I made a stew with dumplings, for the residents tonight and it went down a treat. I am trying to think of good things about the cold weather, and one is it seems acceptable to eat old fashioned fattening food. We have had proper oat porridge for breakfast for the last week with cream and brown sugar. D remembered she had a tiny souvenir bottle of malt whiskey from a visit to a distillery many years ago, so we solemnly added a tot to our porridge bowls. Whiskey for breakfast in a Quaker Meeting House, how shocking ! But it is OK because of sub zero temperatures. J says it is even worse in Brighton and the chidren have not been at school for days and days. When will it all end?
We had our book group planning meeting last night, it is always very exciting to have the prospect of 10 or more books to read monthly for the year though I will have left alas mid year, but I can read them anyway. The good thing about book groups is that you get to read things you would never choose yourself and I often so enjoy them (but not always)
