KAtie, I have been talking to several ex farmer at Probus. They all say Xmas was always difficult as it was their busiest time of the year. Hang in there.
Gym and more Apricot Jam. Have to get the cooking done as heatwave Sunday and Monday.

I had my podiatrist appointment yesterday! My on going foot issues with a very persistent wart that may involve being cut out as we have tried everything else . Now recommending to have vitamin supplements like for immune support.. oh dear not great on taking lots of multivitamins. Did a little Xmas shopping.. just have lost my mojo for this and well everything really. Meanwhile DD is having a great time in Japan and also days skiing in powder snow . So happy for her . DH DS have had long days and contractors as well , strange to be harvesting canola and oats at the same time . There was 2t to 3 semis taking the canola out the last four mornings .

No I’ve never done that Marina. If I get cheap tomatoes I usually cook them down in the thermomix with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and use them as passata.

They look delicious Mab. It’s been too hot to cook.

I've made more shortbread again this morning.  Sugar & Spice Shortbread from the annoyed tyhroid and plain ones from create make and bake.
