Oh the Grinch sums it up so well. 😄
The first cup of the coffee for me has to be drunk in solitude. If I'm not reading I don't mind the television being on with YouTube entertaining me while I arrive slowly into my day, but I do not want anyone to chatter away to me ... and even worse expect any kind of response.
You have been warned, enter my little morning bubble at your peril!!

I'm usually up shortly after 5am, so I'm guaranteed my first coffee of the day will always be a peaceful one. Xx
ReplyDeleteI'm also up early, usually well before 6am, so I'm quite safe. 😄
DeleteMy husband is like you and doesn't speak until well through his second cup of coffee, yet me as soon as I wake up I'm chatty. Funnily our two sons are like us the eldest chatty like me and the younger one silent for about an hour after getting up. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I bet you've all had to learn how to navigate your mornings. 😄
DeleteSon as a teen, used to appear in the kitchen to get his breakfast, saying 'DON'T talk to me'
ReplyDeleteHaha ... my Mum was exactly the same when we were growing up. I would be in the kitchen having my cereal and juice before school, with Dad going through his perfectly timed 1.5 hour routine with Radio 4 as the soundtrack, and Mum would dash down stairs, grab a mouthful of coffee and dash straight out the door saying 'don't talk to me'.
DeleteOh my gosh, I know what you mean. My first drink has to be a mug of tea and I like to sit quietly drinking it and mulling over what the day might bring. I can't stand beginning the day in a rush!
ReplyDeleteThe peace and quiet of the morning is like no other. It needs to be savoured properly. :-)
DeleteI’m exactly the same and, after 40 years together, my husband - Chatty Cathy - STILL doesn’t get it 😆. Anna xx
ReplyDeleteHe's lucky he's not been divorced ... or murdered!! ;-)
DeleteWoe betide anyone who tries to talk to me or make me do things before I've had my first cup of tea - and I really need two to get me going :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice to know that we are all quite similar. :-)
DeleteI am greatly reassured to read how many of us DO NOT SPEAK until we are ready in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteSo, a happy QUIET Christmas morning to everyone 🤭
Oh, and I blame you entirely for a Sainsbury's Yule Log falling into my trolley this morning. 🎄
Haha ... enjoy your Yule Log. I am eyeing mine up every time I pass the little shelves that it is stood on. I have not given into temptation ... YET!!
DeleteCopied and sent this to my husband. We never have breakfast together unless we are in the Moho! Thanks for making me laugh,. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI hope he takes the hint. :-)
DeleteThat's too funny! Since there's usually just me and the cat, and he's mostly interested in getting his breakfast, I don't get to talk to anyone before I've had my tea. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I sm usually just sat with Ginger and Mavis. They don't even want their breakfast at the time I get up, just a treat, a drink and a fresh bed to snooze in until breakfast time.
DeleteFor years now my lovely husband brings up tray of breakfast-in-bed and coffee for me and disappears down stairs. That way be both have a peaceful morning!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have the perfect arrangement. 😀
DeleteOh my goodness this is me exactly! So nice to know I’m not alone. DH has only just learned to work around this after 10 years together
ReplyDeleteIt can take men a while to cotton on can't it. 😄
DeleteDear Sue, you and I are in the same club! My mum and I did not speak until after breakfast for me during my years at home. These days I've only the cat and she's not offended.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that made me smile. It seems our animals are quick to catch on, and put up with our foibles. 😀
DeleteI can't imagine drinking coffee before 8am in the morning...its got to be tea.
ReplyDeleteI'm the opposite, I'm one of those horribly annoying people who sing and dance around the house as soon as I get up. This morning I delivered his early morning mug of tea whilst singing Feliz Navidad at the top of my voice, I'm amazed we've lived together for so long without him murdering me! xxx
I haven't had a cup of tea since I was twelve years old. Something just switched in me and I could no longer tolerate it, it makes me really sick ... no coffee that is a completely different matter. :-)
DeleteYou ARE NOT invited to my house ever, ever, ever to stay overnight!!
