Busy day.

I'm not particularly happy at the moment - tomorrow morning we've got a very early start so that I can make it to hospital to have another scan done. I'm not expecting good news but that will come after Christmas.

We had a busy day; in the morning we went off to Tesco's to do the Christmas shop because we can't do it tomorrow.

This is one of the managers who was kind enough to let me take a photo of his spectacular Christmas suit;

We got everything (as far as we know) and made it home in one piece. I had a rest and then started on our Christmas wreath.

Here are the raw materials;

I'm afraid Robyn gave up on me over some artistic differences and I ended up doing it all myself. Last year I got a bit over enthusiastic and made a wreath so big we couldn't actually get it on the door.

It was so big it was the kind of thing they put around the neck of a horse that's just won a big race.

It was so big it was the kind of wreath that US presidents have two marines put on a stand for them and then they go up to it and pretend to adjust something - as though they were putting the finishing touch to it.

It was so big it was the kind of thing you see at the funeral of an Oil Sheikh.

I imagine you've got the picture by now, so I tried to make it a little bit smaller.

I'm not sure if I succeeded with that but I did get it done.

Now all we need is some Mistletoe........hmmmmh.

Then in the afternoon we went into Staines, so all in all I had quite a strenuous day.

Wish me luck for tomorrow - scans don't usually go well for me.

The Tesco Robin.

We were at Tesco's and Robyn spotted this;

It's the Tesco's Robin - we've seen him before but I wasn't able to get a picture of him. This time he was building up quite a group of fans;

He comes in hoping for food and because it's safe there.

There are warm places in the winter and cool ones for the summer.

I fear that when the shop realises that he's there he will be trouble but for the moment he's OK.

Warning notice!

I didn't realise I could get any more ill......I could.

Yesterday morning I couldn't actually get out of bed for a couple of hours.

Robyn has been looking after me - if I play my cards right maybe I could make this last for a month.

I don't know; no music, trapped indoors, doing nothing. It's not good.

I took this picture a week or so ago; it's a bagel bag from the Euphoria bakery at Tesco's.

 

I like that and that they employ some special people to work there - it makes for a good atmosphere.

 

 

I hope to be back in action soon.
