Diamonds are forever - shop 'til you drop

It hasn't been a particularly photogenic day, although the world of the back garden looked like many Christmas cards early this morning. According to a reliable source (builder), it was minus 6 celcius in Sidmouth this morning. It was too warm and cosy inside to venture out with the camera - I'm no Bruce Parry - so I stayed indoors and missed the opportunity. I thought I might make up for it in town this afternoon with the sun shining upon the Cathedral. Serves me right, but Exeter Cathedral Green is undergoing a major re-development and building works and scaffolding made it night on impossible to find a chink through which to get a decent picture.
You may be wondering about how the above title fits, but it's the final day of January and the month has been saving up the best 'til last. Philippa has been offered a job working with diamonds and I participated in the purchase of a kitchen tap (not to celebrate) this morning, and a wedding outfit this afternoon. There are so few plaes to purchase taps off the peg that I dreamed that 'Toys R Us' was really 'Taps R Us', as we sped past on our quest this morning. The plumber has been booked to refit the oozing tap at 8.00am tomorrow so there was an urgent need for shopping focus. What a contrast with diamonds, although I would argue that a functioning kitchen tap is probably of more value.

As for the wedding outfit, that was easy! Right down to the shoes. You'll get an actual picture in the wedding setting in due course. You are not going to get a picture of diamonds or a wedding outfkit here, but of the non-functioning kitchen tap in situ. Watch this space for the next instalment.
