Heaven Help Us …….

With a second lockdown now upon us it looks as if  Darrell's already meticulously drawn up spread-sheeted Christmas décor plans are "sadly" safe from Nigel's usual, persistent festive pester power.

Usually, with Halloween over, all Nigel’s attentions would move swiftly on to Christmas, with only twenty five days or so left before Darrell starts to put said plans into action, ready for a December 1st awe and wonder ribbon cutting ceremony.

And this year, Nigel was thinking big ……..  no, that’s not quite right …….. Nigel was thinking humungous ……

……. with his taste a touch too “in your face” for Darrell’s delicate interior designer sensibilities.

However, it seems that circumstances have overtaken such grand ambitions (for this year at least). In years past Darrell and I would have tactfully pointed out to the ever enthusiastic, unputdownable little fella that The Towers is a little too on the bijoux side for such large ambitions and not best suited to an evasion of giant, red/silver clad Santa’s, or whole plethora of marauding, pointy eared, festive elves of the male/female persuasion, no matter how cute.......

...... but this year, it hurts me that the answer is sadly and quite simply, a big fat no with no compromise, as such fripperies are in no way deemed as essential shopping and if considered purchases were not made before lockdown, then it's now too late and even a little light mooching prohibited!  Poor Nigel!

Very wise.

At least you can avoid taking the blame. You can blame BJ, or Matt Hancock, without his half hour, or, perhaps Dom Cummings. Or even His Lordship Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KCB QC MP.

What's happening? I logged on to see Friday 6th November's instalment, and it isn't there.

I blame Donald Trump, and the election.
