But is for others undiminished somewhere
Saturday, December 13th, 2025 09:07 pmGood heavens. I have a 'save the date' Christmas card/ wedding invite from my younger nephew and his fiancée. Next May. How very nice of them and do I have to go, in about equal measure. I have no expectation of being walker-free in the next six months, they live a good ways outside of Toronto, and Catholic ceremonies, even weddings, require a lot of up and downing. Ah well, sufficient unto the day etc.
Did not make it to the library. Sidewalks are still ice-fringed, even with two days of near 0C, and a pain to walk over. Thursday is supposed to reach dizzy heights of 7C/ over 40F, which will be soon enough.
Did get to Fiesta which has turkey rolls for less than Lobiaws or Sobey's, also Dufflet cookies, Dufflet chocolate rolls, and a single gingerbread person with a broken leg, all of which I bought, alas.
Was also accosted there by a mother from the daycare and her daughter, the former of whom recognized me while I couldn't quite place her. Trouble was she looked like she might be the Young Ladies' mother's (non-existent) sister, and her 7 year old-ish daughter not only looks like but has the same name as L, so my mind kind of stuttered for a minute, before remembering that L is in uni. Mom says we date from 2018 so maybe she's the Swiss mother we had then? whose kid had moved to toddlers by late 2019. Must confess I kind of stopped registering the individual babies by then, which was yet another sign that I needed to retire.
