Just another year.

 Nearly the end of the year. All the presents have been opened. There is one present that certainly lasts the time. Lego. Whilst the children have new kits to make and play with, Lego from years and years ago is still eagerly played with. What a magnificent toy for children's fun and imagination.

Localised.

 More Christmas shopping. I despise shopping on the internet so it was nice to have time to browse the local shops with their individual items and chat to the staff. Whether a chain store or an individual shop it is much better for the soul to support the local community rather than some faceless usually American owned internet organisation.

Christmas shopping

 A visit to the hospital today but beforehand we had time to do some Christmas shopping. It was nice to be out and about.

The consultant at the hospital signed me off, nothing more could be done but I was to carry on with the nasal sprays. Will I be able to taste Christmas dinner? Probably not. Again.
