The Ocean Is Calling



Yesterday my sister was pottering around my front garden, completing jobs and planning the new flower beds.
The dogs knowing someone was there was restless and woke me early not long after I had gone to bed.
Tired but needing something to do, I washed up, cleaned the kitchen and retrieved a parcel from the back door. The parcel was a poster frame I had ordered and I hung the Art Deco poster I had bought from America the other night
It looks good behind my arm chair
Pleased with myself I went to bed and tried to sleep again but to no avail
Subsequently I'm tired now, and it's going on three am .....only five hours to go before hometime

I have a sore throat too
But no temperature

    1. I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting { cyberhackingcompany@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

    2. I am sure a lot of us are still unaware of the recent development of the Blank ATM card.. An ATM card that can change your financial status within a few days. With this Blank ATM card, you can withdraw between $1,000-$5,000 daily from any ATM machine in the world. There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable.

  2. Oh, from the title I thought I was going to see a nice photo of a seascape at dawn or sunset ... but the poster is pretty cool. PS. I'm an Annie Lennox fan, not so much opera (but then, I'm an American philistine).

  3. Gargle equal parts vinegar and hot water for that sore throat. Instant relief. Guaranteed.

    Love the placement of your newly framed poster!

    My mother always had me gargle with salt water (not from the ocean) when I had a sore throat. Hope you feel better by the time you must get up again.

    Hugs!

  6. The poster looks especially nice with the yellow walls and green cabinet. Now you can sit beneath it and dream of the ocean. I hope the remainder of your shift goes quickly and easily and you are soon snoozing in your bed at home.

    I have found (much to my son's amusement)that the older I get I tend to get a sore throat if tired! Your home is lovely and cosy. Have a lovely sleep when home - I love using my dog Moll as a water bottle! Take good care. Hugs to the hairy ones!xx Wanda

  10. I nearly bought that poster the other week off an advert on Facebook, but changed my mind as I can't swim ... and then another one with a Pug and a swearword caught my eye instead :-)

    1. Oh no Sue, I love swimming! Can't imagine not being able to. I've missed the pools being open during the pandemic.

  13. Sorry about your sleep. I love the poster and it looks great there. I have a thing for British railway posters and have two, Suffolk and St Ives-Cornwall. They cheer me. I am doing my Pride self isolated walk today. Thank you for your blog.

  15. I was hoping you were off to Sitges again! But for now, you can sit in your parlor, sipping your tea with honey, and look at that warming poster while you dream of your next trip.

  21. Getting a good night's sleep is important for all health care professionals if they are to function efficiently the next day. I prescribe a nice milky mug of "Ovaltine" and a digestive biscuit before bedtime.
