Brrrr..

Didn't go out today, because we have been out a bit already this week. Stayed in and did floors, only to discover that we had run out of floor cleaner..isn't that the way. So Vt went down to our local shop and came back with a bottle of "Stardrops". He said the woman in rthe shop was actually cleaning her own floor with it,and she said don't be put off by the smell it leaves your floor nice and fresh. Too true, it smells a bit like Dettol, but is clean smelling anyway. I can remember my Mum using Stardrops..what on old fashioned name..sort of smacks of the fifties . You can imagine the advert with the curly haired housewife in he apron with the mop and bucket of Stardrops cleaner...Aaah nostalgia..
Our morning chat today, amongst other things was about King Wenceslas!!! Why King Wenceslas..well VT had been reading an article about him last night before going to sleep. Written by The Archbis of Canterbury, it was headed what the story of King wenceslas could teach the Coalition about poverty. Just what the Archbish of Canterbury knows about poverty beats me but still...we ended up talking about King W. I ended up singing the refrain, consequently I can't get it out of my head now.

Cup of coffee and a cow biscuit in the morning and a chat..good way to start to the day.
Ventured out to do the front door brasses this morning..when we come in you notice they need doing, then you get in and unpack shopping etc.m, and forget them, so went and did them today. I have a brass letterbox, and a key plate, and a plaque with the house name on it, and it is surprising how quickly they get tarnished. they do look good when they are done though.
VT went and let the little cat next door out when he went for the poaper, but it didn't stay out for long it was too cold. Mind you our two aren't out for long, they go out and come straight back in again.
Tonight we are having:
Cheesey garlic kiev
Mixed vegetables
Baked potatoes..
