We don’t have many people to buy presents for nowadays. Our sons are miles away and we usually give them gift cards as postage is so expensive and more and more unreliable.
But I bought this gardening set for my sister-in-law. There are gardening gloves, secateurs, a kneeling pad and some tools. We are going there for Christmas dinner. It’s supposed to get to 42°C sometime today.
In the meantime, I wish all my friends a wonderful Christmas. I should have posted this yesterday and I know many will be too busy to log on to myLot today. But the good wishes are still flying out my door.

Merry Christmas!
I can't offer you any cooler weather this time. It's 22.2C here today. But that still beats 107F! Are you sure you and Vince wouldn't like to take a Christmas holiday trip and come here?

@JudyEv We’re hovering around 7C, it’s just after 8 and still dark and we’re about to set out for Church for a Christmas sing. When we get back we’ll suffer an invasion of angelic grandchildren for one hour then, in the quiet gloom relieved by twinkling Christmas tree lights, we’ll sit down to lamb roasted in a garlic, anchovy and rosemary paste.

Thank you. It's 41C at the moment but still supposed to go up to 42C. It's okay. We have plenty of cold drinks.

Merry Christmas
I know the feeling. It's just me and my mom together. And to make it sad, eversince I got sick I haven't been working regularly. I'm sad, that I still couldn't work so I couldn't buy my mom a present. The only present I could give her is to bake and cook for her.

@JudyEv thank you. Yes, she does but I feel bad I couldn't do much. I'm supposed to be the one to help her but instead she's the one doing it.

They look good but I don't do gardening now.
Merry Christmas.

@JudyEv It was very quiet and uneventful but nice.
