Santa Is Almost Due And I Have A Problem
But first tell me, what you want in your stocking? You better get your order in if you have not done so yet. Oh yes, Santa told me that an exceptional large number of people were disqualified this year for being naughty. So if you were naughty this year, don’t bother with the stocking. Sorry, he did not elaborate on what classifies as naughty.
Hmm, what do I want? Now that’s a tough question. I have more or less all the things that I want; well, at least those that I can afford. What I still yearn for is too expensive and too bulky to expect in my stocking. I believe Santa’s budget has been rather tight during the last few years.
It is very unlikely that anybody is going to buy me a red Lamborghini therefore I expect to get the usual shìt; deodorants, aftershave, underwear, socks and so on. These are all items that I’m very fussy on and I’ll probably pass it on to somebody else in the end.
And that brings me to the problem of what to buy for my father. He really has everything he wants. But even when he was younger I never knew what gifts to buy him. With my mother it was easy; flowers was always a winner with her but as she requested no flowers on her grave, there is no need for that anymore. But this does not bring me any closer to a solution.
So what do you buy for a 90 year old man whose only wish is to go softly in his sleep? I don’t know why he wishes for that because he’s still good for a few years. He enjoys a good lifestyle, has a special girl friend (I wonder if they do it
), plenty of other friends, plays Bridge once a week and he still drives his own car.
. We have been nagging him for a few years now to get rid of the car but he responded by buying a new car earlier this year. So I cannot even buy him a new set of tires; they’re almost brand new.
Anyway, bottoms up - enjoy whatever you're doing!

Books; dentafix; key-finder and a bottle of bourbon.
Sorted
I'l have to check. last I spoke to him he was into reindeer. He said horses are too finicky. but you never know, I'll ask him. but have you been a good girl? He's very strict this year.
Me giving you bad ideas made you think of a good one
I don't think the key finder was a bad Idea. I'm going to look for one tomorrow. And I don't know yet if the Bluetooth speakers is a good idea but he was somewhat impressed when I showed him how mine worked.
Though he's not really into gadgets.
They can be attached to other items too. And there is a base you can press to locate them. They work with some phones too.
There was enough to do on the the house to keep me occupied for a good while (and more to do), but decided to tackle it next year. Costs about as much as I spend for my last car
So someone will spend a week with a digger around the house, take out the hedge, get a fence around the place and hopefully the garden will be a place to sit outside and enjoy in 2019 and not just something that is just a heap of work.
All else is going well and hopefully will keep going as it is.
I'm a bit confused now. how do you activate it, Not by remote, I hope because I'll mislay the remote all the time.
I'm pleased to find you well. I really thought that you have eloped!
