Sausages and celebrities


You'd buy it, wouldn't you?

Having to leave the flat at 9am on Saturday (to make way for the estate agents) we had a great excuse to enjoy breakfast in St. Margarets. Eating alongside that bald bloke from The Gadget Show, Jo had a couple of pastries while Tim filled up for a day of Christmas shopping with scrambled eggs, bacon and chorizo. Yum!

The rain stayed away for most of the day, which slightly improved the shopping experience in Kingston, but that didn't stop some people from dragging muddy footprints round our lovely clean flat. Hope one of them makes an offer, to make up for it....

On Sunday, during a brief reprieve from house-cleaning, we visited the St Margarets Christmas Fair on Crown Road. Tim had his first mulled wine of the season, we both had warm mince pies and we braved the rain and snow-machine to sing (rocking) carols in the car park of The Tavern with Milton Jones providing comedy.

Breakfast with man in uber-trendy glasses, carols with man with odd hair...

After that, it was back home for Christmas card writing, and a double-bill of movies: Batman Begins on TV, and The Last King of Scotland on DVD (not the upbeat biopic of Willie Miller that Tim was expecting...). Now the estate agents have gone, Jo has been able to inflate the gym ball in an effort to find a comfortable sitting position for at least 5 minutes at a time.

Keeping our fingers crossed for some good news on Monday about the flat. Will keep you posted, as ever!
