Good Morning Tuesday 23rd December 2025

Blossoming 💐

Good morning all,
Another gloomy day today, dank and grey but at least it’s not raining yet.
Just got back from the dentist. All clear for another 6 months 🤞.
The supermarket car park wasn’t too full, thankfully, so I got a space fairly easily as the dental surgery is nearby. Just enjoying a coffee now before I tackle a few chores.
💐 Blossoming.

Wishing you a contented and peaceful Christmas Blossoming. X

Your brave post made me reflect Blossoming that without wishing to take away from it, for many of us it could well be our last Christmas - at least with no empty spaces at the table.
When GS3 (D2 ‘s first baby) was born I was very eager to share his first Christmas - as we had GSs 1 and 2. But I recognised his other grandparents might feel likewise so the only thing was to invite them as well as D, SIL and little fella to stay with us. It was lovely, the other granny had early Alzheimer’s but was happy to be in familiar surroundings and we all had a joyful Christmas.
Little did I know at the time it was to be DH’s last Christmas.
But I have the happiest memories of that time.

Oh Blossoming. 🙏💐

Thinking of you……

We none of us know but that is a good thing, we don’t put too much pressure on ourself and others.
In my life I have had three close to me, Father aged 49, step father 76 and MiL 66 die in the early weeks of the New Year.
We had done the same Christmas as usual.
I don’t think I could have been brave for others,I feel I would have been hyper.
Better not to have known.
Now 88 I may be facing it but I don’t know so I won’t dwell.
Happy, happy Christmas Blossoming and all.

Oh Blossoming.... Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Just came back on to read more posts from GN's. Best laid plans etc., I strtuggled to wrap an awkward present to take to someone today, managed to get most of the shopping I needed and came home and got the washing out and then went on the yellow peril to Upfront, as by then I judged that the roads were so crazy it would be safer doing that. So after all my effort, unfortunately she was working at home as she is not at all well,

I came back home and began to do a bit of sorting out, but fell asleep for at least half an hour, and looking out now it is very grey and damp looking, so am going to go and get the washing from the line, dont think it will be much drier but should smell good from being outside. Then bed to make and general tidying up before I get down to some ironing and planning what I shall wearing over christmas. At the moment it could be anything from raining to very cold so have to have a few things. Somewhat miffed off after making sure that all the rubbish was sorted and put out last night to get back and none of it gone and no new bags left yet. Ah well I shall have radio 3 and 4 to keep me company while I iron, and plan to have a very simple and plain meal tonight before all the festive stuff begins. Glad to be home safe and away from the traffic and the chaos now. Hope everyone has managed to do the things they wanted to
