Christmas roses

Today's the day ………………………. for more of the same

While I'm on the guilt trip of yesterday - although Paula and others did a lot to make me feel better! - here are some roses that I bought for myself (in a well-known supermarket beginning with T) a few days ago.

I am very fond of roses and they are absolutely beautiful - and they will last for ages.  I have no idea where they came from but they cost the princely sum of £2.09. 

How can that work ……………………..?
