Another frantic Friday.  I'd hoped to get out on the bike. At 0630 it looked possible, but as daylight crept in, so did the rain. So dishes, Christmas present wrapping and then Lidl. 
Off to school for Alex and I bumped into Red Don. We played music along with John, Jan and Cliff every Tuesday for many years in the early noughties. 110 mile round trip. Happy times. A very brief chat as he was on a lunch hour and I was on a deadline too. We'll catch up again soon, I reckon. 

To school, via kids clothes drop off at the bike shop, then a sprint home , gather Tom and board a bus for town. Paradise Palms to meet the folks. Finally they've bought tiles for the bathroom and were also hitting IKEA for stuff and wanted to grab something by Highland Stoneware which is handily placed for PP. I dutifully avoided the chipotle mac cheese and opted for nachos...tasty!

90 mins later we bade then farewell and sauntered off to Brewhemia...scene of the office Christmas lunch. And also farewell to AOB who's jumped before he was pushed (ok that might be uncharitable but not entirely untrue.  An ally though so he will be a miss)
40 mins there and then walked Her home; grabbed the Hoover and a kiss and back to Granton we went.

Dinner and pack Tom up for a Wee Sleep out at his school.  A 19 took us there and he was signed over to the school.  Alex and I got a 24/16 home to Millwall v Forest. Phew!
