The Fragrant MrsP and I went out for our annual Chinese meal tonight, ( Parasol in Abingdon if you wanna know) which as usual was very good, but two hours of feckin Christmas tunes playing on the sound system is a bit mucking fuch to be honest.

This is why I go to the Hy-Vee, in Bloomington. No Christmas music, because it's a grocery store, and whatever is going on there is noisier than the sound system. The classical radio station I listen to has very much too much Christmas going on.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to bed I go...

Need to chuck two paracetamol down the hatch first, though...

Now imagine 12 hours of that, and not being able to leave.

Being a pastor, my dad used to have to "officiate" at carol services this time of year. Generally there would be upwards of 12 spread over advent. Of course, being local churches the quality of singing and instrument playing was... variable.

He referred to this as "Death by carol service"

Another 12 hours shift. This time in the tiniest office I've ever seen. Just enough space for a chair and a small table to put a laptop on.

Good to see they provided the essentials anyway.

I’ve had lose leaf tea in a pot with a cup and saucer this morning.

I’m in a belligerent mood. You have been warned.

How'd you get the cup and saucer I'm the pot?

I'm going to start -

And finish,

My Christmas shopping today.

This is a fine tradition of minimalist preparatory work, that guys across the western world instigated some years back.

I very much approve this method - well done.

So little wastage.

It will most likely be of the standard, books, socks, and nice things to eat or wash with, variety - also easy to wrap

Wish me luck
