Christmas started big with a bang ; or rather 3 hours of jazzed up Christmas classics belted out this larger than life local singer and three piece band .
Still bopping , we retired next door to an equally funky Mexican restaurant . Not sure what this artist had been on !
Christmas Day demanded some recompense : exercise to make bodily amends . This was our local view ; unfortunately from a video advert
So the next best thing ; “ a walk on the wild side “ ; well in our little bit of forgotten tropical forest …complete with lianas from which to pretend to be Tarzan
But no ! The local residents required tranquility . Those monkeys are sensitive creatures .
The roads were equally deserted , apart from some energetic types ( the dog that is ) , and a passing runner who must have been wearing all her Christmas present ; I could still smell her perfume from 50 metres away
Oh , then there is always the local cops having a nap at the end of their Night Shift
..Nor is futuristic architecture
It is sad to see what little jungle there is fall to the developers construction . Another private megalith .
The local residents are striking back . This van is advertising “plant a tree to save the planet”
And this house is adding its own bit of greenery
And so is this office block
But back to Christmas Day ; it looks like the shoppers are all shopped out !
However our local coffee shop was still in the festive mood giving away free cake
Christmas is also about giving and receiving . My book was about this guy who is as fearsome as he looks . I am glad I never worked for him !
