It's Friday, it must be fish

Actually, we have fish quite frequently, because although W doesn't eat meat, he is happy to eat fish.

But today it's cod and chips from the local Chinese chippy.  Normally we have haddock but they didn't have any haddock today - the fishmongers are still on holiday, apparently.  Haddock (skinned) is what you get if you ask for "fish and chips" in any Yorkshire chippy - so that's what I was brought up on.  I still tend not to eat the skin - but Fido doesn't mind, he will happily help out with that.

The chippy was much less busy than usual, the usual customers must all be waiting on trolleys in their local Emergency Department.

W is still working his way through his Advent beers - today he is drinking the one from 4th Dec, it is "Hoptical Illusion" from the USA.  He's been keeping the empy bottles and cans, and when he eventually finishes them I think they will make a good blip!

I, of course, am on the red wine.

We've been to the charity shop today, and so the entrance hall is even clearer than this.
