Christmas #2 by happypat

Christmas #2

We got our Christmas parcel today from #1 son & DIL today.
We were dog minding Connie today so waited until after we had taken her home & had our tea.
Lovely treats & it was lovely opening them.
The post from NZ is very erratic at the moment as no one is allowed to visit so I’m presuming not many planes going to Auckland.

Three good things:
1. We love watching train journey programmes on the TV...makes a change from Covid news!
2. Another stunning day without a cloud in the sky.
3. Antifreeze spray for the car window screen. We aren’t used to having frozen windows but only a carport here. We have managed to squeeze both cars front ends under cover tonight.
Ooh what a delight to open this!

Worth waiting for Pat - a twelfth night surprise!
I quite feel like a chocolate tonight after hearing the news!

@lucycameron It’s dreadful isn’t it...hope Malcolm’s job isn’t being made more difficult!

@casablanca Among other stuff were a pair of beautiful stud earrings made out of recycled gin bottles...looks like Bombay Sapphire bottles as they are a beautiful translucent colour!

Looks like a fun box of goodies

How exciting! Graham has started watching a programme about walks on BBC4 each evening at 7. Between you and me, I'm finding it rather dull 🤫

How exciting, and what lovely wrapping paper. Yes we love the train programmes too, especially when we can't travel. It's pure escapism

Sometimes the presents that arrive after Xmas are the best - you can concentrate on them. Kerry (Manchester) just got the present we sent to her - sent on 1st December!

@maggiemae There you are maggie, they probably all came on the same plane! Cathy got her parcel today too & I know Lesley will have posted them in very good time. We also got a Christmas card too.

@jantan A bit slow moving...you can’t see much walking...trains are quicker! 🤣😘😘

@judithg Well now you say that yes....I forgot it was the Epiphany today.

@busylady The presenters are usually quite fun too.

@beryl They were Beryl....nice surprises!

How lovely to have a 'late' parcel to open. And special treats. I need to post treats to both our girls but the queue at the shop where the post office is now is very off putting!!
How long till normal returns??
I love any alternative to Covid news too. Escape to the country is a treat.

I think it would be nice to receive late gifts, especially with the very gloomy times the UK is having at the moment.
January 7th, 2021  
nice
January 7th, 2021  
Awww

How neat to extend Christmas.

@happypat yes Bombay Gin bottle 🥰
January 7th, 2021  
How exciting and lovely for it to arrive a little after xmas.. makes it more special.. lots of kiwi treats.
January 7th, 2021  
What a treat, you can have a second Christmas.
January 7th, 2021  
Shame was delayed, but nice to get post-Christmas treats :-)
January 7th, 2021  
Oh, an exciting gift from abroad. How lovely!
January 7th, 2021  
How fun to have Christmas all over again!
January 7th, 2021  
@floralchicknz Wonderful, my favourite!
January 7th, 2021  
@sarah19 We’ve been watching that too if we get out walk done in time...new ones on too! Yes too many queueing puts you off!
January 7th, 2021  
Lovely to have a second round of opening presents!
January 7th, 2021  
Lovely shot. Bet you had Lovely surprises for presents. I'm sure the note was not required as you tore off the wrapping immediately you received the parcels.
January 7th, 2021  
Ooh...great fun when a parcel arrives after its 'due' date...extending joy and fun foe a little longer.
January 7th, 2021  
Nice surprise

A delayed delivery just extends the holiday fun! Our mail is pretty much off the rails too. Amazon amazes me with their delivery efficiency when other delivery sources are bogged down by the pandemic.

What a sweet fun gift. We are watching anything but our national news right now. For many reasons.
January 8th, 2021  
I imagine that gift would be welcome any day ☺️👍
