On this 4th day of December, 2018, I write to you
from my office at home just starting to thaw out after coming in from the home
of Jack Frost. Trying to write with fingers wrapped around a cup of coffee, isn’t
a good idea.
Doing last poems for people by Monday of next week. After
that, no more until next year. So, please if you are needing any written, email
me. Also, please keep your suggestions coming in for your favourite blog of
2018 and I shall let you know in order what you are all thinking by the end of
the year.
Gosh December is running away with me. Why can’t time be the
same every day, each day have the same
amount of time than the previous one did. Why do some days drag when there is
nothing to do but time flies when you have a lot to fix and prepare? It’s not
that time rushes because I am kept busy, because to be honest the things I need
to do are not getting done. I hoped this Christmas would be different. But sadly
not. Still life is a struggle. Still I shop mainly on line. I hoped to go to
shops out there in the big world. But Amazon is my friend once again. For Hub
it’s been eBay. Haha. Charming, but he keeps telling me that they don’t just
sell second hand items. He tried to get me to buy some vegan food for our son
the other day, em, no, why? I exclaimed. It’s eBay. God only knows where it’s
come from. But he reassures me that they are huge warehouses with hundreds of
thousands of products by shopping there, we just cut out the middle man. Right now,
I’m quite content with the middle man thank you.
I have an appointment in a couple of weeks and it has to be
done by taxi and I’m not looking forward to that. At least it’s somewhere not berried
in our town.
I have to go to my home place of Northumberland and visit
our dear friends to exchange gifts. Now, normally it would be OK but this year,
we are to bring back a Christmas cake. Normally I would post the gifts let’s
see if BW can take time to take us as he too wants to see our friends. He missed
out last year and he didn’t like it. But he has himself a right social life
this year. I’m really pleased to say he is going out twice, once with his
friends from school. I’m sure Sham will be going too… and his work Christmas
party. I’m happy to think he may have found himself a really good guy as a new
friend there, but it’s early days. At least where he is going it’s a lovely
hotel. He has to drive miles on two occasions to pick up Sham after her
parties. Well one work and one night out in a rough place with a girl she works
with. Both pick ups will be around midnight. So, combining him drinking one
night not driving for at least 12 hours after that and picking up Sham, our
time with him is going to be short. We are hoping to see our besties before Christmas
too. Not a good time to travel by trains at Christmas. Our Son also wants to
see someone from where he used to live so maybe we can Have
the train up there and he could pick us up? My brother in
law and sister in law are coming through too and I’m also hoping to see my
brother an sister in-law, also my Niece is coming through at some point. I still
have shopping to do for Christmas, and how many days are left before the big
day?
If I could see, I could have it all done in three days. Easy.
If you have sight, and have time away from dependents, please know how lucky
you are.
Hub made me laugh the other day as he wore something a new
shirt, it’s one my Son gave to Hub. He said one of his colleagues told him, in
that shirt, he looks like James bond. Haha, I rudely said he should have said,
more like Brooke Bond…. (A brand of tea in the UK)
James Bond’s 007 first gun is to go in auction. Gosh how
much will that sell for?
Talking of Hub and his looks, well, he was told at the
weekend when we were with family, he looked like Andrea Bocelli.
OK, I can handle that. Funny, I remember what Hub looked
like as a child, and in my head, I do have him looking like that wonderful man.
Wish he had his money.
Have you heard his new song with his Son? And his new album is called Sì
Now for screen readers, it’s not as in see, as in seeing, as
I thought. It’s I would guess the Italian word for yes… Guessing. But it is a
little funny and I’m sure was meant to make some, people think. I do love him
though.
Hub tells me he’s as in Andrea, is too old for me. Hahaha, well
excuse me, I think Hub forgets we are the age we are… it’s scary how many people as
a child I thought of as old, who are now ten, twelve or fifteen years older
than me.
. Of course they always were, just I’m an adult now, not a
child or teen or in my early twenties. Even
when we are for example, 21, 25, someone in their thirties seems so much older. As we get
older, we seem somehow to catch up.
But for now, Andrea shall be a voice I love and a memory of
his looks twenty years ago, but my absolute favourite singer now, who only if I
was single of course, and he had a charitable moment would be, not Michael
Buble, though I would never refuse a song from him, smile but it would be George Ezra.
Oh, my, I love him. I so badly wish I could go to a concert of his. Shamrock
tried to get tickets but sadly we were too late. Every song he has had out, I love.
His new album is called Staying at Tamara’s. Hang on a piggin cotton minute
Georgie boy, should that not have been Staying at Fiona’s?
And I shall leave you with that thought… and
talk tomorrow. In the meanwhile, smile and the world will smile with you.
