Lots happening.
Lots happening today.
We were up before dawn because we thought we would try a couple of our old hunting grounds again.
It was a clear and bright morning - with quite a nip in the air. The air was very fresh.
And fresh air is almost all we got.
Dorking car boot sale has become too full of stalls selling new tat from warehouses.
The greengrocer stall I can exclude from the tat; it is high quality and people go to the car boot sale to get their week's supply of fruit and veg.
I bought mushrooms.
And that is all we bought.
We drove home via Horley - never a particularly good hunting ground for us. It was packed out with stalls.
Bill actually bought 25 model cars.
I bought 2 give away supplements that came with magazines of the 50s - cookery supplements.
The Young Hostess - with suggestions for gay ideas for teens. I quite fancy the hot tuna bake with fried noodles.
The other is about cooking for all who play and watch sport - oh yes, sure that the active sportsman would like to come home to some tapioca creams!!!
It is not what we had when came home from a sports meeting today.
This afternoon was the first winter fixture of sports hall athletics for Sussex teams of youngsters. Crawley are to be congratulated on the enthusiasm of their manager and others so that a full talented team turn out and win. Lovely to see the children of Tim in the team......Tim was in the team himself when I managed it 30 years ago.
And in between the morning and afternoon activities we were at the Barn Theatre.
Tickets had been booked for the pantomime (5 from the family going together) and we went to pay for them.
We found that we had more time available than we imagined, so had a glass of wine before going to the athletics.
It was very pleasant chatting to people who were there, just being sociable.
The panto this year is Cinderella - directed by our nephew. We will miss his antics as a pantomime dame, but glad he is enjoying new challenges.
If you live anywhere close to The Barn Theatre, treat yourself to a good laugh in the delightful atmosphere of this venue.
You can't beat a live local society performing for your pleasure.
Many performances are already sold out.
We have opted for Thursday 13th December - Thursdays are the only days with plenty of tickets available.
I think these will go quickly when people realise just how close December is.
