The local pharmacist is arranging his window display. A Christmas reindeer and a collection of hot water bottles. Next door the proprietress of the childrens clothing store is installing a Christmas tree. Well, not so much a Christmas tree as a silver twig with a grand total of eight baubles on it . The demonic mannequins look on. Less than two weeks to go and festive cheer is running rampant.
Better stock up on the water bottles...
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Bertie would love a new fluffy hot water bottle to cuddle up to at night (he still uses the one I bought for him as puppy, in case he was missing the warmth of his siblings, one but the cover is now worn thin).
ReplyDeleteCheers! Gail.
How is the new car doing! Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteNothing says festive like a hot water bottle and a stick tree! Stay merry, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHi - Still facing 'server error '. Will try again later. Is it me or you ?
DeleteI have never seen such a huge hot water bottle....probably worth its weight in gold during the cold winters I'd bet.
ReplyDeleteGotta give the pharmacist an "A" for effort with his display.
Angus you should write a movie screenplay..."the lady in the dressing gown and pink pom-pom slippers stubs out her cigarette and offers me a beer"...you can't want it any better than that....A Steven Spielberg movie if ever there was one.....
Those mannequin children are absolutely frightening! Creepily set up with twigs and baubles...Chrimbo may never be the same for me! I love the first picture, eerily quiet beautiful village!
ReplyDeleteRelieved you said that about the mannequins as that was precisely what I was thinking.
ReplyDeleteThat window display is hardly festive. You are so correct as the the demonic quality.
ReplyDeleteAt least tartan's in fashion there
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the French write it 12/12/12?

Did you know that there's a specific word for "freezing fog". It's "pogonip". I know about it because we get freezing fog more frequently than most places.
ReplyDeleteFestive, indeed!
Looks like our weather the last few days, although we weren't at freezing. Love learning new words, though. Now let's see if we can remember 'pogonip' the next time we need it. Hope you packed your long johns.
