Heavy rain overnight leaving the day dry but cold and overcast.
Right mix of a day, hair cut first thing then town for a spot of Christmas Shopping. Bumped into Viv who I had not seen for about fifteen years. Back in the eighties/nineties Viv was my Friday night Snooker Mate. Needless to say there was more talking than shopping carried out this afternoon. Have agreed to meet after Christmas to reminisce in more detail!
Wrapped a few goodies late afternoon before eating at The Cunning Man early evening. Then back home for an evening in front of the Wood Burning Stove.

Thursday 6th December 2012
After a hard overnight frost the day remained cold but dry.
Spent insane amount of money at Henry Street on a rust proof Bird Feeding Station and 6 rust proof Feeders. Look forward to assembly now but may take the opportunity to re-site?
Rest of the day working on the woodland path, looking really good now. Can't wait to finish, reckon another four days work. Probably after Christmas now.

After hard overnight frost the day was dry, bright and sunny.
Shopping and Care Visit sort of day so nothing to report! Contrast to the last couple of days.

A cold, showery day.
Day spent at Harrods Christmas Shopping. One of the worst experiences of my life. I am clearly in the minority as was a packed store. How can the costs be justified, high business Council Rate no doubt.
Two cups coffee & two Lasagna £70....
Tomorrow a trip to Chester, Christmas Shopping at the Market. More up my street!

After another hard overnight frost the day was bright but cold.
Day spent on the Woodland Path, interrupted by the decking catching fire. Took a full water butt of water to put out. Thankfully looked worse than it looked, lucky I was there in the first instance. Will have to enlarge the fire pit to cut out the damage and line with fire bricks. Path looks good however! Pictures on FB.

After very hard overnight frost the rest of the day was bright but cold.
Day spent at the Joneses, enjoyable afternoon at Panto in Newbury. Cinderella was the show this year, almost a disaster when Maria (one of the ugly sisters) fell down the stairs. Wig and shoes went flying. Clearly shaken she (he) with the help of Tia managed to keep going. Very funny but could have been a lot worse and less funny.
Evening complete by a brilliant Curry made by nine year old Holly with a little help from Dadsy.
Good News & sadly Bad News.
Brilliant news from Doug and Anna. Now proud parents after Anna gave birth to Ben late this afternoon. Can't wait to visit, still wish they lived next door bar one. Congratulations.
Bad news about David (Julian's Father). His Kidneys have stopped working and is now on Dialysis
three times a week. Thoughts are with David, Carol and the Family.
