Down time ... Postponed - Revisited?

-
To avoid profound and expensive repairs to this blogger, it has been deemed necessary to close down at regular intervals. I have decided to adopt a planned approach to these periodical rest days. Most necessary to sustain and replenish, and hopefully involve much body tune ups in a prostrate position, supine and floating in a bath of gin. A handsome infertile flexible male to peel me grapes and feed my whims. 




So for the nest few days, I shall be unavailable due to routine maintenance. To keep this blogger running smoothly,it may be prudent to install flash players, oh yeah baby!


In other words - l'm driving letting the train take the strain down to the parents, Moannie and JP for some tlc. Which will no doubt include the prostrate position on couch, watching with mother; Milou on hand to pet; some deep meaningful lunches with a strong Latin edge; much rolling of eyes and side aching laughter. 


Back next week.


At the time of writing this post I was good to go.... then a glitch and a postponement until December. Disappointing but...


Life's like that.


It's December and it's still snowing, melting, refreezing and snowing again..n subject to the trains, l shall be at Moannie's Wednesday evening...


Carlisle .-15' coldest place in England this morning
Kent?...will report in words and pics over the coming days....

    I so wish I could visit my Mom, but alas I'll have to wait until my time on earth is up. Enjoy yourself, laugh heartily, and lap up the love and affection. :D

    Oh, that is a great pity..... I do feel for Moannie who will now have to wait for a long time for her blog to be restored.
    And you will have to wait for that longed for rest. But as you say..... life is like that.

    Enjoy Saz, you deserve it. You've had a lot of transitions this year. You have done great. It's time to put your guard down for some well deserved tlc.

    Enjoy your mom. Get all the love you can with her and give her all the love you have. Cheerish her with all your heart, visit her more often.

    My mom is resting in God's arms. Though I miss her, I know she's in a better place.

    Have fun!

    Oh my, before I could wish you a pleasant trip, it was canceled!

    We're stuck with you. Yay!

    I hope Moannie got the blog straightened out, I'm off to check after I finish catching up here.

    Try the bath of gin and the infertile grape-peeler anyway. Try and get the kind that is also wildly gifted at housework.

    Hi Saz

    Julie from mycuriousteaparty here...

    As I have had little interest in my giveaway post, I will donate some work to the local Oxfam shop in Colchester, hopefully they will make enough to buy some chickens for a family who needs them.

    And to say thank you for taking the time to leave me a message I would like to send you a little something to wish you a Merry Christmas please send me an email with your address and I will pop something in the post to you.

    Enjoy your break

    ~ Julie

Loneliness...

Image
is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
