missed swimming today because of a chain of strange events - wound up having an unexpected couple of hours gallery visiting with my boy - topped off with a hot choclate and a cappuccino - take away, to warm our walk home

Christmas is allowed to come to Harburn Hobbies a little earlier than the rest of the world.

A flutter of excitement from Rudy - after walking past a load of overstated, overwhelming, gawdy premature festive 'installations' to which Rudy did not give the blind bit of notice - we stopped at one of our favourite ever shops and the miniature world sucked us both in.

It is nearly December.
