It’s a soup and rugby kind of day. The weather is rather miserable today, wet and drizzly, and the hills are playing hide and seek all day with the low lying clouds. Now you see them – now you don’t. And there is no trace of the much higher hills at the back – although we are sure they are still there. The saving grace is that it’s not freezing cold, the temperatures have not dropped too low. We can cope with that, tucked up snug and warm at home.

It is mid winter after all, and just a few days away from celebrating the shortest day. No wonder soup was on the menu for lunch, bacon bones, split peas and plenty of vegetables, simmered away in the crock pot (slow cooker). What could be nicer?

Robin will be settling down in front of the TV shortly for an evening of rugby, no doubt with a beer in hand. The Welsh Rugby team are travelling New Zealand on a four match tour, and are playing in Wellington tonight. That should keep him happily occupied for a while.

That sounds similar to here. It is raining, but not freezing cold and Australia played the UK in rugby last night. We won't discuss the result. :(
