Oh Jem, our day was perfect. I did the 2 ducks and they turned out beautifully. The rest of the dinner was the same, everything just right. Everyone was hungry enough so there are a few leftovers, but not much. It’s been a rather lazy day, as most of the prep was done yesterday.
I’m off to dreamland. Everyone stay warm and safe. Those of us south of the snow line, stay cool and safe. Sleep well everyone.
Good morning!
I can report that in my case the VapoRub on the feet was a 100% failure. The congestion in the chest is worse and I’ve begun coughing phelm. There is a slight dripping in the ears which is telling me that I’m going to be worse before I get better.
I did not sleep through the night but I did manage to total an entire night’s sleep. I’m not up yet. The laptop has made this “blogger in pajamas” into a “blogger in pajamas while still in bed”.
I’m going back to my standard remedies today. If the temps get high enough, though, I’m going to do some yard work. This is a great time of year to remove vines and other pesky persistent weeds. Also, LionsDaughter gave me two azalea bushes, the ENCORE variety, so I need to put those in the ground.
For those who are wondering, the Encore variety blooms at various times throughout the year ending only when there is a succession of hard frosts. By planting this variety, I’ll be having azalea blooms whenever I come home.
I also need about 200 more white pine or loblolly pine. Another wonderful present for me would be osmanthus frangrans (tea olive), rhododendron and camillias.
