Sunny Day In The Garden

Hi Denise - totally understand why Clive and Min aren't making an appearance today - it is so nice it would be a shame to be indoors any more than we have to. I have enjoyed the tour round your garden (and the shed videao from yesterday) as I am a nosy so-and-so. My garden isn't very big but being on my own I needed it to be manageable. My poor old cat is feeling his age at the moment (he's 17) but is actually outside in the sun today so that is a lovely sight. I am just doing a bit of tidying for now in short bursts as I know from experience how tempting it is to go like the madwoman I am and then suffer for it afterwards - especially my knees which seem to be several years older than the rest of me. Take care and enjoy the sun x

What a lovely morning you and Andy had, making plans and working in the garden together!

Your garden is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pictures and your plans. Completely understand that today was a day for working outside, I think sadly there is going to be plenty of time for writing over the next few weeks. I’m envious that you have someone to share the gardening with, I need to get out in mine but it’s less fun on your own.I’m looking forward to the next episode of Clive and Min when it’s the right time

Thank you for your understanding, Aileen. I shall be writing this week so will post another episode as soon as possible! I’m glad your cat is enjoying some sunshine - it is lovely to see them enjoying a spot of warmth, isn’t it? I’m trying to pace myself with the gardening because otherwise I, too, shall be going at it like a woman possessed and then have to face the consequences! Look after yourself, and those knees. x
Oooh, and by the way, I don’t think it is being nosy - rather more ‘exhibiting a social interest.’ Yes?

We did have a good day, Vera. It strengthened the bond of teamwork.

Hello Olly! I hope you are keeping well. I don’t think the garden is going to know what’s hit it, with all this attention! And who knows - I might get this novel competed sooner than I expected.

The Frosted Dawn Enigma

The decorators are in at the moment. Stairs and landing. Given my previous history of 'Hoo Ha Occurring on Stairs ' - reference the Trapped Under the Sofa Incident and the Foot Wedged Between Bookcase and Stair Rise Debacle - I thought it wise to pay for professionals to decorate the stairs and landing rather than get myself in a mix with ladder and plank combinations and achieve the Magic Three of staircase accidents. The decorators are a father and son combo who go by the  names of Craig and David. This automatically causes me entertainment. 'Came in on a Monday, prepped, filled and undercoated, back on Thursday, first top coating, by Friday finishing touches...' Okay, not as frisky or well-scanned as the original song, but you get where I'm coming from. Anyway, before they started the job Craig asked what colour I wanted for the walls. 'Same colour as the downstairs walls, please,' said I. 'Dulux Frosted Dawn.' And then white for ...

Day 1 - Decisions Are Made Beyond the Author's Control.

‘Well,’ I say, looking at the expectant faces gathered around the huge table in the Great Dining Hall of Much Malarkey Manor, ‘I didn’t think it was going to happen this year, but it is!’ There is a sharp intake of breath as everyone wonders of what I speak. I’ve been muttering about all sorts recently, and I’m not talking liquorice here either.   ‘The Much Malarkey Manor Annual and Traditional Christmas Story!’ I say, and wait for the expulsed air of relief to settle before I continue. ‘I thought we had done it all. I thought we had covered every Christmas story there was. I’ve been wracking my brains for a full two months now, trying to come up with something we haven’t done before and then it hit me! We haven’t done a version of one of the Great Christmas Films of Yore!’ ‘Your what?’ says Mrs Slocombe, who is more interested in the selection of pastries I have brought to this breakfast meeting, because that is what one does, isn’t it? Eat pastries at breakfast...

Sun Puddles

A few weeks ago, I met up with a dear friend for a meditation and healing afternoon, both of us being light workers on the spirit pathway. It did me good to re-engage in a bit of focused energy channelling (because I have let my practice slip somewhat) and during the afternoon the words ‘sun puddles’ popped into my head.  Now, I know this wasn’t my human brain thinking these words because I have never heard the phrase before; when I arrived home, I looked it up and said to myself, ‘Aaah, you mean sun spots!’ This is a sun puddle... ...there! That thing that Flora is lying on. No, not the sofa - the warm patch of sunshine on the sofa. Here are Flora and Bambino sharing a sun puddle... This proves that no matter how much they scrap with each other and try to denude each other of fur all over my rugs, they secretly share a mutual and fond admiration. I think. And here is Bambino on a sun puddle that has come to rest on my legs... It’s his casual, ‘I’m so cool’ pose. Metaphorically coo...
