Hello Bloggets. A busy week. Not working this week just
playing. End of last week, I went to a
huge Christmas craft fair with my friends. It was packed. We did the coffee
break as one of the ladies Ann has to take a flask and give everyone their very
own cup. Mine has palm trees on it. She makes me laugh as she always says the
same thing. “Everyone out of four of us has their own cups so if we want
another cup, we know whose cup is who’s.””
The funny thing is, there’s never enough coffee left to have
another cup. Hahaha. Her heart is big though. I do feel so sorry for her. I think
she may get used, though she does have a huge bite if she gets a hold of
something. But it’s getting her to get a hold of the right things/people?
I bought some beautiful glass Christmas tree ornaments. They
are so delicate.
I got some amazing candles. One smells like lemongrass the
other is blueberry and vanilla and the third is my favourite, it’s one I bought
last year. Gingerbread.
It was three stories of Christmas gifts and food. And the
top floor is a restaurant. There were thousands of people there. After three
hours of shopping, I was exhausted. Oh, it was embarrassing. There was a
leather belt stall. I asked the man if he had a belt with a nice buckle. It was
for Hub for Christmas. He replied, all our buckles are nice…. Silly man. I asked
if he could show me? He said yes. Well, as he handed me a belt, he knocked his
whole rack over. Hahahaha. I shouldn’t laugh, but 1, he should be able to hand
a belt to someone without knocking his stock over. And 2, he shouldn’t have
been cocky about his belt buckles, especially because they were the most boring
buckles ever and as for the belts? Oh my, plain and simple. Well I handed him
his belt back bending down to him on the ground as the poor man grabbed all of
his belts. Normally I would have felt so bad, but I just thought he was
arrogant.
Oh, there was a lovely man selling some stunning carved
driftwood houses. They were fisherman cottages with a small boat and the detail
was amazing. But they were tiny. And so expensive.
Thursday night we
went to the pub with our friends and on Saturday out again to watch some live
music and have a delicious meal, again with friends. On Sunday, we went with my
dear girl Friday to a huge Christmas market. Firstly, though she needed to swap
an item of clothing at a shop. When she was otherwise occupied, she left me at
the ladies clothing racks. Well I managed to find myself a beautiful warm long
winter jumper. It’s so pretty but the best bit is, it’s thick and it was so reasonably
priced.
The market had a ladies singing group, singing Christmas
songs. They were lovely. The smells were stunning. Cinnamon, cloves, oranges
and more. My girl Friday was great at describing things to me. She is sweet and
we met friends there too. So, a perfect day in fact a full crafty week.
Hub and I had a lovely day and spent the evening with our
Son and Shamrock.
And now back to normality, a dreadful meeting today and
tomorrow. Our plumber on Wednesday and first day out again for fun on Thursday,
though not sure where yet. And a quiet three weekends for the next few weeks
ahead, no plans. I think we will be wrapping parcels for Christmas. This is
the first year ever I won’t be going crazy over Christmas. Normally the outside
of my house is like those American movies we all love. I have everything
outside in my front garden. As for my house? It’s like a winter wonderland. But
this year is different. There has been so many losses for our little family
this year and I’m so not feeling it! Who knows maybe I will change my mind, if
you read back at my previous Christmas’s, you will see how I loved our
decorating lighting up the street? Our neighbours used to laugh as we can’t see
but we had the most lights and decs.
I will light a candle for all we have loved and for all
those who have gone from our earth life and I think that will be the only light
we have on this year. Again, let’s see.
December will be full of elections in the UK. God help us.
In our news 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 in the UK are
at risk of malnutrition. Older people need to take in more calories. Protein is
essential!
Climate change now. people are being encouraged not to fly
abroad for a year. To help our environment. Do you think we are capable to do
that? Did you hear about Sweden? They are said to have the best recycling system,
so good they have ran out of rubbish. This is brilliant, A lovely proud country
to be a part of, though not many people and very wealthy too, so, if any one
can do it, they can?
That is one of the countries I would love to visit. In the
future, far future.
Canada has lost 3 billion birds since 1970. Gosh this is
really bad.
Our Prince Andrew is in deep trouble. Over the weekend, he
dug himself in a bigger hole than what he was already in.
Hong Kong, gosh what will happen there? It’s like a horror
movie watching our news.
Today is the birthday of a couple of Bloggets Allen and Honorato
and it would have been Sylvia Plath’s 87th birthday too.
Silvia Plath
She was a poet and novelist.
died when she was only 30. She was American but
came to England to live and it is there where she is now buried. Sadly, she
ended her own life. After so many, too many years of deep depression
I studied her when I was taking my English exam and though
she didn’t write my style of poetry, I adored her work, those who know me, will
understand why I like Plath’s poetry, its dark and deep. My kind of poem, just
not style.
Well wherever you are Sylvia, I hope you are now happy.
Eating the nicest birthday cake and making wishes and dreams
come true.
If it’s your birthday today, happy birthday to you too!
