Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I never assumed my offspring was an automatic inclusion to such events. Mind you, back then kids were seen but not heard in a very different way to today's expectations. I know watching them at my favourite deli cafe I have to make sure my eyebrows stay firmly on the level. They seem to want to climb along with the volume of some children demanding fluffies and other treats.

I am definitely turning into a grumpy old woman, lol...

We all received an invitation in our letter boxes to a street garden afternoon tea party - 4pm to 7pm for all the neighbours and her art group to get together and fund raise for the hospice -  to wear your best party dress - no alcohol - we have had numerous street parties which she has attended there are very few children in our street .A party company arrived in the morning and decorated the garden with big blow up pink flamingos that swayed in the wind - strings of coloured circles between the trees they were beautiful  and lots of other stuff not Christmasy - must say the canapés were bloody lovely - I followed the trays of food around - I found it sad seeing the children coming to the gate all dressed up and being told no - her art is superb

Absolute beautiful apricots available I thought they may have been dry as we have had no rain - cherries are the same .We had brief rain on Wednesday so hard some shops were flooded then straight back to hot and windy .My son breeds those sheep you don’t shear - his lambs are all going to their new homes today three weeks early but he is fast running out of grass - thank goodness they don’t go to the meatworks - one special one my foster grandson has taken a shine to is allowed to stay - she follows him around like a dog even sits on a chair in the tack room - plays tug of war with his lab - she thinks she is a dog -

I left the previous small and excellent practice because I had a really unpleasant encounter with a manipulative practice nurse who I am sure has a screw loose, she gaslit me something rotten after my hip replacement, so soon as I could I registered elsewhere. And yup, she's moved and is now at my current docs. Buggeration.

Next appointment I may have a quiet word with the doc to make sure we never cross paths if it can be helped.

Funny thing though, she has now worked for every practice in the area, and I am not the only one with stories to tell.

ARGHHHHH!

I just do not understand human beings some days, despite being one.
