Bah, humbug! I order some Advent books from Amazon which they promised faithfully to deliver by 3rd December - later than I'd have liked, but just about acceptable.  Today a ple of emails arrived saying they were sorry, they'd now be dispatched after 27th Decemebr...!  I know I could cancel the order, but maybe I'll just do Advent in January instead?  Thankfully I did get something from SPCK, so I'm not totally without resources.

Just as well I've pre-ordered the Archbishop's Lent book methinks!
