It’s my husbands birthday. He’s working a 12 hour shift out of town so he will be home late. I’m making potatoes Romanoff and debating on a nice prime rib roast. I’ll go see what they have at the grocery store then decide. I already have a tenderloin beef roast thawing for NYE so having beef tonight may be too much in one week! But it’s hubby’s birthday and I like to do as much as I would if his birthday was another month so he doesn’t feel ripped off.

Not sure what to do for dessert. Maybe I’ll pick something out at a local bakery.

Prim rib sounds delicious. I can still recall the tenderness of the last one I had.
 

When I went on a short early walk this morning around 6:40,it was 28 ,refreshing with no wind
Mary&I are going on our last 'road trip' for 2020, Walgreens,need a couple items
Our 1st 'road trip' this yr was to Walgreens,a perfect way to end the yr by going there
I have no other plans today,weather permitting take afternoon walk,read NYT,my book
Tonight watch another college football game on ESPN
 
I did my normal Wednesday chores, refilled the bird feeders, and am washing a load of dark clothes. The wife is going to fix beef stir fry tonight and my appetite will be primed for it.

I see that our stimulus checks will be deposited in a few days so I handed out some $20's to the folks who came and did our yard work today. I will try to catch the trash pickup guys when they come through. Too many people are way underpaid these days.
 
A sure sign of aging:
After 2 hours of shivering, I had an idea: I figured I'd just get out one of my space heaters, plug it into the den & just sit in front of it until the power comes back on.
I was halfway down the stairs when I realized.......... 😂

Ever do something like that?
 
It is a cool rainy day here, so I am going to finally break out the ironing board and iron my kakis and a couple of shirts. I might as well start 2021 with creased pants, .... if that will make a difference.

I did catch up with the garbage collectors this morning and gave them all a $20 bill, which I gather doesn't happen nearly as often as it should.

My wife is defrosting the freezer and making "lucky" soup (black-eyed peas and collard greens). We are going to eat a lot of it as 2021 needs all the help it can get.

I hear the recycling truck up the street and if I hurry, I can tip them as well.
Done, mission accomplished! It feels good to show some appreciation.
 
Today we did the supermarket shopping to fill the freezers.. they only needed topping up. Went to Aldi for the bread because they do the nicest Malt loaf, and then decided instead of going to our usual chain supermarket we'd just do all the shopping there..

Drove over to my dd's house.. to take some stuff for her, and see her on the last day of the year.. we stayed only an hour because fog was thickening ..
11pm tonight and we leave the European Union (EU) after almost 50 years... no-one can celebrate outdoors, (not groups allowed) either New Years Eve, or the end of our alliance with the EU.. which I'm sure many would love to do... perhaps a few fireworks will be let off in people's gardens.. so it's likely to be the quietest NYE the UK has ever known

😲 I didn't know the UK was leaving the EU on January 1st, @hollydolly . Good luck with that and happy new year to you and yours! 🥂

not jan 1st... PB... tonight 31st December 11pm 3 hours from now ( I'm just being a tad pedantic) ..... the trouble is no-one under 55 can really remember a life outside of Europe.. but I can and everyone my age and older , I was 20 years old when we joined..in '75... so I remember very well what it was like being an Independent sovereignty .. and I'm very happy to be going back to it... I'm sure there will be bumps along the way, but they'll be dealt with just like everything we deal with I'm sure ..

Thanks PB for the New year wishes.. same to you and yours and lets hope that our wishes bring hope, and a better life in 2021... :love:

Now We have to clean our own place, make a pot of good soup (anyone have any tried and true recipes they want to share??? 😊

I have an excellent recipe....throw in bits and pieces of meat, chicken, whatever with whatever is left in veggies, add some broth, a can of beans, type don't matter, simmer and stir....sometimes it turns out good, sometimes it turns out great
 
Work starts at 11:30 am. There is a winter storm warning for the commute back home. The Program Manager put me in charge of clearing and redesigning a large wall-hung corkboard. I have to discard outdated material and post new and relevant information.
