Ho ho....sob

We've not yet choked on our strawberries and cream at the sight of the ghastly Andy Murray flopping at Wimbledon, but already it's time - apparently - to begin planning for Christmas.

I opened a silver envelope today and out popped an invitation from one of the major supermarkets to sample their Yuletide foods and drinks which the message: "Only 140 days to go!"

Yep...and until that number dwindles to 14, I don't want to think about it!
