keeping on

Trying to up the exercise at the moment but my knees aren't what they used to be :)
Today's a bit of a mystery - some work and some relaxation too. Meanwhile I like this article - it talks about love in terms of a partner, but as you know I think it is possible to love lots of people well :)

Perhaps an odd cure for my headache,  but a two hour drumming session did the trick

We also used these soundsticks,  I've forgotten what they are called, but I especially liked it when we swapped them for chimes :-) I will be going back!

hearts

late back last night and early off to work so no words of wisdom from me at this juncture.

I do have a lovely pic of some tiny wooden hearts tho :)

Sorry, it's been a busy day (I'm going to fit in more work hours how when that kicks in next week??) Day isn't over yet tho, maybe I'll get time to conjour up wisdom and post it here before the day is out.
Or just sing and then watch singing :-)

nought pounds

We're off to a wedding today. It does occur to me that maybe I should have tried on the dress I plan to wear, as I've definitely put weight on since the cheese monster moved in. Hopefully it will be fine. I have various official bods I need to ring before going (and you know how I relish that). I wonder if a day will ever come when I have just set everything up to tick along and don't have to sort things anymore? I'm also trying to complete a form in preparation for will writing, which has tricky questions on it. One asks about the value of the contents of my house. This is very different from the amount needed when applying for contents insurance - that's how much money I think I would need to replace everything if it say went up in smoke. This figure is how much the kids would get if they tried to flog it all on ebay, and I can't think of any possession I have that would be worth the bother - I don't feel I own anything of financial value whatsoever. So I'm thinking of putting £0 as surely they would just take anything they didn't want to keep straight to the charity shop. I'm supposed to value the car too but all the online options seem to want my email and I don't want to go down that route. Can I put £0 for that too?

Dress fits :)
Lovely,  late lunch,  could do with a nap before the evening do starts. Shame we are not staying over but I have work tomorrow.

friends will be friends

It had been far too long since I'd seen my friend. It was very good to catch up and we won't leave it so long next time. Friends are massively important to me. Today is my first day at work since one of my friends left, that will be weird. Will see if when I get home from work there is time to ring another friend for a catch up before out for singing.

Reaction

There was a saying I saw yesterday that I like.  It goes something like :
Boiling water makes a potato soft yet an egg hard. Same situation,  it just matters what we are made of.
I'm a bit fretful at the moment but know that worry only robs us of joy in the present,  so will focus again today on the light which once again looks lovely.
Lovely light didn't last. Children and boyfriend had never been up High Cup Nick so we went but the low cloud that descended meant we couldn't see the expected views - this greyness was the space that was supposed to have views in it.

Then tonight I am due to meet a friend for a much needed catch up and love in.

Promising

The light looks more promising for pics today.
First book finished,  jigsaw with my mum started,  film 'the way' cried through. Today I hope to mainly admire the colours and share them with you in a bit.

We went out for a run in the car to Rutter falls so mum could see the colours too.
And then a final walk of this incredibly gorgeous day.

Warm welcome

Doing well with hanging out rather than being on Internet too much.  I have two books with me to try and get through too, still have lots of shelf space I need to make. Piano in the pyrenees is the one I'm hoping to finish today. But first church where they are apparently really looking forward to seeing us. Warm welcomes all round, it is so important. And can go two ways, I will try to show folk how pleased I am to be here too. Hope you too get to display to at least someone how delighted you are to see them :-)

It's rather grey today,  will try again tomorrow to get some better photos :-)
