23rd Dec W. Might be a busy day one way or the other.
Decidede to risk shopping today and this should tider ius over Christmas.
A gift parcel arrived today. Not opened as yet.
Well I went round Woolworths spending as I went. I felt a bit wobbly as well .
Notable absence of Carols and decorations.
Seems Christmas is under seige.
Did the baker and home I go. luckiy I had started early - about 8AM and so missed the rush I could see developing as I exited.
A sunny day so far.
Home to unload and eventusally we both have coffee and share a cake.
When I walk to the mulch bin in the back garden the grass is dry and crunches underfoot. very dry indeed..
In the afternoon Vad has n sssisted shower.(because of her recent operation)
I met the lady assistant  as I was going out.  Told her vad was waiting and I was going shopping.
So far so good.
I buy a 'wholesome roast chicken' at  Red rooster to help out our eating over the next day or so.
I get home laden with three bags.
The door is not only shut but locked.
It has done this in the past and once I ad to break in through a back window.
So I give the door a good shaking. Ring the door  bell more than once. . Try my key. Nothing works. I give the door a good thumping. Nothing. I rattle everything.
I was on the point of putting my shoulder to it when the shower assistant opened  the door from inside.
She had locked it" because there was the two of them inside".
We had chicken sandwiches for dinner.
--I had told her I would be coming back. how was I to get in.
