Shopping.

I woke this morning to find the sea mist had rolled in once more. I can't believe how lucky we were to have such a sunny day yesterday. The sea mist remained here all day, when I came out of Morrison's in town the clouds which had been sitting on the top of the neighbouring hills had sunk to just above the roof tops making everywhere feel very grim and clammy.

With cupboards still full of food I didn't need that much in the way of food shopping but I like to have a look after Christmas to see if there are any bargains in the shops. I picked up a couple of half-price decorations in Charlie's and splashed out on another set of lights that were also half-price. I thought I had selected a set the same as the ones over the kitchen window but they turned out to be a lot longer, 9.5m! and not so dense. I guess I can either fold them back on themselves a few times or put them up around the main windows in the sitting room. In town I had a look in Tesco's, not somewhere I usually bother with but I had a £2.50 voucher to spend. I got a diary for next year to record my daily photos in and also found some note books and revision cards on offer. They should be useful for our Welsh course. I had a very brief look in M&S on my way through to Tesco's but didn't see anything apart from a really sparkly dress which would have been great for aerobics if it hadn't been £37. And that was the reduced price.

This afternoon I indulged in a double episode of the Christmas Call the Midwife. A real tear jerker but as always a happy ending, almost.

This is the third Polly's window that I failed to photograph the other week and I think the nicest. I love all the little mice and other creatures. I must find out if they are just for the window display or also for sale.
