I worked last night and went straight into university this morning. Surprisingly my presentation went well, well enough for me to feel somewhat christmasy at teatime.
So much so that I bought a miniature Christmas Tree from Sainsbury’s on my way home.
Bun was intrigued from the get go and watched the lights through narrow eyes before turning her back on it.
Weaver just ignored it and sat under the sofa with a Christmas reindeer in her gob. One of the gifts I need to send to my friend Nia in Australia tomorrow.
I’m off the 20th of December to the 28th and I’ve filled most days with something nice, whether it be meeting my friend Nigel in Chester, and then my friend Colin for a concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic, or having friends Nick and the velvet voiced Linda over for dinner alongside Chic Eleanor.
I am also catching up with the family on Christmas Day after seeing a film at the Picturehouse on Christmas Eve Day ( instead of doing nothing) The film Christmas Eve at Miller’s Point looks just up my street. Oh I want to see the traditional barrel rolling in Denbigh on Boxing Day and on the 27th it’s Wicked and lunch with my friend Ruth
Your little tree looks so cheerful as it lights up the window.
ReplyDeleteI may even start to feel festive soon...perhaps in December...
I love the look of the tree from outside
DeleteIt’s cheerful x
What a charming wee tree and it shares its light with your home and passersby. How festive!
ReplyDeleteWell done in doing well on your presentation right after getting off a night shift.
Sweet dreams!
Hugs!
Thank you babs
DeleteYou will have a very merry Christmas season! Great that your presentation went well today. The tiny tree is so cute. Time to get out the string of flamingo lights too.
ReplyDeleteThe positives of today arevEXACTLY what I needed
DeleteIt is so nice to have those days off, something to look forward to. https://youtu.be/QJ5DOWPGxwg?si=OLPYMOEyFEb9eDqP
ReplyDeleteMr Buble yum
DeleteGlad the presentation went well. You've got some great plans for the holidays. You'll need a rest after all that!
ReplyDeleteI see Bun and Weaver aren't too fussed about Christmas, although you might have to get Weaver her own reindeer! xx
Weaver forgot herself yesterday and sat on me in bed
DeleteOh, yes! Cuddles await. xx
Delete'Tis the season. Merry and bright, especially after a great presentation. Love your new tree.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some good plans for your time off. It's all about family and friends that are important to you. Lovely.
And to make sure it happens instead of waiting for it to happen
DeleteThat sounds like a well deserved break.
ReplyDeleteIt does I agree , I totally agree
DeleteOMG love the tree!
ReplyDeleteYou may have inspired me and I may put out something holiday-adjacent...
And that sound like a super cool break!!
XOXO
Let’s see your tree? Xxx
DeleteI am always impressed by your ability to do nice things, not only for others but importantly for you.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired
Lee
Really? That’s nice x
DeleteSounds like a very festive week. Enjoy yourself.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first Christmas holiday with no shifts over the holiday until the 28th, how good is that
DeleteYour little Christmas tree
ReplyDeleteis adorable,💜🌲 Mary
It’s sweet
DeleteYou've planned a fun Christmas break. Good for you, John! My son is taking me to see Wicked this Saturday. I haven't been to a movie in years and years so it should be exciting.
ReplyDeleteSearch for "Christmas my work here is done." Black cat and tree meme. :-)
ReplyDeleteAmazed that the twins haven’t destroyed the little tree. Your plans sound great. I can’t wait to see the film Wicked.
ReplyDeleteI guess that if you can do it, I should too, that is put out my tiny lighted Christmas tree. Good that you feel your presentation went well. I am so proud of what you are achieving. Well done. Your holiday plans sound like fun times with family and good friends. Gigi
ReplyDeleteThe tree is very cute. I'm in two minds whether to bother with a tree at all this year. It seems a faff for just two people.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing any size lit tree in a window. It's very calm and peaceful looking I find.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteSounds like you've got a fun, activity-filled Christmas period to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteAn upbeat day! We need days like this always. A Christmas tree in the window is charming and I love them. The plans for your time off are great and I hope you will have fun, and also a restful time with those dear to you.
ReplyDeleteMy only essential at Christmas is watching 'Carols from Kings' on TV. Your itinerary would have me flat on my back.
ReplyDeleteMy ex husband’s favourite
DeleteIt sounds like you'll be having quite a busy festive season. I hope you scheduled some time to enjoy a nap in front of the fire. Xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a dinky tree and yet it still has lights. There must be a lesson there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love your little tree.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that you have lots of activities planned for your time off work over Christmas. Carole R.
It’s healthy
DeleteI'm glad your presentation went well. I guess that doing it straight after a night shift meant that you didn't have time to worry about it or feel the need to make last minute alterations, sometimes when we just go straight in it turns out so much better.
ReplyDeleteI love your little tree, I fall for buying one almost every year so I have a forest of 'little' trees in pots and troughs all over my garden,. Luckily I left some behind in Wales so it doesn't look too much like a forest for gnomes here ... yet!!
I wish u still lived close
