Today Barb worked a shift at the hospital and Peter made an effort to do things that Barb asked him to do. After work in the late afternoon, we strolled through Epping Shopping Centre to try to find a few things on our checklist. Gifts for people. And after a coffee we did just that. A few more things ticked off. But what was noticeable there was a much more subdued festive spirit. It seems that not having a government stimulous payout this season is going to make a lot of difference to the shopping centres. There was even this large plastic Santa that said it all. Why they used a Santa like that we don't know, but he looked like the place felt. Where are the crowds? he must have been thinking.Now if we did not have our own checklist there was a large one ready made for us at each entrance. Oh yes, the shopping centre has thought of everything just in case we come unprepared. For those of you who haven't made a checklist, this collection may be just what you have been looking for to get you started. :-)
