Big day getting closer

I decided to grasp the bull by the horns and head out food shopping this morning as when Anthony takes tomorrow off we will be stressed out with the traffic. I am glad nobody saw me in Asda as I was like a lost lamb wandering about looking for tinfoil which of course illogically is in the kitchen/toilet roll aisle. Best not make a mistake with those choices.

I remember that I am the only one of my posse that likes fruitcake so I bought myself one and got into a big discussion with a guy selecting Madeira cake and which one was best. I hope we bought wisely and tastefully! I am wearing my Christmas Pudding sweater today but it really is too warm outside for that. Alfie is in his Dumbarton Donut sighing loudly out of his nostrils. It is very cute. He was not in a good place yesterday as Anthony was in East Lothian for the day and it is difficult to deal with a sulking dog all on my own.

Neighbours across the back garden have taken down their garden fence and are getting another one. My curtain twitching has gone into overdrive.
