Mince pies

Today 1/1/11 managed to finally make some mince pies! made the pastry yesterday--Nigella's recipe given to me by Layla and delicious they were too, with a big mug of tea!
Ruaridh played with misty for a while this morning so as the weather was still misy just took them a walk up by the river.
Phoned mum her wee party was quite a success.
Tonight we are going to watch Wallender, on BBC 4--plans thwarted as our neighbour R arrived with his two girls to wish us a Happy New Year. The girls are now growing up and they were away to the dance in the village hall. ah well also never got our dinner until 2200h as they stayed chatting until 2130 hours.
Graham made vegetables and rice for dinner lovely.
Must have fritted the evening away Blogging, blipping and started to knit Bella another hat!
To bed finished my book 'The Poisonwood Bible' very interesting book. Starting in what was the Belgian Congo in the sixties when, a Baptist man of the cloth takes his family from America there in an attempt to convert the indigenous peoples to Christianity. Goodnight!
