I have a very important appointment for which I need to prepare.

It involves... oooh....well, a drive to the bottom half of the Island, via the supermarket for catfood and my friend's house to rifle through her dustbin while she's away.

No, I'm not a secret racoon or whatever it is that raids dustbins. It's just that a person we have never met who lives way away in Canada next door to my friend's sister and brother-in-law heard how my friend M has two honorary nephews and decided to send them the most amazing Christmas present as a surprise. You should see them - complete chef's outfits - hat, apron, teatowel and oven mitt, professional style! They look fantastic. She wrote a note and put her name and address on the tags attached to the wrapping paper and if we want to write thank you notes, which we do of course, then we have to retrieve them from their final resting place... preferably before the binmen come tomorrow morning!!!

The call at the supermarket is a must if my cat is ever to speak to me again. He is not, repeat not, impressed with the paucity of cat biscuits in his bowl and has let me know his feelings on numerous occasions. I must rectify the situation immediately.

And then.. and then...

Hmmm..... hour upon hour of sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, infra-red room, comfy sofas and ... being pummelled with hot stones for an hour and a half. The only disadvantage is - I suppose I'd better deforest the winter legs before I go!
