A third blog? A good idea? A fresh start? A disaster? An omen? ...who knows anything? |
Another 18 days without a blog in sight. Admittedly there isn't the same motivation or reasons to write in it every day as there used to be, but it staggers me how swiftly the days pass by in a blur. I do worry about my memory at times as sometimes I fear I can't remember the things I've been doing. One reason I decided to keep a small diary to record the exciting (not) life I lead. I won't keep it, but at least it's there if I want to look back and check out where all the time has gone. So here, without further ado is a record of the last 18 days since I blogged. Day 1 - Cleaned the kitchen floor, chopped down some ivy outside, shopped and chatted to my sis on Skype. It was very hot. Day 2 - Hoovered downstairs, sat outside reading, cut more ivy, shopped and watched The Handmaiden on T.V. It was very hot. Day 3 - Went to a theme park called Alton Towers with Paul & the grand monsters. Called in at my sisters nearby. It was very hot. Day 4 - Had my gas boiler serviced, cleaned the bathroom, went to the hairdressers, shopped, watered plants. It was very hot. Day 5 - Had a reflexology session with friend John. Went to Nottingham to meet an old schoolfriend. Trains were all late on return. It was very hot. Day 6 - Took the bus to Nottingham for a hospital appointment. Bought some cards. Ate at the writing group summer meal out. It was very hot. Day 7 - Painted an outdoor lamp, Went to Knitters & Natters then met a friend for coffee. Went to see my St Louis neighbour. It was very hot. Day 8 - Had a headache. Hung out washing. Went shopping. Watched tennis on T.V. Phoned friends. It was very hot. Day 9 - Hung more washing out.

Day 16 - Sis and I helped man the writing stall at the Book Festival. Bought a few books. Went for a meal with Paul & the kids. It was very hot. Day 17 - Had lunch out with sis and a friend. Took sis to the station for her train home then shopped. It was very hot. Day 18 - Hung out washing, repotted house plants, shopped and wrote a blog of sorts. It is not quite as hot. Bet you're riveted and in awe of my exiting life after all that. I guess I should be grateful I'm well enough and able to do all these things. I may not remember much about events of this summer in the future, but I'm sure I'll never forget it's the hottest one I can remember in a long, long time. No complaints about that. |
