Christmas Eve 2008


Christmas Eve morning
do I really need any
last minute shopping?

This was the sky outside my back yard on Wednesday morning. It was so lovely that I did in fact go out for a short walk, two short bus journeys, a train ride to Glossop and the long bus home. I bought nothing and was home by lunchtime.

Christmas morning was foggy and then we had a spell of bright sunshine but before long it became gray again.

    I did have to do a morning battery run ... and that was expensive, because the normal stores were closed, and I had to buy them at a convenience store at a higher dollar.

    What you wrote is just so perfect for this picture! I was feeling the same way on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I had to do some last-minute shopping!
