Took Mother and Mr Hairy out this morning. We all tootled along the busy shop aisles picking up cinnamon and gingerbread scented candles, clear fairy lights, gas lighter and other low in price yet priceless festive knick-knacks. We had a ball.


Then into see Joan who, despite worrying about her very ill daughter managed to do the double entendre thing with me. My...fluffy balls, metal belts and velvet peep o dresses giving her plenty of material....

We hugged then she left 'cos a taxi was waiting to take her to Tescoes, God I love Joan.


Bought today an Ambrose Bierce anthology, Read some too whilst eating blue cheese. Put fairy lights on tree.
