Today was bitterly cold.  A morning doing not much and an afternoon spent shopping for Christmas - some things to leave here and some to take back to Istanbul; and then an evening spent packing it all while bro fetched pizza and Kara joined us for some fairly awful Sat night TV.  I bought the flowers (pictured) on Friday.  It's the only photo I took today.  Dad always had flowers and I like to continue his habit whenever I'm here.
