2nd October, 2025.
Right …
It’s officially Thursday.
And … ?
It’s going to be a quiet day with little to do.
Bar picking up some bits from the pharmacists.
Test strips for the blood sugar monitor I’ve got.
With Christmas coming up … ?
I’m reminded of something my Aunty Bella used to do, at this time of year.
She use to collect empty pots: empty film roll pots, the ones you’d keep still camera film, in … and fill them with pound coins she could give away as Christmas gifts.
She’s usually wrap them in Christmas paper: so the pots would resemble crackers.
The things would usually only have £10 or so in them: depending on what coins she put in.
But they were handy amounts of cash, amounts that could, if nothing else, be used to do some light shopping.
They were stocking fillers, in other words.
What struck me, the last time I was in the chemists?
Was that the pots that held the test strips were a similar size to the film roll pots.
And that Christmas is closer than we imagine.
Thank you, Aunty Bella …
