A praying mantis holding up Christmas lights, just part of a collection of Christmas gifts I’m getting ready to post to friends in Australia . It’s a tradition I’ve kept for years now.
Sending odd Christmas decorations in the post….its comforting as it is regular .
I had lunch with Chis Eleanor…soup and a cheese panini and we put the world to rights.
It’s lovely to be called darling, several times…in a conversation .
It’s a treat.
I wish it happened to everyone, every day
To be referred to as someone’s darling,……
Who needs a praying mantis holding Christmas lights? I do!!
ReplyDeleteYes, having someone call you darling, knowing they love you. Everyone should have that. xx
Send me your address and I’ll send u one
DeleteThank you, but I'd feel guilty doing that. Buy yourself one and think of me! xx
DeleteWhat an adorable decoration!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and the furry ones.
Stay safe & well, John dear.
Xx🩷🥂🙏
DeleteWhat a cute decoration and am sure your Aussie friends will love it! My dear Aussie quilting friend and sister died in early September and I will miss her forever.
ReplyDeleteYes, endearments like 'darling' warm the heart.
May the rest of your day be as joyful as your lunch with Chic Eleanor!
Hugs!

I took Roger with me to collect my next counselling client contacts, he sat on the knee of a nervous client waiting to be seen
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea and I'm sure Roger helped your client be calmer.
DeleteI once read that dogs are ideal at counselling, they just free-lance!
Hugs!
The door-greeter at the store I do groceries once a week always wishes me at leaving: 'have a wonderful day, darling'. Last week I told him I always look forward to hearing him say that. It makes my day .. and I think that made his!

DeleteI'm imagining how fun it must be for the posted ornaments recipients, Whatever did John send this year! Great tradition. And the P Mantis is great.
ReplyDeleteI send them to my old family friends nia et al in Sydney and to my old friend Kathryn in Derbyshire
DeleteThat is one great and very original Christmas decoration.

DeleteI'll remember to incorporate more "my darlings" into conversations. Up to now it's only been Handsome, Gorgeous, and Sweetie-pie. And I know how good it feels to be addressed in these ways.
ReplyDeleteI could live without cutie pie
DeleteOr sweetie pie
DeleteI love the mantis decoration!
ReplyDeleteAnd to called somebody 's darling. A precious thing
Both, a treat

ReplyDeleteWho designed a Christmas mantis?
DeleteI often call my children my darlings. They are, you know.
ReplyDeleteOf course they are dearHeart x
DeleteI have never seen such a whimsical ornament. How cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever been called 'darling'. It is something that has never occurred to me until your post.
I found it lovely
