Christmas!

It's creeping up on us again like it does every year. You think you have ages to get ready and then there it is on top of you. Very damp here today but not raining yet.. We have been hearing the news from Australia about the heatwaves 40degrees there in Sydney with terrible bush fires. 44 in Melbourne apparently, that is way too hot for me, couldn't stand that. Hope John and Ann are alright in Perth.
Appointment in the Podiatry clinic yesterday at eleven o'clock so not too early. We  just about managed to get there, no reason why we were a bit on the latish side it was just the time seemed to run away with us. However, when we got there I had to wait a bit anyway so it didn't matter. Last appointment for the year actually the next one will be on the beginning of january two weeks off so a bit of a break. We finished around twelve so went to the Costa in Aintree for our coffee. I had my usual flat white which I really like and Vin had a medium latte with soya milk which he enjoyed. Very pleasant and not too busy. People watched for a bit then off home.Must say an awful  lot of people seem to be ontheir phones not enjoying a conversation at all though. 
Vin said little Jack from next door was at our back door this morning trying to get in but noluck, so he said he went off with his tail down. Aaah, poor little boy think he is looking  for some social interaction.Pity Jess doesn't take to him I think he is lovely. 

On the alert and ready to jump off!
