It’s Friday again dear Bloggets. Funny how fast it comes
around. When I was a child my Dad used to say that time goes by so quickly when
you are a grown up… wow, it really does. I need it to slow down now please? But
I’m selective. Treatments and advances in science I wish to speed up, but my
life I want it to slow down. I have too much living to do before I’m too old to
know I’m enjoying it. I can only hope I have the mind and ability of some of
you who write to me. Some of my Bloggets are in their seventies and eighties
and I swear they are fitter than what I am now, let alone when I’m much older.
Yesterday I was big in Germany. Haha. 101 readers. So, either
lots of shares, loads of new and old readers or, someone has had a lot of catching
up to do. But anyway, great to see you all.
I’ve not long been in. I just went a couple of streets away
this morning to a friend’s house for a cupper. As I stepped out of the house,
my child like excitement came flooding back to me as I’m sure glee spread
across my face at the feel of snow beneath my feet. But then the sensible head
appeared and I thought oh, gosh, no, how will I define the kerbs and will it be
slippy?
Well it wasn’t slippy, it was slushy and my Waggatail of a
guide dog worked really well. No way I would attempt as far as the shops, not
on a day like this, but as I walked along, I was so confident that we would get
there safely. It was helped along by the beautiful sounds of the birds that did
leave me with some guilt as I wanted to feed them. Every time I put food for
our birds in our garden, the dogs eat it. A bird table is not tall enough. We have
a bird station and I can put an apple or bread roll on the top section which is
taller than me it’s about six feet tall. But my naughty Waggs shakes the
blooming thing at the bottom and waits for the food to fall… I need a tall bird
table that she can not shake or reach. I noticed that you can buy ones that fix
onto your wall and we have a really tall wall in our back garden, much taller
than the bird station. But then the local feline friends walk along the top of
the wall and my poor dicky birds are an easy target.
The sun shone and it is a beautiful day. I thawed out at my friend’s
house with my blue fingers wrapped around a hot mug. We chatted and then the
walk back. She offered to walk back with me but I said I would be fine, just to
keep her mobile on in case I needed an S.O.S call.
It was cold out there but not a damp cold. Temperatures are
to plunge to -15 in parts of the UK and more snow is forecast. Trains have been
cancelled and schools have been closed.
Back home a well-done biscuit for my girl and into my warm cosy
house. Hub is working from home today, he has been on the phone since 8.30 a.m.
today it’s now almost 2 p.m. and he’s still on… Fridays are phone day for him. He
puts the phone down and it rings immediately. So, I have left him to it I’m
writing to you in the office. Hub is in the sitting room the joys of
technology. Gosh I remember the days when he had to be glued to his desk by his
huge computer station. Hand held phone and wires coming from everywhere. And that
was only eight years ago.
The really odd thing today, outside, there is the smell of
not only log burners polluting the air but a strong fragrance of a BBQ. In this
weather? It can’t be anything else. It’s so strong.
A great night was had at our pub quiz last night and we did
as badly as ever. It’s so funny to hear Hub. He takes it so seriously. I find
it rather funny to lose every week like we do, but Hub isn’t a loser. Haha. I’m
obviously a first class one…
It was so warm in there it was really lovely the coal fire
was toasty. It was chip butties for supper. My Bloggets from abroad will now be
wondering what culinary delights is a chip butty? Well, fried potatoes in a
bread roll, haha, nothing too exciting. With some salt and vinegar on. A packet
of salted nuts and my one drink as that is all I ever have. I drink a lemonade
and lime. I go for the fun not the drink. Hub goes to please me I’m sure…. Our two
friends, one goes for the drink the other the fun. It’s certainly not the food….
And the company is great as well. Such friendly people. The pub is so small
almost like walking into a sitting room. So, when one walks in, people can’t
help but say hello!
Now for I hope, a
smile. A headline that really made me chuckle today was as follows.
Police on the hunt for Lionel Richie look alike.
Hahahaha. So, poor guy happens to look like the singer, so
he gets chased? Or has he done something wrong other than look like the
brilliant artist…
As I was getting ready this morning to go out, I asked my
Alexa a question as I was out last night wasn’t sure if anyone had left me a
message so, me.
“Alexa, play my messages?”” Alexa. Hi again, opening….”” I’m
thinking, opening messages? She doesn’t normally say that…
Then she cheerfully asks me how can she help? I repeat, play
my messages? She replies welcome to recipes. What would you like me to find for
you today? I think with dropped jaw. Em, messages would be good? But I think,
well, as I am here!
“Vegan recipe”” she replies. Now wait for this one Bloggets…
“How does bacon and leak tart sound?””
Oh… My… . . .
I just told her to stop. She did. She can be obliging.
Today is the first time I haven’t had hellish eye pain. Only
in one eye today it burns. It’s rare both eyes feel the same. And more often
now days they feel like they really don’t belong in my body. You know how you
have a nose and it’s just there, like your ears? Well only the past few months I
have felt my eyes. Never before I have been aware of them. I think it’s because
they always have some kind of pain now. and they are different to each other different
pains too. But today is a good day, I can do burning in one. Better than an elastic
band or a heigh heel stiletto being kicked in the other.
Another headline that grabbed my attention today was male
contraception gel, is to be trialled today in Scotland…
I didn’t read where
it was to be rubbed!!!
Well I’m off to clean our bathroom what a great life, hey? And
then back to the desk to write a poem for someone’s birthday. I have been asked
to write it by tomorrow.
I was asked this morning….
Smile…. I don’t mind as I have nothing planned but if I was
out all day that would have been a challenge.
Have a very safe weekend, please if you have bad weather
where you are, can you check if your neighbours are OK? X
