Is it a dog?

Some of the ingredients for carrot, orange and ginger soup tomorrow.

Have made final choices for bathroom and they have been approved by the installer.  Told me to ask for a big discount from supplier as I am getting everything from the same place.  Will do my best!

Supermarket shop today and when standing at the checkout a man about my age asked if my coat was a Christmas present as it looked new and suited me.  Long time since I had a compliment from the opposite sex.  Made my day.  (He probably says it to all the women he sees at checkouts, but who cares!)
For the record - the coat is an old one.
