Christmas keeps on coming!

Today saw me travelling over to Sheffield to meet up with Trisha and Julia.  As usual, we chewed the cud over cake and coffee - not any old cake and coffee, you understand, it was M & S cake and coffee!  Before we met up I managed to bag a couple of bargains for next Christmas - can't say too much but am quite pleased with my efforts!
 

Trisha was telling us about her daughter, Joanne, who is starting her own dancing business after years in the profession - both as a teacher and a performer.  Not only is she starting classes but she is also running a facebook page here -she is looking for "likes" if anyone has the time please?


After M & S we moved on to Costa's - who says that we don't live the high life - for lunch of a toasted cheese and mushroom sandwich - before finding out that 3 hours had passed and it was time to depart.  I honestly don't know where the time goes - we meet up every 6 - 8 weeks for goodness sake!  But it's a great day out with lots of laughs and memories.

Once home, it was a quick dog walk in the rapidly disappearing sunshine, before settling down to open the post - voila one "late" Christmas present. This was from my brother and, as he explained, has been designed by a former student and has received funding from Kickstarter.  It's an intriguing gadget which you put on our finger and then draw down where you want to cut - and it does - cut that is!  Yet the blade feels non sharp when you run your finger over it - very unique and worth waiting for.  You can find out more about it here.  watching the video I particularly like the idea of using it to open packets and parcels - much safer than my usual kitchen knife!!
