elaine and sam dresing our turkeys in the freezing cold.
(photo: mrs.perou)
the turkey we're keeping for christmas this year is a 26lb stag (fat bastard)
this is the third year we've had turkeys (i think) and fortunately elaine comes by each year to get them ready for the oven.
today i took maximum to tescos to do our christmas food shop.
it was an excercise in staying calm under pressure.
often, i freak out in the middle of panic buying hordes.
too many people buying shit tips me over the edge.
but i went with the right frame of mind and it was all fine.
i was wearing my beanie hat like dappy from n-dubs and weirdly, looking like pappa smurf kept getting old ladies asking me questions meant for employees of a supermarket.
'can you tell me where i can find bread sauce?'
''no luv: do i really look like i work here?"
left tescos £338 poorer.
this is an all time low for me.
