I'm Continuing To Stay Put...

I have found out that I can travel to Sunderland without a break in the journey and having to change at Durham within a couple of streets of where I live but only until approx 5pm. But with an early start...that's not bad.

However, as I have all that I require I think I shall get back to tidying up my home again. I will attend my music club tonight, the little bingo club on Thursday night. Then wait until Saturday and try to attend a service within Durham Cathedral in the early evening which should mean that I am able to catch a bus home. Until last year I had never ever attended a service in the cathedral and that was very short and mainly for children and I was not in a great seat so was unable to see much of what was going on. Perhaps this time I will be lucky.

All my Christmas gifts are finally wrapped and purchased. I am on a short trip(free)Wednesday of next week to Middlesbrough but no plans to buy unless I get myself some stocking fillers and they will be purchased from pound stores. Those silly little items.

I treated myself to some Brandy laced Mince pies. I don't bother with them normally but thought "Why not!" and with the offer of one box of six for £1.90 or two boxes for £2 for the extra 10p it seemed worth doing so. OK they are by Mr Kipling but they make a fair few decent cakes etc...
