Except first thing in the morning, it seems!
I decided to get a good run at the Christmas shopping today, as I am working a fair bit these days, and time is slipping away from me.
So, I got organised to go straight into town after dropping the kids at school...no mean feat in this house!
Got into the car park nice and early and decided my tactics as I came down in the lift. Head to the furthest shop away from the car park and work my way back. Good plan, especially knowing that the book shop, where I knew I wanted to get lots of stuff, is close to the car park!
Got to furthest away shop and got the necessary presents. Then plan fell apart! Only quarter past nine, and none of the shops I wanted to go into were open! I rattled doors, and peeked through windows like a poor wretch, but to no avail!
Had to resort to plan B...coffee and a scone!!! Well, a mocha and an apple scone with strawberry jam, to be precise!
Today I am grateful for plan B!!
Duly refreshed I motored on for another 4 hours and (almost!) finished the shopping!
All in all, quite a good morning! Very pleased with myself!
Gratefully yours.
