Cold and Frosty Morning

The sky was a mixture of oranges and greys this morning, much like the rest of the landscape actually. Our first proper chilly start to the day.

We didn't have the car so we went to look at the Xmas display in the shopping centre with some friends who were going that way anyway. I'm not sure if its me getting older or a sign of the times but it definitely gets more underwhelming each year. Little L and kainan liked it though. Fortunately we were oblivious to an armed robbery that was going on in the jewellers a few shops down. By the time we realised what had happened the police were there and sectioning the area off. I know times are especially hard but the impact of that on a centre full of youngsters, families and shop workers will be massive. Thank goodness nobody was hurt.

J is doing a double shift tonight. They've opened the coffee shop to buskers and sold tickets for a sit down meal. I spoke to him when he was half way through his 17 hr shift and he hadn't eaten or had a break yet. It's gonna be a long day for him.
