Friendship

But my body is just not having it. May as well get another cup of tea and a smoke.

Love me like I love you.

Always Remember

Anyone still on Facebook knows how they love to throw up 'memories' from previous years, and sometimes they are interesting. Facebook reminded me today that it is 2 years since I was in Portugal on a romantic holiday. Last year I had just been made redundant (27 April) and was starting the long process of turning my life upside down. This year I have just finished the initial renovations of an elderly and slightly decrepit townhouse in Spain. (5 May)

I started thinking about it. 3 years ago I was in an LDR which tried, around now, to become a conventional relationship and instead exploded fairly dramatically.

4 years ago I had just joined CS and was giddily enjoying a short-lived virtual relationship.

5 years ago, according to Facebook, life was fairly dull, although I had just published my second book so it probably didn't feel dull to me at the time.

6 years ago I was asking Facebook to remind me I had stored my winter tyres in the garden chest.

Does make me wonder what I will be doing next spring. Pushing up daisies (so back to the gardening theme) or having whole new and totally unanticipated adventures?



I'd never really noticed the spring link before, wonder if anyone else has a similar pattern in their lives.

Building trust

Usually starting at about now, I can sense that impending change in the air where summer is ending and fall is about to start. Its nice and warm here today but I can sense that something in the air that says fall is soon coming.

That means that it will be mushroom season and this year, I am going to try to find some for nostalgic sake's.

It is 2 degrees C here. That is really warm for this time of year. Its snowing but not heavy, tomorrow there is actually some rain in the forecast which will probably turn everything into a sheet of ice when the temp goes down again after the rain. Weather is funny here, never know what it is from one day to the next.

“A joker is a little fool who is different from everyone else. He's not a club, diamond, heart, or spade. He's not an eight or a nine, a king or a jack. He is an outsider. He is placed in the same pack as the other cards, but he doesn't belong there. Therefore, he can be removed without anybody missing him.” Jostein Gaarder, The Solitaire Mystery
