Red, white... fuschia?

A box of poppies appeared at work yesterday. Exactly a month too early. The security guard is already wearing one.

Come on, people! This is just silly. It's called Remembrance Day, not month. It's political correctness gone MAD.

However, this does have the plus side of reminding me about white poppies, which I might actually attempt to get hold of this year. (Last year I gave up and wore nowt.) Anybody getting a load in, or shall I order them myself?

Christmas stuff's out in some shops too.

I know; I've already bought christmas cards! It was even sillier last year, when the christmas sections started going up in early August.

I don't mind shops having christmas stuff, but I do object to garish window displays proclaiming it loudly to "be christmas" (and no doubt the "season of buying giving").

I'll have one if you get a load.

Hmmm... quite possible. I could take them along to a Samhuinn walkthrough, as I'm sure there will be plenty of hippie types there who might want one.

You can get them at the meeting house.

Oooh. Intruiging. Will they have enough for everybody?

Hmmm. Possibly I should think - I think they'll order you a box if you ask nicely.
(I wear both poppies or the red alone, never just the white).
