Winding Down

Another nineteen blogless days and little to show for it. A quick summary.

The heatwave continues. This country is just not able to deal with it. I love hot weather and blue skies, but have to admit the limitations it imposes are a little frustrating. It's difficult to do any heavy housework or travel far. A swimming pool would be very welcome. However, come winter I shall be the first to remind those who complain how much they complained about the hot summer. There's no pleasing the British when it comes to weather.

Much as I love warm weather, I'm not too fond of the wildlife that comes with it. Flies are brilliant at finding their way inside through small openings,, but hopeless at finding their way out through wide open doors and windows. Eating out with a multitude of wasps is hardly ideal. Cat fleas are hard to eradicate despite tablets, sprays, pipettes and specialised flea combs. Dennis and I have spent many evenings scratching.

I have enjoyed some great days out with friends and my sister as well as helping out at the book festival in my town. My writing group are very supportive and I am presently attempting to put together the long awaited and overdue book of my personal story. I have a title and book cover, the first three chapters, a synopsis but have yet to complete details of all chapters. It is indeed a very long and complicated story which continues.

I spent last night at a very enjoyable school reunion which turned into my birthday after midnight. It was good to be amongst friends and to have a sleepover which ensured I didn't wake up to an empty house on my birthday. Tomorrow is my grandson Dylan's tenth birthday so more celebrations.

I suspect my blogging days are coming to a close. My membership expires at the end of this month and I cannot afford to renew or justify the cost when I don't do a great deal here any longer. It's sad, but all things come to an end. I'll always remember the great times I've had through WDC and the people I've added to my friends list. But the time has come...

Who knows what the future holds?
