GREENHOUSE STUFF


I was potting on my sunflowers tonite, grown from seed, when i had to stop for dinner. Well, I happened to fancy a wee glass of wine with my meal, delicious. On going back out to finish the job, I topped up my glass and the radio was with me anyway, I spent the next wee while slurping away and potting away...then had a wee chat on the phone with a couple of friends, and as it was getting dark, lit a few candles [ yes still in the greenhouse] and another wee top up, all in all a very pleasant evening...all the while hubby was watching that da** telly....What fun this retirement is.......... : )

Me, Myself and I



I have spent the last 3 weeks living on my own for the 1st time since I was 19yrs old....and I must say how much I have enjoyed, no, loved it...!




How I had forgotten to shop for the food that I like, instead of fitting in with what hubbie likes and to save waste, just have the same food...also saves cooking two meals.




Although I am looking forward to having him home any day now, I will be paying more attention to what I want to eat, what I want to watch on television or not, where to go or not go, stay in or go out...I have learned to listen to ME....its taken long enough, I will be 65 soon!!
