There used to be a pizza take-away here in Bath which - when you went to pick up your order - if you asked for extra 'greens', would sell you smokeable weed.

Everyone dresses in 1940's style - the women in silk dresses and fancy hats - the shop assistants in wrap-around pinnies and turbans and the men in army/navy/airforce uniforms - never anything less that high-rankingthough!The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-32059055946089691372015-07-04T09:38:49.698-07:002015-07-04T09:38:49.698-07:00Oh, the Horrrrrorrrr of Lebkuchen in the shops as ...Oh, the Horrrrrorrrr of Lebkuchen in the shops as early as September. Should we hand out a prize for the first one to spot one on a shelf in a shop? Are you really up for another video mapping project? The first one was great, but it seemed very stressful to be involved in it (judging from a distance here). Have you ever gone into the Christmas shop and hinted at buying 'one of their other goods'? That might provide some clarity. Oh, questions, questions, questions .... I had an energy drink this morning and feel like a race horse before the start.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550611275677498097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-40934617718194013312015-07-04T09:34:13.386-07:002015-07-04T09:34:13.386-07:00Your post made me smile.

I am the Scrooge of the family, but also the one that has to do all the shopping, cooking and decoration and clean up. I dread it every year. I have heard of those Christmas stores here too. Couldn't get me in one. And, it will be 95 degrees here today, so I'll be stuck inside. But, I did get to listen to a far off thunderstorm, watch my goldfish in the pond, interact with the cats and caw to those damn crows I began feeding. I guess I sound quite the madwoman.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
