5 Things, Post #38

[usedtobeljs]

I just realized it's been a while since posting. Work and Stuff, as it so often is....

Anyway! 5 Things!

*I finished knitting a scarf for my youngest brother. Originally it was going to be a Christmas gift, but since I finished and gave a scarf to his husband in October, I probably shouldn't count it as a gift. ;)

*It is the season of tea, and now I want a new teapot for my rotation. Am trying not to buy things, but....

*Also, I have been craving mince pies for Christmas, and so I ordered them from Fortnum and Mason as part of my birthday gift. The problem is that I want them for Christmas, but I also really want them NOW, and they sit on the counter, taunting me.

*Started watching Get Back on Disney +, but I was empathizing too much with Paul trying to keep everything together while the other Beatles wanted to go elsewhere, and so I stopped. Maybe later. (Still, the 60s fashion is so pleasing to me.)

*Watching the new Covid variant with jaundiced eye. I'm supposed to be going to London in March, and damn it, I hope I still get to go.

Cheers and hugs for your week ahead!

The fashions in Get Back are wonderful. George has this pink pinstriped suit that rocks. No pun intended.

The men's fashion in Get Back is SO colourful and cool. :)

Happy Sunday!

We ordered some mince pies from Betty's and have eaten them all. I commend your self-control :)

I'm also watching the new variant with a jaundiced eye. At least people are masking up again, but we do seem to be discovering more and more cases, which isn't encouraging.

Many hugs back.

Heee, I love that you and J have eaten your mince pies. :) The difference is, of course, that you could just go to the shops or order more mince pies, while here in the US I can't! These will be my only mince pies of the year.

Hugs hugs and no more Covid.

It's so much the season of tea, and of finals. I've been heavily into Scottish Breakfast for my work tea break. Accompanied by a ginger cookie.

I was very, very old before I found out that mincemeat was not made of meat. I thought it was something like haggis in a pie shell. Needless to say, I've never had it.

Fingers so crossed for you for London in March.

Ginger cookies are the BEST.

The complicated thing is that in UK parlance "mince" is in fact hamburger, but "mince pies" are mincemeat, which is fruit. Which, OK, sure.

HUGS HUGS HUGS!

It took me a little time to get into Get Back, but then they started having good conversations with each other and I loved it.

Mince pies sound good!

I'd never had a mince pie until 2019, and then I kicked myself for not having one earlier. ;)

Cheers and hugs!

Have never had a minced pie, but I do need to order my dad a Christmas cake so maybe I'll add some to the order (if they have any left :) )

[usedtobeljs]

Mince pies are scrumptious -- fruit (with a little bit of brandy) tarts. :)

Cheers for your week!

Hooray for scarf finishing! Such a feeling of accomplishment!

Definitely tea season…especially with a cozy fire nearby (here in colder climes, I mean).

Hugs and cheers!

Hugs hugs to you, ALH!
