How I love (and by 'love' I mean 'hate') that question and, as I can't recall being asked it - an unexpected silver lining to the cloud we're all living under - I thought I'd ask you fine people.

I'm at that stage where I'm beginning to contemplate thinking about starting my Christmas shopping and, as this is a male-dominated community, I can't imagine anyone is ready yet.

But, just in case - are YOU ready?

Normally last minute, this time we’ve been organised and bought most presents in late Nov/early Dec. A trip to Brighton tomorrow to finish off.

Most people we know did everything from putting their lights and tree up, to buying presents, a month earlier than normal. Motivated by having more time on their hands (WFH, the last lockdown ... so bored) and all the bad press about shortages of everything due to world freight being adversely affected by CV19. Plenty of media warnings in the autumn not to leave buying late.

Yep. Presents all bought and wrapped, dinner planned and all food ordered.

Thank God for Amazon, getting made redundant in September and lockdown meaning there wasn’t much else to do [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Yes for once. Homeworking during lockdown surely gives you more time to plan, and I’m perennially bad at that

All done. Largely thanks to Mrs T, Amazon and my credit card. All the nosh sourced from local outlet, Macknade, with delivery incoming. Two guests to dinner, my son and my old pal and neighbour, Bob the (retired) social worker, with whom I watch all footballs (and I mean all the finest footballs known to humanity, accompanied by the finest wines*). If that is against Boris' guidelines, **** him. The utter ****.
