The morning was spent completing the clearance of paperwork prompted by our refurbishment. The last to go was documentation from my Limited Company going back two decades. Two more general cabinets to be emptied and we will be done.
This afternoon I published https://derrickjknight.com/2021/11/28/a-knights-tale-71-chinese-boxes/ Some of the illustrations to this were colour slides from the 1970s and required scanning with a little cleaning up.
We dined tonight at Lal Quilla, where I enjoyed chicken Jaljala, but Jackie unfortunately found her Lal Quilla Special rather too hot for her liking. We shared a garlic naan, sag bhaji, and pilau rice, and both drank Kingfisher. The experience was as welcoming and friendly as always.
Busy day. We did a clean out of our Christmas decorations.
I don’t like anything too hot either. 🙂
Thanks a lot, Chrissy
You’re welcome. Stay safe from that weather over there we heard about today.
Funny how things we normally eat can be occasionally too spicy. 🤔🤯
Yes. Thanks a lot, Pat

Clearing out paperwork is extremely satisfying
Too true. Thanks very much, Sheree
Sounds like some good work getting done! And then you had some fun! (Eating out!) 🙂 YAY!!!
(((HUGS))) <3 to you and Jackie! 🙂
Thank you very much, Carolyn X
It sounds like you got a reward for your hard work. Too bad Jackie’s food was too hot for her.
Yes. Thanks very much, Merril
Cheers to you for going through that paperwork. You’re on the homestretch now!
Thanks very much, JoAnna
I look at the my cabinets full of old dormant paperwork Derrick, and wonder where do I start, and how do I start !!
One drawer at a time 🙂 Thanks very much, Ivor
I’m coming to think it’s going have to be one folder at a time for me to take the paperwork–and I’ve been doing it every five years or so.
🙂
Will the same opening key fit ever draw … ??

I’m becoming more tolerant of spicy foods, but even I have my limits. I’ll accept ‘hot’ and ‘hotter,’ but ‘this is so hot I think I’m going to die’ still isn’t acceptable to me!
I haven’t met the third stage yet. Thanks very much, Linda
You cannot bear a good clear out. So satisfying!
Yes. Thanks a lot, Andrew
I love the feeling when the clear out is done, not to mention feeling very smug! I agree with Andrew it’s so satisfying.
Oh, dear, poor Jackie. I wouldn’t even have attempted it the first place – I don’t get on with mild let alone hot!
Thanks a lot, Sue
The clearing out is impressive. I need a rest when I am just thinking about cleaning up.
Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal.
I need to tackle my overflowing file cabinet. Good job!
Thanks a lot, Jill
Sounds as though you are coming down the homestretch!
Yes, thanks a lot, Laurie
Some of the best ‘clear outs’ for me have taken place under pressure of guests arriving or when looking for an item which I know we have – somewhere! I am doing things very slowly indeed, thus I salute your efficiency.
Thanks very much, Anne. It’s now or never 🙂
And all that paperwork would have been vitally important once!
Yes. Thanks a lot, John
It’s always satisfying to clear out old paperwork, IMO. I love spicy food but not so hot that it overwhelms the flavor of the food.
I agree absolutely about the flavour. It wasn’t that bad for Jackie. Thanks very much, Eugi
Sometimes going back through old paperwork can be very interesting. One last look, things remembered and finally let go of.
Absolutely. Thanks very much, Lavinia
A day of hard work and a nice dinner as a reward.
Thanks very much, Dolly
You are very welcome. Derrick.
Work, work and delicious dinner 😉
Thanks very much, Ribana
