap CD's through Amazon arrived -

Eric Dolphy - Last Date (EmArcy)
Eric Dolphy - Music Matador (Fresh Sounds)

So, I will be listening to these tonight and over the weekend.
