Christmas Eve 2024


It was Christmas Eve in Sainsburys, 
All was riot and struggle....
Bruisers fought their way through the mob,
Me, I was too puggle..d.

Last desperate shop to fill every cupboard and the freezer.  After all the shops are closed tomorrow and will not be open again until, er, Thursday...  We might starve in the meantime.  
However, the number of fathers trailing around the supermarket with one child, the dad just as lost as the kid, was entertaining.  Not unusual to see dad's leading the child but less so in such shops.  Mum will have forced them out to get things done at home, this giving her free time and less hindrance for advice from both!
 Talking of starving at Christmas, judging by the number of people now wearing items 'Size Fat,' I am not convinced many will suffer malnutrition here.  Those that might have been to the Food Banks, ours works on Wednesdays so they either went elsewhere or got double rations, I wonder which?  I suspect the Salvation Army or someone else will be offering food tomorrow, I think they did last year.  I must ask about that, usually something is mentioned.
 

A quick glance at the tv schedules for the tv that I never watch shows that apart from a religious service most BBC one and two offer kids type movies, game shows with added celebrities I have never heard off, the News and weather, and little else.  I would watch some of this to see what I am missing but expect within a short time I would be moving away from that.  Possibly the wireless will offer better, I will look that up later tonight while supping from the Bottle of Jura that was accidentally opened before Christmas, I know not how.


Wishing you a Merry Christmas, 
and an understanding of what Jesus coming means for us all.

I have tried to leave 3 festive messages on your blog but sadly all have been rejected as not valid. This is the 4th. If this doesn't appear either, well... I tried! Jenny

It's these new self opening bottles...I suspect AI....
I sent Danilo out to pick up my pills from the clinic...he returned much later, shell shocked having had to get through the town centre- so small if you blink you would miss it. What with the already well oiled rolling into the road, the large ladies walking there to avoid the fibreglass reindeer and inflatable Santas on the pavement and every jalopy from miles around looking for somewhere to park it was, he announced, hell!

Anon?Jenny?Anon? Technology is having a field day on here just now. Some things work, some don't then work again! You are right about Jura, and I knew it was you. Enjoy your Christmas.
