Talking of Christmas.

I went in to my local supermarket and what do I see?

Christmas Puddings
CHRISTMAS 'KIN PUDDINGS ffs

I hate the fact that the shops start promoting 'Christmas' so early
BUT
I can't see the problem with this.
I love a bit of Christmas pudding and I'm more than happy to eat it all year round.
Why do people think it should only be sold at Christmas ?

(before some smart arse says "the clue is in the name" I am also happy to eat Mars bars without leaving this planet)
 
Any Easter eggs ?

next week I hear

It's the principle of the thing, thin end of the wedge and all that...those who know need no explanation etc.
 
The best thing about taking early retirement is that at a drop of the hat you can book cheap air travel. Going to Berlin at the end of the month midweek and same with Budapest end of October. The wife works away all week, staying with her elderly mum who she looks after her, as well. I work as a bank worker in a care home for disabled adults, so work when I want. Oh the luxury. Work for a few weeks, save a few bob then go to places I haven't been before.

Got back on Monday from New York with the wife and kids, went for my 60th., whilst there went to see the Spurs game at Mr Dennehy's, a right Everton pub and highly recommended, after the game went to see New York City get beat by Columbus Crew. There were a lot of young kids with parents and teenagers at the Yankee Stadium to see the game.

The pleasures of retirement, but am glad I still can work particularly when I want. Which is 3.00 pm today until 10.00 pm., 3-10 tomorrow and 8-3 Friday, then on the pop for a good few hours. I feel so so lucky.

Buy mincemeat on Boxing Day. Ten pence each at Sainsbury' s this year - the quality middle class ones with brandy. I love mince pies at any time of the year.
