Well it's nearly December, Guy Fawkes day has passed, Diwali has passed, (so no more late firework parties for a bit) even Thanksgiving has passed, so its probably OK to talk about Christmas. However, OK or not, some things have to be prepared well ahead of schedule. Jo has started making cards.
Correction!
Jo has finished making some of her Christmas Cards. Follow the like for all her greeting cards, that I've taken pictures of. Todays pictures are different. Since Liz completed her decorating and reorganization the dressing table that I've used before is no longer in good light.
Parking Restrictions
Essex County Council (ECC) have proposed putting parking restrictions in the close. This is for the best possible reasons - to stop the congestion at school times, and to stop commuters leaving their cars here and walking to the railway station (12 minutes - I do it most days). The restrictions will be for one hour in the morning, and 1 hour in the afternoon. It should help stop parking like this:

Maybe, but it isn't thought through. What is Mike going to do with his car when he goes on holiday? It is normally parked where the Galaxy is, but that will have yellow lines, and for two hours a day he'll have to go somewhere else - and he'll have to come back from holiday to do it. Our guests will suffer the same problems. At least now we can park here and take the risk of a knock or scrape from a careless parent. The traffic planners at ECC really need to think more carefully before making these proposals. I have filled in my objection and returned it. I hope my neighbours have done likewise. Other parts of Billericay have residents permits - a much better idea.
