“If you look for perfection, you'll never be content.”
Good Morning World...Mon 16th, 5.32, -2.0dg. Yesterday I spent shovelling snow from paths and trying to remove the worst of the icy patches where cars and feet had been. We had fresh flurries Saturday afternoon and it was snowing lightly as I went to bed Saturday night. Cannot have snowed for long as there were no snow ploughs banging along the road in the early hours of yesterday. I finally unpacked, washed, folded and put away through the day.. the ironing can take a number and stand in line!! Do have to admit to watching the FIS racing from St Moritz and Val d"Isere on and off, funnily enough, not giving me itchy feet as yet. Yesterday afternoon I wandered up to the Christmas Market in the square and did a few little things and then went into the Advent concert for the Schruns Musik Schule. A lovely hour and a half of all ages and all levels of musicality. Today Klaudia and I are going to town... Then it is skates on and concentrating... later I will hopefully be able to get on with tempering chocolate to make small chocolate cases to fill with cherries and spiced cream for the Christmas table. Have all the ingredients for the Glühwein, so will start the mix to let it think. Fruit mince smells beautifully of all good things and brandy, so next on make list is the pastry for the fruit mince pies. Shortbread already in the freezer, then I have a selection of traditional biscuits to make for my neighbours, dates to fill with marzipan, Chickens to bone, stuff, roll and freeze ready for 25th, leg of lamb... New Zealand lamb of course... to buy in preparation. With so many in the house over Christmas have decided to have plenty of "already dones" to cater for hungry teenagers. Menu sorted, bubbles in wine fridge downstairs, just some reds to buy for those who drink red. Ticking the list off.. just have to plan the table decorations. Drool of the day perhaps for these little strawberry fantasies.. I think they would look cute on the table. Am I looking for perfection... of course this is me !!!
