A quiet week, a week in which I decided to start Xmas shopping. I like to have everything ready and off by December 1st, and so on the last 24 hours I have spent over £300 and still have some way to go. The advantage of 'Amazon Gift Cards' is that they can be stuck in a card and the recipient buys what they want, not what I send. This is better for all, and the girls, and it is mostly girls at the other end, prefer this. I do not ask what they buy!
So I bought the cards, went back for more today, obtained other items from Tesco and B&M, strange the places Xmas comes from, and searched a charity shop or two. Now all I have to do is organise all this in a sensible fashion and obtain cards to go with them. Then there are the online shopping to do, but that can wait till nearer the time, and stuff for little hands round about.
For those I popped into the museum and searched their overpriced shop. I bought a couple of things, searched the actual museum for changes, recognised one of the dinosaurs on display, and bought museum honey and chutney. Home then for the football.
How nice to see the team playing properly today. 'Up and at em' was the cry, led by Cammy Devlin our Australian dynamo. What a man he is. It was his drive that carried us through the first half alone. After a few difficult games, missing many important players, we were heading back to our best again. With the others returning, by Christmas we will be much better off, though probably out of Europe.
The VAR experiment went well, Celtic lost out! Without fair coverage they might have won! Well done VAR!
Apparently we are aiming for another Prime Minister. One of the contenders is Boris Johnson, liar, cheat and idiot, who considers the nation needs him. Maybe he plans to kill another 180,000 in two years? I wonder if the temporary PM will release the 'Russian Report' that Boris refused to release, as it contains evidence of his treason and all the Russian money pouring into Tory funds? I somehow doubt it, decency is not her way. So, the comedy show continues, we await developments.

Ah, so you've been busy! For a moment I wondered if you'd fallen into the clutches of the Wee Free inquisitors investigating alleged modelling of swimwear on the Sabbath.
Christmas! You are organised!
Post from here is dodgy to say the least, so presents tend to be sought online in the country of the recipient to cut down the risk, not to speak of the problems of customs dues being sought when delivered.
Leo's well heeled sister sent him a present of a pair of boots from Australia. The French customs wanted to know how much they had cost in order to levy duty on Leo.
After much toing and froing a recipt was produced showing that they had been a knock down bargain in a well known chain of odds and end shops. Still, it is the thought that counts....
Fly, Brexit has made gifts from abroad a pain. Tax to pay, delays, and who knows when it will arrive. No more of this here.
