Trips to bakery and supermarket as tomorrow, Epiphany, is a holiday and nothing will be open. It´s the fifth holiday in 13 days as on the days after Christmas and New Year´s most things are shut. Some enterprises - building construction projects for example - seem simply to close for the entire period.

Jenny texts to say that her daughter Laura has just had a boy. Exciting times as her other daughter, Emma, is also due in January. The UK has been very cold and she says that at 6 this morning there was an inch of snow in Thames Ditton - suburban London.
