Cosy. We are freshly showered and in dry clothes, the fireplace is flickering, and the oven is sending out tantalizing whiffs of roast beef. The brussels sprouts have added to the atmosphere, the yorkshire pudding batter is coming back to room temperature and the mashed potatoes are ready to be microwaved. A bottle of bubbles is cooling in the fridge.
I woke up this morning to the sound of pouring rain on the roof - ugh - rolled over and went back to sleep until almost 10am. I had to drag the dogs out of the door as the remnants of hurricane Nate was still coming down at a furious rate…
Normally a rainy day is just an excuse to stay inside and read, but today was moving day so we had no choice but to get soaked. Carm was out in a tshirt but I was smart and wore a raincoat. Did I say raincoat? Right. More like a rain sponge. Needless to say we were both soaked to the skin by the time we got underway.
Lucky for us the rain let up when we got to our new digs so we were able to set up without getting more soaked (was that even possible?). And that brings us to now - cosy and warm with a delicious supper in the oven. Lots to be thankful for.
a little while later - our tummies are full, the leftovers are packed into the fridge and the dishes are done. Time to settle into a movie or other mindless TV (please no more CNN)...
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
