1) The cold weather finally arrived and with it, the sunshine. I love days like this, I just wish that it didn’t get dark so early and that I didn’t have to spend the day in the office.

2) My brother has a birthday on Monday, I need to buy him a card, I might (for the first time in ages) try and find one that isn’t about how old men are bald, then again isn’t that what annoying, older sisters are for?

3) I’ve just finished reading The American Way of Eating by Tracie McMillan and I’ll talk about it a bit more in the ‘What I’ve Read’ post at the end of the month but it was fascinating and scary and even though things work slightly differently here, it has changed how I think about supermarkets and I really want to grow food again and am really sad that the waiting list for the allotments around the corner is 4 to 5 years!

4) OXO Bar tonight. Ma has set a strict 3 drink limit, as I do have to work tomorrow and she is getting on and can’t drink like she used to! Actually, 3 is the sweet spot any more and the next morning I’m hanging and eating all the carbs as opposed to just my Friday treat of pain au raisin from Papillon! (Look, bribing myself with treats is the only way I get through the week!)
