I’ve noticed two things today, 1 you always join the longest queue and 2 Poinsettias just last one week, still we have a nice new expensive pot added to our collection.

They're toxic to cats, ergo I have a fake one. And a tablecloth with a poinsettia design on it.

We have just done the same it wasn't too bad but bad enough.

My working day is completed

Tesco Ely has been busy, but not as crazy busy as I've known it in the past. I think people have either a) gotten ahead better this year or b) are having a smaller Christmas generally. That said, I'm glad I've not been anywhere near town today. Although will be going tomorrow for a crack at the yellow stickers.

It's tradition!

Hot chocolate time. Possibly with a biscuit.

Nissan Kicks

it’s a good rental, good visibility out, bright color good safety visibility, good road manners, handles predictably, does OK on highways & today on my morning commute which has 1/2 local roads. plenty of acceleration for getting on the highway ahead of trucks & over 40mpg for 30 miles of mixed driving! & I like adaptive cruise control!

a few minor negatives - cheap toylike feel, door controls are not illuminated, no sign of awd, every now & it then makes weird sounds, guessing it's the CVT?

Probably, although I do not get much noise out of my Murano, but it has a lot of rustproofing and sound deadening. A very solid old crate.

Arsenal v Palace has been watched. What a penalty shootout!

Pate has been decorated and glazed. Just waiting for it to cool before popping it in the fridge. The last of today's kitchen efforts will be making a batch of crumble topping.

Progress made on the deck. A bit of tidy up in the morning.
Suggestions how I can convince the management that the new deck is her Christmas present.

Bike still sulking unattended.
Going to be Wednesday and recce for the 50th celebration outing.

Well, now the management wants the new deck to be treated.
Boxing Day Circus or similar? Didn't get the reaction I would have liked.

Suggestions for what I might treat the deck with. Assuming the humidity gets out of triple figures sometime soon.
