Popeye, I have a system for the great grandkids; they each get a book, a toy & an item of clothing. And if they have a sibling,then they get an 'unbirthday present' which is invariably a book.
I have to keep a notebook of who has which books so as not to duplicate, & make sure each family has a copy of Badjelly the witch, Walter the farting dog & Mog the forgetful cat, because they're so good.
Zipped out early,went to library & came out with just the two books I intended to get, then supermarket for potting mix & one of those fluffy dusters for high bits, had a coffee & then did a bit more digging out the back so feeling ever so virtuous now.
Talking about soaps & other things such as movies,books etc made me realise the answer to the question 'what do humans love more than asnything' is - stories.
Friday funnies,Minder & Blackadder bits.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
