Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news 19: Calmly through the day

I’m glad all went well yesterday @Silkieschickens. I hope you have a good recovery now and are able to enjoy Christmas with your family. How is your DS now that you have had the operation?

Startling news.... I have my Yodel parcel

Admittedly I had to box the driver in on somebody else's drive in order to wrestle it from his clutching hands while he adamantly insisted he knew where our house was, but at least I got it

@Champagneforeveryone Congratulations!

DD once stood in the street next to our bell watching the delivery driver not attempting to ring, sending a message that she was not in and he had delivered to a neighbour. She asked him about it and he ran away from her! He had handed her parcel to a neighbour he met two houses up the road.

Sorry about gerbil Acorns.

Feel fine though not slept in about 3 days, have had to drink masses of water but should be better now. Dh just made me hot dogs and drink in paper party cup as radioactive still, felt like at kids party. Will try and sleep now.

Online Asda shop, they’ve no £6 frozen turkey (the cook from frozen type that usually£3 before Dec), told my adult son whose coming round in the 22nd for Xmas dinner we’re having rat instead and he said brilliant can he have a leg

Have had a madly busy but v productive day, it’s included a booster jab so feeling good! Productiveness is due to chore completion, too dull to list even here!

DH is looking after me very well, DD got dinner for DS whilst I was in surgery, DS does not know I had operation as he gets sad but came back when he was in living room, rabbit got hyper on my return so asked DS to distract him as I was half comatosed from general still and ds gave him a chip that made he moved and solved issue. Silkiecat has been sitting like the queen high up on recliner boxes glaring at rabbit. DD is after my recliner, fluffy onesie and fleece bedding and cushions. Its lovely and soft though I am so hot.

So glad you are being cosseted and cared for!

Great that you are in your recliner!!!!

To report from my exciting life:
I have cleaned the kitchen, cold bathroom, booked boosters for DCs one after the other so DD can take care of DS. DS has agreed to let me vacuum is room (the sound is painfulfor him). DH has dealt with the three boxes of books and we have taken down the recycling (paper, plastic, bio)

@Silkieschickens - all best to you and hope your recovery goes well - In a bizarre way Christmas is a time for putting your feet up with a supportive family

I wish you all well & A peaceful Christmas to you - Basilisk x

& in other news new puppy has decided to open the Christmas presents - I wrapped them up as best I could and put them under the tree - it is carnage. He had to go into his crate after that.

Had a lovely day at the local seaside 😀. It was beautiful very warm and walked around without a coat.

Hope you’re ok Silkie

@Lemonsandlemonade Lovely!!!!!

Lemons that is beautiful!

The DC are watching the Strictly final and getting over-excited now the actual dancing has finished and it’s the waiting for the result bit.

Beautiful pictures, Lemons.

I went grocery shopping this morning with DD to make sure she had plenty of whatever she wanted to eat in the house. I then wrapped presents, had a nap, and made bacon. It's raining here, so we will get a takeaway for dinner.

That sounds very cosy silkies, and it is getting colder now.
I am on pins at the moment, hoping my parents can come from England for Christmas or will someone get Covid.....
I went on a lovely, soothing walk this afternoon.

Looks lovely sprouts !

@HelenaJustina thought dancing was of a very high standard.

Made a video on one second a day app a snap shot each day of ds that I’ll continue for first year one day I hope to give it him to watch.

Last night had dream that I could have ten minuets with my Dad in the dream I ran into his arms and he hugged me like he did and started to ask why did he have to die. On the word die DS woke up which is unlike him. Sometimes I really miss Dad.

Oh no Basilisk, it's a good job he's so cute!

Lemons that scenery is beautiful. The one second a day of your DS will be so nice to look back on.

Silkie glad to hear you're being well looked after.

I've had a lovely day, breakfast with Santa this morning and a nice walk then a calm afternoon playing games and watching a Christmas film, followed by Strictly final (although my DC got a bit overexcited with it like yours Helena !)

Evening all.

My thrilling news for this week is ordering an additional recycling bin and it being delivered two days later.

Sounds like I've missed a lot. Wishing you well @Silkieschickens

Lemons those dreams can be so vivid and piercing, can't they? I lost a parent last year so I know just what you mean.

DH and I are going to attempt to go away to a place near family for Christmas, although it now looks increasingly as though we won't be able to spend the day with them anyway. Regardless, my Saturday was spent doing a million and one things to get organised for going tomorrow.

DH never quite grasps just how much has to be planned when you go away, and that you can't just throw things in the car on the morning. I've now ticked pretty much everything off my list, however, so I feel cautiously optimistic.

I also now have a huge bruise on my leg, souvenir of my faceplanting escapade yesterday, and everything aches. Still, it could have been much worse.

@HildaTablet yes they are! My DH is the same re going away.

@Acornsandleaves I am lucky to live in a lovely part of world.

DS has horrible cough 😳

Beautiful pictures Lemons and Sprouts

Thanks everyone and welcome back Rhubarb Hope you are OK.

I managed a bit of sleep in day and took the compression stockings off for night and have slept 5 hours or so, the recliner makes you move so think its ok. Not much pain still, could almost manage without anything but said to keep taking so will.

We had ikea meatballs, mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam for dinner.

I returned my TU order that turned up too late for my night out

@Silkieschickens do you have to keep the compression stockings on for long?

I remember being told to keep them on for 10 days after section. They were grim as it was a heatwave and my feet and legs were frankly sweating.

Hope everyone are still looking after you well.

That’s so annoying @thismeansnothing.

Ds has a cold and was up a bit coughing in the night.

I started chomping into a satsuma which was black in the middle. 😳🤢
