@queenrollo I really felt for you after reading your post on Monday. My eldest DC is home from uni and that image you shared of yours falling asleep resonated with me.
I’ve also had that experience of asking for something and not being heard. It’s a difficult thing to raise when your nearest and dearest believes they are giving from the heart but it isn’t landing right with you, as the recipient.
@VioletCharlotte it was sunshine and blue skies for us on Boxing Day, too. I hope DC’s and DS2’s GF have recovered. My eldest DS came home full of cold and is still coughing. Luckily we haven’t succumbed!
@speakout your Christmas Day sounded pretty eventful with OH’s situation. I once got a segment of ugly fruit stuck in my windpipe and every time my throat contracted juice squirted out of my mouth! Hilarious but I was actually choking. I hope you get your simplified dinner next year.
The singing bowl sounds are incredible, aren’t they? I don’t have one but I love them.
@Trenzalor I hope you had a better night’s sleep. I’m learning that sometimes those we’ve lost do ‘pop in’ from time to time.
@Hedjwitch loving the name change!
Ours was a lovely Christmas. Just DH, me and our 2 DCs which is how it’s been for years as our parents have passed away. A friend popped in Christmas Day evening, which was lovely. We have lunch out on Boxing Day as DH cooks Christmas dinner.
The weather here since Boxing Day has been rubbish so I’ve vegged on the sofa each afternoon watching the BBC adaptation of Miss Marple, played by Joan Hickson, on DVD. It’s a staple of mine each year whilst drinking tea and eating warmed shortbread. It’s cosy and comforting. I’ll phase out the treats and start reintroducing the healthy food soon.
Sending love and blessings to all.
