Last Minute Shopping for Real

 The Brayford water front is well and truly iced up apart from a few flowing river sections it looks strange watching the swans walking over the ice from one river to another when they could fly if they wanted too.
Maybe readings of -9 approx is the reason or maybe they have prepared or waxed their feathers to help cope with the cold to such a level that abandons there wings useless during winter! maybe that is why they chose to walk.

 After only a few moments i could not bare the cold any more!  it was after all Christmas Eve and all the shops were closed! replacing the window displays with sale signs and stock taking in motion!

 

I had to force myself to go in Costa for a coffee!  i asked for the biggest mug they had!

It has 2 handles on it!  i really wanted a mug with finger holes in for my hands.

But nobody has invented a mug like that yet!

I was taking my time with this coffee while i waited for my brother to arrive from Nottingham and when he got to Lincoln we went to a Tesco express! as it was the only shop open.
We only had a few hours before Christmas day and yet Glen had nothing to offer! we had a right laugh about it with one of the staff! Mocking Glen about the fact that this is truly last minute shopping.
Glen chosen Baileys, whiskey and boxes of Chocolates (Tesco Brand) lol
I couldn't Blog while i was at my sisters! so i will add more of what happened on here very soon!
