Thanks for your good wishes yesterday. I just felt so tired. At tea time I didn’t want to cook so had some breakfast cereal then the first of my Christmas mince pies . . . not the healthiest choice but better than eating nothing. I’ve felt much better today.

Raining again so in the afternoon I went to the recycling site then the garden centre. There weren’t many spaces left in the car park. I only wanted sunflower hearts for the birds but had a wander around the whole store and took photos in the Christmas section.

Took fright at the price of the bird food but then discovered it was much cheaper to buy 2 x 2kg bags (a multibuy offer) than 1 x 4kg of the same make. The tits will be happy as the feeder has been empty since last Friday.
