The calm before the storm

It's delightful in an autumnal-sunshine way here. The leaves on the Judas tree are finer than I've ever seen them. Apparently a hurricane I'd on its way to the West Country, so I've just tidied up a few things outside. I remember 1987...

My Office 2016 book arrived today. I got the download for the Mac yesterday, but the book is 756 pages long! Perhaps I will now be able to practise what I've been learning on my IT for idiots course. I did ask the tutor if we could have a printed sheet summarising what we'd covered in the previous lesson. He replied that we could all do the 14-week course as many times as we wished!
Nooooooo!

Following on from yesterday's purchase of Kashmir chutney, I decided to use up the mincemeat left over from last Christmas, and made a Stilton and mincemeat toastie. Heaven! Oh, and I've made some enquiries and am reasonably sure that my new Christmas card stock will arrive in time for my trip to Scotland. Thank goodness for that!
