Saturday evening walk with Son. 😊
Cold as.
No one else out walking, unusual. Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel must be the explanation.
A wee dram and then start the levain.
Have a good evening and sleep well.

Christmas cactus is flowering, though many branches not looking the best of colour.
Had this plant longer than I can remember and feel it could do with a repotting.

Chocolate pot returns: marmalade.
New flavour for me. Works pretty well. Lidl’s Fine cut. Their plum jam is very good as well.
Supper took 90 minutes as Son not very happy about something. Very fragile. Better now.
