- I’ll start by saying that Blogger is being downright cantankerous or obnoxious or obstropolous ( yes, I know those aren’t the right words, they just sound as though they should be) because it’s not allowing me to comment on various blogs. I use a ‘blogger account’ that’s still valid – says I must be logged in /signed in – I am!…..so I’m not sure what’s going on.
I’ll have a go at using ‘anon’ next week but if you haven’t heard from me for a while that’s the reason ( I’m not favouring anyone but these bloggers spring to mind…..Joanne Linda Kylie Andrew Angela)
- Remember that ‘out of sorts’ not quite right feeling I spoke about – well it seems to have disappeared. One of the ‘symptoms’ was that by about 3.30/4pm I’d be overcome by an awful feeling of fatigue, not be able to keep my eyes open……..I know that sounds a bit dramatic but exactly what happened. I found resting – not an actual nana nap – but lying there with my eyes closed for about 5/10mins did the trick – then I’d be ‘off and running’ again.
The strange thing is that since the wind dropped last Monday afternoon I’ve felt okay. The temperature has risen again – and even though as I write this the skies are a bit grey and it’s raining outside, my body feels comfortable again.
A blogger mentioned winter blues – it’s certainly been a very different winter to others up here in the past however the jury’s out on that on that one
- The Golfer buys a pair of rubber thongs (flip flops for those not in the know) a year. Usually cheap ‘n cheerful ones from Rivers. Oh the pain when the prong popped out the other day – and no, we don’t do repairs with paper clips – so off he goes to get another pair.
Oh the pain of buying from ‘small town shops’ that don’t carry cheap ‘n cheerful. At $40 for a pair with an unpronounceable brand name beginning with H they’d better last longer than 12 months
- Mondays with the oldies in the hair salon or out in the bus are something I look forward and I was just beginning to miss my weekly visits when the roster for the last quarter arrived in my inbox
The little note ‘enclosed’ said….
“Hope you’re enjoying yourself but don’t get too comfortable- we need you here 💕”.
Knowing they’re looking forward to me returning means that hopefully I won’t whinge too much when it’s time to leave for home.
- And talking of home, chatting to our granddaughter expecting her first child in November she mentioned, she definitely wants to do it ‘the old fashioned way’. Here’s me thinking ‘natural birth with minor assistance’ but she followed up with- ‘not knowing whether we have a son or a daughter until they are born’.
Oh, and if you’re wondering where your letters or parcels have got to …..they could still be on the road.
Seen mid morning on The Bruce between Bowen and Ayr the other Wednesday…….still there late afternoon as we drove back
And that’s a little of what’s been going on in my world this past week
Is there anything you’re willing to share about yours?
