January 1
Gloomy yet again. I think the sun has fucked off somewhere else. It was freezing rain later in the evening so that was nice.
I made a lemon meringue pie for dessert. I bought the crust 'cuz I was feeling lazy but I was not impressed with it. I don't know if Tenderflake changed their recipe but this crust was not the same as it used to be. I will try remember this the next time I can't be bothered with homemade crust. I do make the pie filling from scratch though even though it takes 5hours about 1/2 an hour. I started doing this a few years ago when Himself's uncle was dying and he went to visit him. The man's favourite pie was lemon meringue but no one would ever make it for him. I decided a dying man should have some of his favourite pie (although he was probably past eating at this point) but I didn't have one of those Shiriff mixes so I had to pull out the recipe books. Turns out, it tastes better than the mix.
I replaced my calendars, filling in my loved ones' birthdays and our summer holidays. But that was all I could fill in because there are no appointments to go to right now because, you know, lock-down but maybe for February.
Normally, we would have gone out for a nice dinner but not this year because, well you know. We ordered in Chinese because I refused to cook another big meal and Luddite Granny hasn't had Chinese for years so everyone was happy. And there were enough left-overs to keep LG in suppers for a few days.
January 2
No sun again.
Not much on the agenda for today. I'm doing yet more wash. Isn't there some Greek or Roman myth about someone who has to push a rock up a hill and as soon as he does it rolls right back down? Somedays, I feel like that guy.
Another board game for tonight. This time it'll be Ticket to Ride". The excitement never ends here chez Trout.
Back tomorrow.
Stay sane
