Perfect gifts – edited from week-to-go to Got one! last comments
There was a joke suggestion on FB re the perfect Christmas gift for writers so naturally I re-posted it on the spot but it got me thinking. Perfect gifts cost the giver nothing but time and a bit of thought, and delight the receiver.What else qualifies as a perfect gift? A bunch of wild flowers is the only other one I can think of. Nice but a bit – boring. There have to be other things in this crass commercial world which have no cash price yet are priceless. When we were kids, hell, easy – parents finding time to play a game of our choosing with us was the best gift of all.
Tough to work out what someone else would like. Perhaps there’s something real and achievable you’d really prefer to a pair of socks or another woolly or silky scarf for your collection. If you could share, that’ll give us all ideas
And yeah the grownup version of ‘finding time to play with us’ would go down well but not all of us have someone to oblige
Off to school, where a good rating from a student means a bonus for me, so I’m sorted with my wish for today . . .

They are very 'real'. They generally have a good sense of humour, have a good rounded education (and I don't mean just formal education), have usually travelled and are pretty genuine all-round good guys.
Added to my wishlist
Wife is a concert pianist.
She sometimes fills in as musician at a little church.
Absolutely incredible. Never would've guessed such sounds were in a piano.
Anyway.
They have quite a story, too.
Daughter had health issues; they were allowed to leave Cuba to get treatment for her in So. America.
They slipped away & made their way to Murka & gained asylum under the old 'Wet Foot/Dry Foot Policy'.
Obama discontinued that policy.
A mistake, IMO.
Wrong Blog!
But he’s not a thoroughbred or purebred. More of a half-breed mutt!
Art is so gonna kill me now
I miss those superheroes movies where there were less CGI in them. Remember Superman with Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder?
Anyway, I like these 2 songs in Aquaman though.
MiMi already know what you’d be getting MiMi for Christmas!
This!
Just for the record, MiMi ain’t no snow digger!
Coz MiMi is a gold digger!!!!
One of the things I was happiest to leave in Scotland was my snow shovel
Art said MiMi won’t be able to make snow angels coz MiMi’s no ‘angel’
