I
am realising that I am very tired. We're doing our Festive Family Fun days at
work again, for local non-residents, so we are encountering people from The
Outside World again, not just folk on holidays, and even though we're just
repeating (mostly) what we did last year, it's still stressful and I still want
it to go well for everyone. So it's a bit exhausting.
On a positive note, though, it's lovely to see
the excited little ones, and our Father Christmas this year is an amazing Santa,
and I feel so very, very Christmassy already, even though we're not even into
the 20s date-wise yet!
Mathew is very excited about his birthday, and it's all planned and in place. He's
having the same party as last year, which feels a bit lazy on our front, but he
was so thrilled by the whole thing in 2023 and he was so overwhelmed when we
told him he could do the same again, so I'm finishing work early on Friday and
we're taking him and several friends to the soft-play emporium for fun and
food. Saturday will be a day for him to relax and recover at home and have
several family visitors (while I am at work) then on Sunday Philippa will be
bringing him and Rian onsite, as I've booked them in for our Fun Day.
I have to say that I can't wait to see the new Wallace and Gromit TV special on
Christmas Day, and it gives me an excuse to watch all the old ones in
preparation, and to introduce Mathew to them as well, in a lovely
father-and-son sharing Yuletide activity. He's always loved Shaun the Sheep,
and I think he might be old enough now to appreciate the wonders of W&G. I
might even show him 'Curse of the Were-Rabbit' if Philippa agrees it won;t
scare him.
This posting has been a real collection of weird thoughts and comments, spouted
onto the page at different times of day in between other tasks, so sorry if it's
a bit scatty and spouty. But what the Hell - Christmas is supposed to be a time
for spouts.
Oh no, my mistake, that's SPROUTS.
