No one to talk to
Mum keeps telephoning because she’s got no one to talk to. Usually when she travels she talks to me on the journey. Without me there she says that she’s got no one to talk to. Obviously, talking to herself in an empty car would make her seem a little made, but when I’m there, talking to her dog is fine. I’ve been a pretty good listener for the last ten years, so I can see the problem. At least she’s managed to arrive at her destination without my navigational skills to help. Now all she needs to do it get her Covid vaccination and start the drive home again.
Christmas tree
Mum is planning to go to buy our Christmas tree next week. I’ve asked if that’s wise. To be honest, I just can’t see Pebbles leaving it alone. The temptation is going to be far too great. I’m not sure if she will want the tree itself or the things that hang from it, either way I do wonder how sensible the whole idea is. Mum is wondering about getting Pebbles’ indoor puppy pen out. She isn’t planning to put Pebbles in it, but it might work to put it around the tree. It could look a little odd, but might be the best idea. Now we just need to work out where it should go. Maybe the garden room is the best option as Pebbles never goes in there unattended.
Christmas decorations
We need to get all the decorations down from the loft and put the lights up outside too. I know Mum still has 1700 lights up outside, but trust me there are a lot more to join them. I think it’s all part of Mum’s way of getting through winter. The rate we’re going it will be as though the sun never sets on our house.
Love and licks
