I'm not sure when it started but 'doing Shields Road charity shops' has become something Thunderthighs and I do together in the betwixt time between Christmas and New Year. Yesterday, after using up the Sainsbury's extra Nectar points vouchers before they ran out, we took ourselves down to Byker and bought next years Christmas cards in Marie Curie and Barnardo's, as well as quite a few birthday cards and two facemasks.

I've bought all next year's
Christmas cards half price or less in Shields Rd Barnardo's, Scope and PDSA. All variations on the Nativity too which have
been getting increasingly rare in the past few years.

Busy day - just taken Ferretfingers
to the barbers; he was looking even more Thelwell pony than usual this
morning.
Hendersons greengrocers had parsnip, mushroom, clementines and limes at 50p a
bag. Fester's thinking of making clementine
and lime marmalade. I'm thinking of
g'n'ts.
Mrs
Jeremy I'm with you there Ben, but maybe something
else instead of the g and t.

vodka?
Mrs
Jeremy Yes, or even Bacardi!

In the 1950s
my mother used to drink dry sherry and lime; I've never tried it. Once in the RAF Sergeants Mess in Germany she
ordered one and the barman gave her three glasses of sherry and a lime cordial.
Mrs
Jeremy Not liking the sound of sherry and lime...
