We're home. We stayed a day longer than we intended. Chris & Melanie just made us feel that comfortable that it was easy to do so. Besides, we both had gift cards for a chain of book shops that we don't have in Thames, so we had to go shopping at one of the malls local to up there. A fatal mistake really. We ended up buying all sorts of stuff as well as redeeming our vouchers. That included a 12 place setting canteen of cutlery (Stainless steel) for 1/4 the normal retail price. (Well, you just have to don't you with a deal like that..)
We got some nice presents & had a wonderful time, which lets face it, is what its all about. Whispas was good. Didn't blot her copybook once & also totally ignored Chris & Mel's two guinea pigs & generally impressed everybody with her charm & good manners. Still, its good to be home though. We left early in the morning to dodge the heat, but I think everybody else did as well, as the traffic was quite heavy. So we're home.. Roll on New Years, so I can hoist a dram for Auld lang Syne....

Yay! A good report for the holiday! Whispas is a saint among dogs. I would like it if she spoke privately to my Chuck. He is a lovely man, but prone to marking his territory.
Going into any bookstore brings on the end of my fiscal responsibility. But... have you read the bumper sticker: "So many books, so little time!" So, there you (and I) go...carte blanche. :-)
Happy New Year!
