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!
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!

DeleteLovely, we all need x
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
DeleteCute 'n whimsical!
ReplyDeleteWho designed a Christmas mantis?
DeleteI often call my children my darlings. They are, you know.
ReplyDeleteOf course they are dearHeart x
DeleteI found it lovely
ReplyDeleteThe praying mantis holding Christmas lights is adorable. I want to tie a red ribbon/scarf around his sweet neck.
ReplyDeleteI like being called darling by someone I know and share fondness with; otherwise, not so much.
I call my children and grandchildren darling. I think here in Canada it is considered a bit odd but I don't give a fig.
ReplyDeleteI think that endearment would be nice to hear.... i may try that out on my Grandchildren... as of now they are Sweetie Pie lol I used to be Grandpa's Cookie... I think 'nicknames', endearments are special and make you feel special and everyone should be made to feel special some time in their life.. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteAnd that’s a darling praying mantis, darling!
ReplyDeleteLuv the Praying Mantis, must take a look in my local Sainsbury's. I like whimsical things now and then.
ReplyDeleteWish with all my heart that I still had my lovely husband to call me darling, though he did use another term of affection that I
miss so much and won't ever hear again. Sorry if I sound down, it's the thought of facing another Christmas on my own. I do decorate though and carry out all our traditions. Presents and lots of cuddles for the cats too.

ReplyDeleteGostou do que eu fiz?
ReplyDeleteIsso é para você aprender a não fazer queixinha sobre mim lá na coordenação da farmácia.
Por causa da sua queixinha, a coordenação da farmácia vazou as minhas informações pessoais para uma pessoa que nem me conhece.
Faz uma coisa, pega todas as suas provas e as suas testemunhas e vai numa delegacia.
Fala lá na delegacia que você passou colando em cálculo para farmácia usando o Photomath.
Fala que você colou na prova de assistência farmacêutica, graças à cola que a Maria Miceli que é namorada do Fabrício Pereira dos Santos Maia.
Você ainda trabalha na Farmoquímica, será que o pessoal da Farmoquímica sabe que você passa na prova colando?
