but she got pastrami & rye bread for us. made a sandwich for dinner & splurged & had a beer along with it! reminded me of my late Father-in-Law. one of his favorite meals

Lift (elevator) news:
MrsPete and I went into town, this morning, as it was going to be quieter than Sunday visit. We parked on the 3rd floor and, eventually, got the lift down.
Shopping and wandering done, we eventually, due to only one person or family bubble in a lift at any given time, rose majestically to the third floor when we remembered that the parking has to be paid for on the first floor outside Sainsburys.
Down we went, stopping at all floors to see the people who couldn't use the lift to go up as we were still in it heading down again
It was like fogey fortnight at Butlins

The lights on the Christmas tree packed up. The bulbs are fixed in place so the whole kit is toast. I started searching on Amazon for some simple white bulb string lights with a green cable. It's not a lot to ask, is it?
They don't do simple anymore. There were 400 pages of all types of remote control/random/multiple effect junk with gaudy cables. Shopping's gone bonkers. Bah, humbug...

I needed a stamp to send a Christmas card to Canada. I queued for over an hour outside just to get that done. The rather startling news is that the rain held off until I got back indoors. I think that was pretty considerate of the weather gods.the ironies of covid continue ... : we're not supposed to gather for Christmas, instead we're all gathering at the post office to mail Christmas pkgs

Can you get LED humbugs to hang on the tree then?

I gave up and settled for some white bulbs on a copper coloured cable with eight different "modes". FFS, how many things can you do with a white bulb? It probably writes the lyrics to some hateful Slade song in Morse code or something.

no worries, this is the year of forgiveness. ironically, this is the year I'm not forgetting to send Xmas cards to everyone! Walgreens had a deal!

You can, yes, but I didn't know how many I would need. It turned out to be £1.74 and I definitely didn't have stamps to that value. I do now, though. After an hour standing waiting it didn't seem right just to buy one stamp!
