Christmas shopping was
rounded off today with three separate trips: first, solo, to Darlington to get
those finishing touches to presents, somehow gathering 10 items into my small
messenger bag in a couple of hours; second, again solo, to Bolams the butchers
in Sedgefield to get some turkey, not a whole one as we are not at home on
Christmas day, but just bits – a crown and a couple of legs – sufficient to
satisfy the demand for sandwiches on Boxing day and later, and compact enough
to fit in the already packed fridge; then in the evening to the supermarket to top
up supplies, not solo this time, but with my wife wearing her Christmas pudding
hoodie, I almost wished I was.
