On a lighter note, I have found a pattern for a tree.
I have got some "fun fur/eye lash" yarn in a silvery colour, and a red/greeny mix. So I will see how big I can make them. I also have lots of old cushions that I can use for the stuffing inside the tree.

Yes I had to do that with my Mother when my father was in Walsgrave hospital. It is horrendous, isn't it? Sometimes I got lucky with a space in the first car park on the left as you leave the main road, even though I then had to pay for parking there. Other people have parked at Tesco's and walked through. I am sure that hospital car park planners do not do their sums properly. Staff shift changes mean that there could be double the number of staff cars parked there. When you have got someone in the car with you who is not well, it adds to the difficulties.

Yes, in the past when I've taken family members to appointments I've just dropped them off and drove round to Tesco's for a batch and a coffee in the cafe then drove back when they've phoned to say they're finished

Yes, that's another plan. Sometimes you need to go in to hospital appointments with people, which I assume is what you would prefer to do today.

Necessary 'paperwork and signatures' 55-mile round trip to the closest branch of our bank this morning.
May well switch banks in the New Year as others are much closer to us.

Well, yesterday we heard our 0630 ferry from South Uist to Oban was cancelled for an 11am one to Mallaig. Woo woo lie-in. It’s a 30 min drive south. As it was, we were up and sorted early so hit the road. Strangely the ferry port was empty. Entered the office to find that the replacement ferry to Mallaig had just been cancelled due to mechanical issues and we were now booked on an 1150 boat from North Uist, (15 minutes north of where we had just come from) to Skye.
Arrived for a 90 minute wait.

The idea of departing early from South Uist was to get started early and swap road miles for ferry miles!
Now we’ve left at noon for the longest drive!

The best laid plans....

Overnight stop in Gretna Green,

Quite a nice place as industrial estates go.

Shop floor Christmas tree was trimmed up today, apparently us in the office are boring because we haven't put ours up, too early! Maybe next Friday if we have time.

I'd say suggest doing the tree on the 12th, then you can do the 12 days in reverse

Spoiler

plus it means even longer before you have to sit staring at it
