20-01-03 Friday I - Crockery

We went shopping yesterday and took TY and TE with us. It was a local out-of-town complex (is that a contradiction?) with a Tesco superstore and a Marks & Spencer, and a Next tacked on. The girls had all been given Christmas money, and TE found a nice teddy bear coat in Next that she was able to buy with her own money.

I wasn’t particularly in the mood for sales hunting, but it was good to get out of the house and do something over the winterval period. The days do really run into each other and I have found myself having to consciously tell myself which day it is.

Anyway, then we went to Tesco and TY went off and came back with a plate, a side plate, and a bowl. Apparently one of her 2020 goals was to have her own personal crockery, and she was able to buy them with her Christmas money. Goal achieved by 2nd Jan; sometimes life can be straightforward for ten-year-olds.

My New Year’s resolutions are (1) to buy less comics, and (2) to write more here. I’ve got some things I think about, and it’d be good to get them out of my head and down on paper. Also, I think my life is quite mundane, so writing about specific events might help prove that theory one way or the other. Sometimes it’s hard to recall specific events and what happened as days and happenings merge into each other, so if I make an effort to record that stuff here, that might cement it into my memory as well as create a record for me and others (?) to look at.

Good luck with your resolutions, and Happy New Year!

TTFN.
