Monday dawns grey, cold and wet, another week and the last week in October, where has the year gone?

I had lazy'ish day yesterday, nipped into town more to get out of the house thn anything, nice hour out, but was cold and wet when I got back :))

I only really went to get a hot water bottle, yes I have succumbed to the cold that much, so what happened to the prices of them? Morrisons are charging £8.00 for a hot water bottle just because it has an animal cover on it, now admittedly it is nice, and yes I would have liked one but I cannot justify spending that amount of money on something to prop my feet on in the cold nights. Down the road I bought one with cover for only £3.00 not as pretty but i am not exactly going to be sat looking at it am I?

Prices seem to go through the roof at this time of year, of course it is hard to even find a hot water bottle in the middle of summer, but dont you think that the upcoming season has a lot to do with the price of goods from October to January? Come January sales that hotty botty in Morrisons will probably be half what it is now, along with many other things that you dont buy every day.

And of course come the end of the week and it is halloween, and while it is good for the place I have been helping out at, it is not good for old folks and pets, no more than bonfire night is, the constant knocking on the door, strangers in costumes, very frightening for some old folks, so if you are going out trick and treating, bear a thought for the poor old dear that just wants to sit and watch her soaps and be left alone, it is a scary enough time of year without adding to it. Though on the other hand there are the ones that treat it with fun, and will be waiting for the unusual visitors with bags full of treats,it is knowing the difference that counts. Just remember trick or treating is an americanism and some old folk dont understand it for the fun it is supposed to be.

What else, hmmmm, dont think there is anything else this morning, brain is kinda blank, time for coffee and get ready to go to town, hope everyone has a good day, catch you all later.
