It did cross my mind whilst I was back home to bring some seeds out with me, not specifically Sprouts. I seem to remember my mother saying Sprouts need a frost to be at their best and have the right taste, not sure if this is a myth to true, but we certainly don't have a frost where I am.

Sprouts are really slow growing. Plant them now and they should be ready for next Christmas.

It's not a myth btw, waiting until after a frost before harvesting makes them taste extra sprouty.

It'll be my first Christmas without mom
I've requested to work, it'll be weird enough being alone/not having her around. It was her favourite holiday, she'd even dress the cat.
Poor fella accepted everything tho, pretty sure his street cred took a beating tho

It's been 4,5 months now, but it's been roughter the last couple of weeks, thought I was past the worst.
Can still reach for the phone as a reflex to call and ask for advice on something

Plenty of friends that have offered "a seat at the table", but I'll keep for myself, bit tiresome to keep up a somewhat satisfied facade.


Hopefully she'll be able to celebrate it with Homer (the chubby cat) at a better place <rose>

Photo from HDM of drinkers in Hull pubs. People dressed like that should be told to **** off and go to Leeds for a pint.

Just called in Hammonds Food Hall looking for a last minute present. The only other person in the place was a security guard. Doesn't look good, and erm, Paul Adams furniture store is closing down. Merry Christmas.

Aye we were in the other day and it was uninspiring, and very quiet.
I was in Paul Adams similar time last year and could have sworn they said they were going to close then. Might have a nosey in because they have some decent stuff there
