There is no magic in it anymore , but the rarity of presents and new toys during the year did make Christmas very special ,mind you a new dressing gown and cosy slippers were a very good presents we thought - children get new toys as a matter of habit it seems nowadays - eg when in the supermarket for no reason at all.
Except their amazing mithering skills!
A very dull drizzly day here ,so am doing some Spring cleaning , nothing too heavy ,doors washed down,paint work etc .
It is not a dirty house, but my son comes in for his tea after perhaps working in his house for an hour or two, well I wish he would wash his hands there!
But no he comes here and washes them,touching doors etc on his way in and the white paint shows up every little mark ,I will have to smack his legs!
At least the gardens are having some refreshment ,the hot sun was a bit too much for young plants .
I had forgotten it was a bank holiday today ,the days and weeks all run in to one another, not much to mark things except hospital appointments .
Look after yourselves folks ,best wishes for some improvement to those with long term conditions and indeed anyone not well.
Cheerio, Viktoria.
