Lovely to read all your messages.

So much for a peaceful Christmas. I am in here at this ungodly hour because my husband decided to get up at 6am to start slowly cooking the 11lb beef rib joint we are serving up for 14 people this afternoon. The recipe told him to sear the joint before putting it in the oven. The fat got so hot it was smoking and he set off the fire alarms!!

Not only did this wake me up, but we lived in a special community building for disabled people. If an alarm goes off it connects us to an emergency operator who speaks to us through the ceiling. So not only was the alarm sounding but some woman is hollering via a link at me. Omg, so much for peace at Christmas 😱😱😱

Oh well, it will prime me up nicely for the arrival of 7 noisy and excited grandchildren later.
