One Last Christmas Shop*...

regarding clothes and house items associated with the festive season. All can be used for a fair few years ahead and some are OK for the whole of the Winter season because the design is not exclusive to Christmas. And they were reasonably priced or reduced.

Included in the selection is a warm hat.

 

Another Christmas jumper(This one plays music)but in time the gadget will fail and it can be removed so the jumper can be washed. I didn't buy it for that and probably will not use it anyhow. Other designs are of limited use because they have flashing lights and even if you manage to take the batteries out should you want to wash it, you can't remove the bulbs and there will be wires stitched into the material too. A friend of mine purchased one of those, they had all been reduced to half the original price.

I have a couple of festive throws...in the future I might put them on the sofa in the lounge but this year I will put them on my bed.

I have a couple of very small festive guest hand towels too. One is in plain white with a little penguin and the other has a design in red and white similar to the throw above on the right,

I feel quite rested, not in pain and OK indoors but earlier I felt pretty bad and though close to home I had to use a taxi. It took me forever to walk the very short distance to a taxi rank. Earlier, I missed a bus because I was so slow. I had an afternoon nap. And knew a bus ride was out of the question to go to the bingo tonight so another taxi was needed if I wished to go, I did not win but did win one gift in the Christmas raffle, a bottle of wine.

Of course as I say finally I feel more my usual self. I have managed to pull myself around with cherry juice a couple of painkillers.

I have had coffee and chicken sandwiches, watched a new episode of The Big Bang Theory and seeing I have watched a few Bond movies that I have never seen in the last week or two and there is one more tonight so though I feel ready for bed I shall settle down and watch it. Then go to bed and hopefully sleep well.

I'd like to just stay in tomorrow but may have to buy a couple of  items that I have run short on milk and cherry juice. I may buy some spare light bulbs too. If I can avoid going out I will. I would like to go out on Saturday and see something special in Durham and collect my theatre tickets but I won't push myself un-necessarily and will decide on the day how I am and also consider the weather.

*I say a last Christmas shop but I haven't included the festive fortnight edition of the TV and radio listings magazine(plus computer mag)some Xmas food goodies and now having seen how nice the throws are, I quite fancy having more for the furniture to jazz things up(I could also do with some cushions and with offers on they do not have to be overly expensive. For now they will make the old furniture look acceptable and can be used when I replace it.
