Friends, Crimbo Lights & Pineapple Hedgehogs

A very social day; I went to see my friend Carol mid morning and had a coffee and chatted whilst she wrapped some of her families Christmas presents (she should work in a shop - her wrapping is so proffesional - puts mine to shame!).

Next it was over to see mum and dad to deliver mine and Peter's presents - yes you read that right. As we both wanted stuff 'off the 'tinternet' I offered to get them and hand them over for wrapping. I was very good and didn't unpack the boxes when they arrived, so there's still a slight element of surprise - tee hee.

Got home about 5-ish and then got ready for a very rare Friday night out. We had been invited to a 'bit of a do' for people (namely Peter) who had helped out with Bournemouth Aviation Museum over the past year. It was a nice evening and I got to see some of Peter's mates that I knew and some that I'd only heard about, PLUS I saw cheese and pineapple on sticks - now there's a blast from the past!



On the way home we called into a street where they have wonderful Christmas lights but we arrived a bit late and the house owners had gone to bed - what they normally look like is pictured above - we'll be back....
