Ambleside's Christmas lights are up. A phone snap on my way to Spar for mushrooms and onions. 

Not sure where my brain was today. I burnt the toasted teacakes at breakfast time, kept putting photos in the wrong folders while preparing my latest photo book and for tea we almost had con carne without the chilli.

Our eldest phoned in the evening about his plans for the end of the month. Flying in to Inverness, out of Manchester and in the middle we'll spend a few days in Yorkshire with him.
