We’ve just had the traditional turkey stew with dumplings. Julia made it while I was asleep in front of the TV. A good wife truly does have a price above rubies. After that we had Christmas pudding – we’ve been pacing ourselves.
Today in the shop we had quite a few customers plus a dozen parcels to send out, so it was busy enough to prevent boredom but not busy enough to be frantic.
All three of us ended up serving several times, which is a sign of reasonable customer throughput.
We also bought a collection of coins and medallions and some sovereigns, so it was lively in both directions.
I’m off to take Number Two Son to work in a minute and won’t have a lot of time when I get back (at about 11.15) so, having snoozed and eaten my way through the evening, I’m posting this quickly to keep up with the posting challenge.
I think this is day 82 of the posting challenge as I started it a few days before the haiku challenge.
Finally, for now, I’m suffering from my arthritic finger again. After following Tootlepedal’s advice to pull it and wiggle it I can report that it is considerably improved, despite the counter-intuitive nature of the treatment.
That’s all for now. See you later.
“A good wife truly does have a price above rubies.” This is true.
Julia agrees too. 🙂
I am very impressed by you following advice and even more impressed that it might have helped. I wiggle my thumb every night and I definitely think it does good. Frozen peas are good too of course.
We will be having pea soup for lunch tomorrow…
The food sounds delicious, and a very good day indeed. Glad Tootlepedal’s advice worked, too
It came back, unfortunately. I’m just about to try it again, after a day using frozen peas.
No fun!
It could be worse. 🙂
Glad you had a good day in the shop
I’m lucky my work is my hobby. 🙂
Definitely
We have a lot of turkey based meals coming up over the next couple of weeks.
Turkey soup tonight! 🙂
Turkey stew, yum! It’s good to know Mr T’s recommended arthritis balm still works a treat!
Unfortunately the artritis came back, so I reverted to a bag of peas. Tomorrow we will be having pea soup. (Today we are having turkey soup!) 🙂
Sorry about the arthritis – you have my commiserations as a fellow-sufferer 🙂
Thank you Clare. I’m fortunate that it only comes on badly for a few days a year. I’m hoping this attack will fade away in a few days. If not I’ll have to see if they will inject me in the joint again.
🙂 The injections are a little uncomfortable at the time but they bring great relief.
It is greatly improved this morning. I’m hoping to avoid the injections for as long as possible. 🙂
🙂
🙂 Knees are feeling better too, even though I hadn’t particularly noticed they were bad.
Good! 🙂

Rick has “trigger thumb”. I wonder if Tootlepedal’s cure might help?
It could do – they seem to like exercise on the internet, and there’s an exercise using rubber bands that looks good.
