Sunday in Sainsburys

I pop into Sainsburys to buy a poinsettia and come out with Christmas presents for my grand-dogs.

Seems a bit cruel giving Santa and a snowman to dogs to chew but at least I didn't get them a reindeer, which seemed worse somehow.

Also came across Turkey Gravy flavoured crisps. Well, I had to try them, didn't I?

Prior to that, I'd been in prison for the Sunday service. Last Christmas we went in for the carol service but apart from that we've not been in since before lockdown. Hopefully the old routine will pick up again and we'll be able to go in every couple of weeks. 

Two of the men next to me I noticed were paying particular attention to the service sheets we had. But only to hide the fact that they were vaping in a non-vaping area. The man in front of me was much less subtle. Great puffs of smoke were rising up from him but, strangely, the guards didn't notice. Smelly old stuff.

And in a short while I'll be off out again for Elder Son's early birthday tea party.

I'm sure the guards knew the men were vaping but were letting it go. They have to pick their battles. Happy Birthday to your son.

Love,
Janie

That's pretty bad that people can't go through a Sunday service without vaping. It's not like they would have to go all day.
Happy birthday to your son.

Happy birthday to your son.
I can not believe there is a vaping section in church.
