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 :-)
ReplyDeleteI 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. 🎄
