We’re both off work now and Julia has gone shopping for the bits she forgot to tell me to add to the list yesterday.
Good luck to any of my readers in a similar position – I had to try two supermarkets yesterday before I could find a parking space. Hopefully it will be quieter today, though there may not be any food left.
Happy Christmas – I’ve been a bit erratic with my Christmas Greetings, so will put it here so nobody is left out.
Now, fuelled by porridge, I am off to get her engagement ring from the jewellers. She insists on wearing it for work and finally managed to lose a diamond. A new diamond and re-tipping all the claws is coming in at £150, which is nearly as much as the ring cost originally.
It wasn’t an overly expensive ring, as my mother told me several times But as I said, expensive rings are for love-struck teenagers and millionaires. I’m a practical man, and got her to pay half, so it was quite economical. Now that we’ve been married for thirty years hindsight indicates I could have spent more, but you never know at the time…
Went for a blood test this morning, was second in the queue and, when I tried to get out of the car park, used the wrong ticket. The one for the car park was in my shirt pocket but the one I tried to use was on the passenger seat and turned out to be ineffective. Oh, how I laughed after three abortive attempts to leave the car park.
New Year Resolution – clean the car out!
Edit: when I said “short” pocket I meant “shirt” pocket. I don’t wear shorts, particularly in winter.
A very Happy Christmas to you and the family. May 2019 bring good things, including a clean car!
🙂 Thank you. I hope your Christmas is going well. 🙂
There is nothing more seasonal than fun in a car park. Happy Christmas to your and your ever loving doll.
A number of people seemed to be bringing their cars out for the first time in the year, judging by the manoeuvring skills on show. Hope your Christmas is going well.
Very well indeed thank you
🙂
Never a full moment with you, Quercus. Merry, merry Christmas to you and yours!
And to both of you. 🙂
That was supposed to be “dull” not “full.” Sometimes autocorrect drives me crazy!!!!
I guessed that was what you meant. 🙂
Jackie gave up trying to park at Tesco’s yesterday afternoon and went out again at 6 a.m. this morning. I stayed at home and prepared the coffee. Have a great time
Sounds like you get all the good jobs. 🙂
I think this is official evidence that Jackie is a saint.
