First four cards written.
Presents got for Fester (edible from Quayside Market).
Woolerwoman  So enterprising and organised as usual.
You could be a life coach to people who think they are busy.
Paganess  Just one pressie to buy for Mercy. 2 cards will be written and sent tomorrow, everyone else gets messenger greetings.
Lights start to go up tomorrow.

Interesting drive to Wallsend yesterday.
Having scraped the snow and ice off the car, reveresed slowly onto the street and off the ice and onto the tarmac and slush of Benton Road (not fancying the side streets), I got onto the Coast Road which at 08.55 was very quiet.  I was puzzled to see a couple of cars virtually stationary in the outside lane under the East Coast Mainline bridge.  Flood!  Deepest on the inside.  So I also drove very slowly through the outside lane.  
Not meltwater but a broken pipe which caused massive tailbacks later in the day.
Thunderthighs' annual medical today, followed by lunch with the Woodlawn ladies and this evening a WI committee meeting.
The Day Centre’s minibus' heater is bust so Ferretfingers is staying home today; 
I believe he and his father are planning a trip to Morrisons for peanut butter.

For the past few years Ferretfingers has asked for a Christmas jumper for his Christmas present.
He now has half a dozen, hardly worn.
So, despite my dislike of early displays, I've decided December is Xmas jumper month so at least we'll get some wear out of them.
Today to the Quorum Business Centre Christmas Market LDNE stall where I shall attempt to flog our knit'n'natter stuff, and my fellow trustee's mum's wonderful handmade kid's knits, to the passing public. Taking my knitting bag with me of course, for the lulls, as I have Joseph's head-dress and the donkey to make.
Mrs Leftfoot  "As I have Joseph's head-dress and the donkey to make".
Iconic one, you've made me laugh again.
