The bleak weather did not stop kids crashing about the skatepark on new equipment nor did it hinder the dog walkers, nothing does that! However as I did not get up till 8:30ish and remain slow at feeding myself in the morning I was not aware of life until around midday.
By then it was time to eat, my imitation broth, with too much cayenne pepper and too little flavour, was followed by fruit to make up for what was not eaten yesterday.
A quick wander around town followed. The usual shops were open, you know the type that never appear shut no matter what the holiday, and while some bigger ones were open the crowds were thin indeed. Bargains I expect were much thinner. One shop 'Peacocks' filled its windows full with a 'Sale' advert but only one or two racks of ageing junk was to be seen reduced, the usual empty ploy. Nothing was happening anywhere bar people meandering about without much of an aim. The usual after Christmas 'feel' and I suspect by tomorrow Christmas trees and other bumf will appear dumped on pavements everywhere. Many more will be out tomorrow as some will have to return to work and the shops will be busier once auntie and granddad have gone back home having left their gifts behind. The season of 'goodwill' is over.

Now have a brick on top of the kitchen waste bin....
Fly, Poor dogs, now they will starve!
Looking at you last picture and having just put our bins and recyclables out, judging from the neighbours piles on the pavements the bin men are going to have a busy day tomorrow.
Dave, The bin men will be on overtime here as they work a day late, and that means Saturday work. The bins are overflowing already!
