Saturday.

Pleasant, but very busy Saturday. Got up early as Ann needed to make soup for lunches at Bazaar, in St. Mary's, in aid of a children's charity. Yesterday we stopped at a roadside produce stall near Wisbech and bought a head of celery. Ann made soup of this and the stock from remains of a chicken carcasse from earlier in week. I did my usual tasks of stirring and quality control (tasting and adjusting). Ann took in soup and six small Christmas cakes (about quarter size) she'd made ten days ago, at about ten a.m. The cakes were put on sale at EIGHT pounds each - and they all sold !!! I must place on record my conviction that, even at that price, they were good value for money. I went into church at about midday, had a soup lunch there, and at one p.m. joined with six other choir members in singing carols. Everyone (well, all bar the choirmaster) said afterwards how good this had sounded, and what a lovely start this had been to the festive season. Then at 2 p.m. walked round to scrabble club and enjoyed three good games. Won the middle one.
Sausage, mash, and mushrooms for supper, followed by Yorkshire pudding and treacle. since then been pottering in workshop. Must knock off now. Goodnight All.
