Today happiness is

1. A long lie, some chat to catch up with pals, some coffee to start things off.

2. Finding the perfect place for a great burger with the right atmosphere. Thank you Cottiers.

3. Getting the Christmas tree from a right good Partick geezer. Banter no extra charge.

4. Shopping for our Secret Santa gifts. This year we are buying gifts for children who won't be recieving any presents. We buy for a gender and age, label it and the charity will collect and deliver them. Shopping for a six year old boy and a five year old girl was truly joyous and great fun. I hope they like them.

5. Home, a tree drying out before decorating begins.
