a Christmas lunch cancelled...

Just now cancelled Thursday Christmas lunch at The Heritage, Balnarring with a friend + her daughter. My friend + I agreed that the place is quite popular and therefore the Christmas season is not a good time to be there sadly.
Looks like 2022 promises to begin with hibernation.

Christmas cards in retrospect?...

PASSING THOUGHT: I think, for the first time ever, my Christmas cards will be written in retrospect...after Christmas...before New Year?
I'm hoping, in that small window of time, I may find some Happy Christmas spirit... replacing the fears that seem to have taken up residence...

sleepwalking into Omicron...

Just watched this video...to the end...
It's confronting...
But it reaches out,+offers pandemic realities beyond the political sideshow...
This guy's a professional, but he connects with people...
Spend some time...
You may save your Christmas + beyond...https://t.co/1r67gnaYsU

songs that raise the chills...

KD Lang and Jane Siberry's song...'Calling All Angels'...

once treasured clutter...

PASSING THOUGHT: Knew my addictive storage of re-usable plastic bags would come in handy someday...
And that day is right now...
So much 'once treasured clutter' is finding a new home at the Salvos...
(My car is loaded)...
Must reduce the packing nightmare...
AND so cleansing... pic.twitter.com/oWqFfxGE89
