It’s the middle of August and, here in the UK, Xmas preparations have been on the go for some time.
Many bars and restaurants have published their Xmas menus, the same as every year of course. TV channels have been showing 24 hour Xmas films since late May.
Harrod’s bear is available.
There are no cards in the shops yet, as far as I can see, but the selection boxes are out and the toffee tins.
Hope you are well-prepared.
