Picked up a couple of reindeer lights from Homebase's sale yesterday - £30 each and about 3 foot tall. SIL/BIL's shop is selling some, and even in their sale they are over £70 going onto £150 
.
I think I've mentioned before we've bought lights from them previously but they have failed. Should be 'interesting' on Christmas day when they come for dinner. 'Oh where have you got them ?'.... that said, the work space light under the stairs isn't the one that he supplied, so he'll notice that, We'll just say 'it was rubbish and stopped working' - we've not taken them back as it would cost them too much, and they aren't really breaking even.,

I'm trying out a roasted sprout, bacon and parmesan concoction tonight. With a couple of tweaks, it'll definitely go into the Christmas meal.
Somewhere I have a tin of wet lube chain oil. Question is where is it? Fortunately it is not needed immediately.
I have more than one tin but cannot find any of them. Obviously put somewhere safe in case I find them.
Could be in a box of assorted bits I keep in my car or up in my shed which was my bike workshop but I not going outside to check as the surface is far too dodgy.
In the search I did look in a few storage boxes of all sorts of stuff including assorted camping gear which I doubt I will ever use and all sorts of bike bits again not likely to be wanted.
To get to these boxes I had to shift several bikes which again I doubt I will ever use but checked all the tyre pressures and brought them up to normal pressure so at least something useful was achieved.
Why do I have so many bike locks? All my bikes had a basic kit attached permanently as they had different size wheels and different spanner needs as well as different chain widths so to have a lock handy was very little to add.
I always manage to forget my lock when going touring so more often that not I end up buying a cheap cable lock if I am going to be leaving the bike somewhere.
Therefore, I have many bike locks

Got my first Christmas card yesterday.
Desperate plea on FB.
"Our delivery drivers have exceeded their driving hours and so stuck on Mull and need beds overnight can anybody help?"
Somebody has fitted them in so at least that is sorted.
Now a further problem as their ferry back off tomorrow is cancelled and chaos reigns again with a whole slew of cancellations.
They will have to go via Lochaline adding about 80 miles to their journey.
Just one of the joys of island life.

Right, erranding done. More festive goodies acquired - including some bits picked up on YS. Have bought the Xmas pressie for the friend I go walking with (a large wedge of stilton and an equally large camembert) to go with the jar of chutney I also have for her.
Bought some more clementines (I love 'em!). Do you think nine kilos is enough?
Now sat down with a
and some chocolate.
Almost time for France v Morocco.
