Christmas is coming.

Good evening. I went back to the park yesterday to see if there are any changes in the funky fungi. I think it's coming towards the end of it's life. It looks black and rotten, and it stinks pretty disgusting. I took two photos anyway, which are nothing special, so I have played around with the colours. Contrast, saturation, and tints added. That's better.    

Today I got the 1.09 bus into town and walked back. It was a nice sunny day, well for most of it. I got caught in a thunderstorm about 20 minutes from home. First hail stones, then thunder and lightening. I had my brolly so I didn't get too wet. 

A quick peak in Home Bargains and I see that Christmas is kicking off early. The shelves are still full of Halloween stuff, Trick or Treat, and cheap tat for Bonfire night on the 5th of November. Bah humbug from me. Christmas is cancelled in my house. 

I called in at the Arts Centre for a natter with Nikki. Quite a few people were turning up for the light show. I didn't need to go in, but thought why not take a selfie, or two. 

On the way back there was a security van parked in the same place as last week. It wasn't the lady I saw before, but another lady security guard. I sat on the wall for ten minutes and had a snack and a drink, and she emerged from around the back of the building. A much younger lady in full security uniform, with her two big dogs. She took no notice of me and went straight into her van and shut the door. No chat this time. The dogs barked when I walked past the van. 

I think another visit to my friend June will happen tomorrow. She said I cheered her up when I went on Tuesday. Can't be very nice for her being stuck in one room and not being able to move around very much. She had a very active social life up until she fell a month ago. I hope she will get to drive her car again when her leg heals.  

Thanks for popping in. Catch ya tomorrow. Toodle pip.   ilona
