And FS center that seems to not open at all for my local one.

Doesn't have any opening times but also doesn't say it is permanently closed. 🤷🏻

Oh I saw the actual advert the other day and it was creepy as anything.

Yep. In good news it appears Santa Mark 2 is planning to come out on Sunday evening. Perhaps he will be a tad earlier ......

Yeah in that image does look like they may have used children to operate. The one I met's head was definitely around the 6 foot level.

Love it.

Slightly less scary looking is the Hooden Horse from my bit of Kent. 🐴

The location in most of those also seemed to be from the earlier bit of night based on the Happy Shopper in background. They did several areas last week, several tonight and doing several next it seems.

They started and posted we are here, heading there a couple times and on second one I'm thinking running a bit late but should be ok. The only posts after that were one of Santa but appeared to have been filmed at start of trip and then one of kids (and some adults) being photographed with him.

I just felt a shiver down my spine looking at the pic. That was weird.

Absolutely gorgeous.

I'm not going to make it because Santa is apparently making an early trip past my front door and I'd like to see him. 🎅

It may be a fly past because the wind is horrendous here again. Have a good one all.

I checked to see if accidentally mis-gendered but looks like Auckland not coming up.

That would be £8 for PDF and only get £4 back if they can't find it whereas you'd like to think could get the Digital Image of the info.

Definitely and there is an ad where it asks questions in conversation. One is about decorating a rented flat and it gives ideas that the person then goes "right so just put a carpet on the wall" and makes me think even they taking the mickey in their own ad.

Yeah and more of a job than a diseased hip. Maybe next time someone asks me what I do for work I'll claim partial sight. 🤷🏻

Are they all undertaker related? Hair dresser and joiner for others?

I'm seeing how many I can watch at 1.5x speed without it being obviously problematic. Most you wouldn't even notice apart from songs.

I've seen Jingle Bell Heist and Christmas under the Northern Lights as well as My Secret Santa so far.

Well I know you don't mean Dover. 😉

I had a parcel delivered today from a small business just outside Rye and have sent link to them as think they would appreciate the books based on their shop's contents.

Got to do something to keep myself busy until the paperback is out. 😛

Took me 15 years to knit a cushion cover because I went wrong so often and couldn't fix it that had to wait until I went back home to get my Mum to sort it out.

So, decided to simplify matters and just do a plain back. As you'll see I still got confused but just went with it.

Good luck. 😛
