I went to Tesco at half six yesterday morning. I had no trouble parking then!! I got the turkey, stuffing and some cranberry sauce, so if everything goes t**s up I can cobble together some semblance of a Christmas dinner!
The tree is done, the outside lights are up and running, there is a small tree on my merchant's chest in the hallway and a wreath on the front door.
Altogether now...♫♪♪ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......♫♫♪ t07010
Today is my "tricky" day. I've got the hairdresser at 9am and then a quick dash to M&S to collect the last couple of presents before heading to the office. Will it be the quick dash I'm hoping for ... or not. The presents are ordered and waiting for collection so I should be lucky.
Then tomorrow its an 8am dash for the bird and the final few bits like fresh cream.
This is a nice cocktail with ingredients a lot will have this time year...
Red Kiss
1 measure dry vermouth 1/2 measure gin 1/2 measure cherry brandy Put 3 cracked ice cubes in a mixing glass, add the ingredients, stir well and strain into a cocktail glass.
Decorate with a lemon spiral and a cocktail cherry.
Well where's this Christmas crush?! I drive straight into the cat park at 10.20 and got a space on the ground floor. No queue at the collection point in M&S and no queue at the checkout either. I'm now sat in the cafe doing a couple of emails and am surrounded by empty chairs. Office next stop.
When we had a really hot summer a few years I use to go at around 3-4am because I couldn't sleep. I was fascinated by the hive of activity going on stacking shelves etc. You had to weave in and out of of large metal trolleys and staff pulling out old stock to fill behind it. It wasn't a good time to shop really lol!
