Happy Anniversary Sweetheart

always in my heart ...

Tuesday 18 September 2012

... not!

well, that was fun ... not!

sky, not too grey, sun visible, time to strim.

change into gardening clothes and jim green boots, connect extention cord, insert new line into strimmer.

begin work, wtf! it starts to rain!

i give up ...

to strim or not to strim ...

the sun is visible for a change. damn but it sure rains a lot in bonnie scotland! perhaps it will stay clear long enough for me to take my super duper new strimmer to the three feet high weeds in the back garden!
or not ...

ian (beloved son-in-law) spent two days of his holiday painting my entrance hall and stairwell. what a boytjie! the house looks great! perhaps i will spend today returning my books to the book shelves and unpacking the last two remaining boxes.
or perhaps i will just sit on my lazy arse watching tv and thinking about all the things i will do "one day".

for now i will wander into my clean and tidy kitchen and have a smoke at the open back door. then perhaps a lovely slow soak in my really long bath ...

life is good even though the sky is already clouding over with mean looking clouds.

tonight is my night to take care of daniel, we sit together and watch children's tv until it is time for his bath and bedtime. daniel will be three tomorrow - wow, how time flies!

well there are the first long streaks of rains whipping across the front windows. no strimming today!

slow cooking



a book on slow cooking
a basket of pegs
a small green duck
with bright orange legs
an empty container
which once held meringues
five paper plates
and a box with no fags
the debris of life
the way which i live
so much left behind
so much still to give
