Christmas Shopping with James

I do a lot of my Christmas Shopping on the internet these days, but some things have to be chosen in person so James and I set off into town this morning with a list! Thanks to James' nagging we arrived nice and early, and it wasn't too crowded. Our trip was very successful, we purchased everything that we wanted and even remained on good terms throughout! To celebrate the end of our Christmas shopping we went for lunch in John Lewis and ate pasta at a little table overlooking Buchanan Street. I have always liked sitting by this window; the multitude of shoppers on the street below always reminds me of a Lowry painting. We had a pleasant chat about all sorts of things including our plans for next summer. Alasdair and I went to Tesco in the afternoon to get folders that he wanted, then I dropped him at the station because he has his Dunlop Ceilidh tonight. Then I did some cooking for Alison and Hugh who are coming for dinner tonight and I even have time to read some of my new book - Inheritance by Nicholas Shakespeare. I'm enjoying it so far; it's certainly an intriguing idea but it now depends on how the author develops it. What a nice weekend.
