The decorations are spreading round the streets - Christmas dressing seems to be in full gear. These are the decorations outside a hairdressers - nice and simple, not going for the full on kitsch that some shops do!

I just realised that today was the second last working monday of the year - now if that isn't pressure to get presents wrapped I don't know what is! I've not even got my tree yet... eek. Feel like I'm on permanant catch-up at the minute, however, it's fun in it's own way - it's the gradual build up to the days off and the fun of seeing everyone that I've not seen since last year.
