I can only hope that this was an old jigsaw someone was taking to a charity shop rather than a new one they'd bought to keep granny out of the kitchen over the festive period. More likely to have been a child-thing given the comic-book writing and "BLACK-FOOTED FERRET" reference. Answers on a postcard.

Lovely walk in the fog through the meadows and beyond this morning for my thrice-weekly gaze through the window of the secondhand-lens shop. I did mean to go back to this a bit later in the day to see if he had frozen but forgot. Maybe it'll be frozen tomorrow morning. Went for a second last-minute-extra-present wander into town a bit later to see if there were any good last-minute-shopping-frenzy pictures to be had but it was all rather civilised so I had to make do with a picture of a streetlight and the annoying bus which drove up and blocked it just when I was about to try a long-exposure-zoom shot on it. Another one to add to the pile of spare blips. Went round the corner and got some lights in mirrors instead.

As people have already mentioned the shops seemed to be keen on getting their SALE posters up before they'd even finished herding today's customers out of their early-closing doors. I'm half inclined to take an early-morning wander along Princes Street on Tuesday to see if I can blip any daft buggers are waiting in line to get into the Next sale; once back home the fambly drove into Lincoln on boxing day and witnessed at least one hundred people queueing down the street just so that they could be the first people to riffle through the shelves of 42S trousers three times before walking away shaking their heads.

Have a lovely day tomorrow. Remember that your stomach doesn't magically grow just because it's christmas. Try not to trip and swear when sneaking into your childs' rooms with the stocking tonight. Try and go outside at least for a couple of hours. Hope you get what you wanted.
