✴ December 30 2024

  ✴... Alison Krauss sings ' Get Me Through December '

coming at you from the window view of our street
and I see glistening pavement and gray
seems to be our theme background for the last few days
plus a rumbling, roaring sound was heard all night
hope your hat didn't blow off

... its been a good life
but I still ain't made my showing
all I know, is when that train whistles blowing
thatsa my song   ....   Carolyn Hester

🧶 pull a thread

 🧶 ... or don't
I believe that I am a thread puller.

the view this AM

👙 slip sliding away ....

 👙 ... on DEc 28 
my phone is announcing, 48 F today w/ light rain showers
meaning it looks grim out there
very English - y. wet and drizzly

 

🐾 what tracks .....

 🐾 .... we leave in the sands of time

just to say that we were there. 
to bring joy to the ones who follow
as those will also, mark their way
it is the way, the only way, my friends

sending to the ether

the ' boro is gray with hints of light
not expecting much 

My view from the computer 

my inspiration 

my hope

🏮 we call ....

 🏮..... December 26, Boxing Day. Origins of Boxing Day is reputedly from Ol' England.

Thus, we have Boxing Day sales even Amazon has a Boxing Day

' boro is damp ish and gray. Not frigid and certainly precipitation is possible

🎄 on Christmas day in ....

 🎄..... the morning
Alrighty. up and typing. not too early. coffee and ....

the view is white trimmed but gray ish in the main. very quiet on the street.

temperature is near freezing

so. prezzies will be later this morning

Well. I asked for and found ' Midway ' version 2022 ( ? ). I'd seen the 1980 s version numerous times. Love it

Now, plenty of clothes were in the bags under the tree, as well

Dinner was my choice. I'd seen ' Techniquely w/ Lan Lam ' on cooking a steak.

The method is termed cold sear. And I had never started a piece of meat in a cold skillet 

I bought a 2 piece package of beef tenderloin for $ 20. Each chunkette was smaller than my palm 

Crikey! That is beef. However, I told M. ... that no matter what. this was the best steak ever. 

Experiment was a gustatory success. The Metro didn't have pre - made Yorkshire pudding. I chose McCain breakfast pockets as substitute.

Turned out - smashing 

Cold pan? Really. Yes
