Qualified for Christmas

I relented this week and have allowed the Christmas tree to go up a week earlier than I normally like. Next weekend I intend to visit my dad who is still in hospital in Greenock so will not be here to put up the tree and, as we treat it as a family affair, it is only right that it goes up a bit earlier rather than later. It's for the kids after all.

More to the point though, it transpires that I have qualified for a visit from the big man so I am secretly hoping for a macro lens for my camera, a coffee machine that brews the perfect espresso, or perhaps a copy of the full Photoshop software. Then again I am getting short of socks so nothing will disappoint.
