Christmas Day will be in one month. There are many seasonal preparations in many places. Decorations are put up. Soon the lights will all be switched on. There are angels blowing horns in Redruth and fishes and waves in St Ives. The lights by the estuary in Hayle say "Merry Christmas". But what's this by a supermarket in Camborne? It's not a reindeer!

Mishaps come in threes, but I have had more than three disasters already. What is the problem today? Our daughter is ill and she can't collect her children. I must entertain them.
