Present Problem... Solved👍

[AndrewT]

Dear All,

Bearing in mind that, my Mother, is now quite Old, lives in a 'Semi-Sheltered' Block of Flats, is always buying herself clothes (especially Tops & Shoes), doesn't need any 'gadgets' for her home- I got her a lovely 'Cottage Clock', for Mother's Day- just what DO I get her for Christmas? All I can say is 'Thank You Sir Cliff', for that new Album, of yours......😊🤗 Brilliant. I left his 'Through The Decades' DVD, at my Mother's too- I Took it Round, for her to Watch, and then- sort of- 'forgot'- to take it back.... you understand. (Easily Done, after all!)

The Both, of us, WILL go 'out' After Christmas (and hopefully Covid too) and Buy, each other, more Substantial Presents. (I need pants, and socks, for a start.....)

'Uncle' Google has already Delivered, to my Father & Step Mother and, since I can buy those 'odd' presents nearer the time, I think that's about it.

I certainly Don't need Cards, apart from a few 'Family' ones, I bought Loads, in the January Sales.... and Boy am I glad that I did! Beautiful 'Four Mix' packs, of Snow Scenes, Wrapping Paper- complete with Ties & Cards- along with Gold & Silver plastic 'Paper' and ALL for about a Fiver! (I'm Talking, Packs marked at £4, going for a Pound- or less!)

Christmas Dinner is 'Booked', via one of my Mothers Neighbours, he is a Retired Chef. I believe he is 'Charging', about £20, to £25 each- which I will pay. (I might, ensuring I wear a Mask, 'Shoot' over the Shop and buy another bottle of their Chardonnay- which is surprisingly good, especially for the price.) One of the local Café / Restaurants is Supplying the meal Boxing Day and I have a 'Chilli', in the freezer, for Christmas Eve. (I might even persuade, my Mother, to open another Bottle of that- Absolutely Dreadful- Champagne.... or NOT, as the case maybe!)

I 'Sound' Organised, don't I.... Sound! De-barring any 'Major' Muck Ups, I think, that we Should be alright.....🤞. If I don't get, the Chance, to say this elsewhere...

Merry Christmas, One And All..... HO, HO, HO🎅
