I Cleared the old knitting bag in the living room and found lots of old wool and knitting needles needing a new home, so I passed them onto Karen at the still house near the village pond who is big in the village WI . We had a lovely chat , distanced by 20 yards .
Mary rubbed herself into a muddy puddle as we caught up
This afternoon , I read lots of old journals written in the 1990s ....Tons of things I didn’t remember
Lord.........
I’ve planned a silly zoom quiz on a Thursday
Anyone else that wants to join in just let me know your emails
It’s been fun to organise
I was supposed to work today so the dog walker came, but not the usual sexy bearded one we are all used to . The young girl that stood in couldn’t cope with Dorothy and brought her back within 5 minutes
Dorothy lay flat chested on the floor when they returned grinning hopefully
Bless her.
Hey ho
Dorothy also approves of the sexy bearded one then.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn’t let her take neurotic control
DeleteIs Dorothy gradually becoming less neurotic? (Oh... I wish I was, rather than the reverse...), but I ask because sometimes your tales of her make me sad (it doesn't take much these days, sadly); but then we must be glad that you found her, at least glad for her, if not always for you. Life can get complicated.
ReplyDeleteAndrew , she is complicated and inconsistent , so she will always disappoint if you let her.
DeleteShe needs firm and confident handling that’s all xx
Reviewing old journals can be like reading about someone else...
ReplyDeleteAnother land far far away
DeleteDo you knit? My Granda knit his own aran jumpers when he was at sea.
ReplyDeleteI love old knitting bags and patterns, they tell a lot about your life at that moment of time.
No my ex knitted, in his previous life
Deleteglad the wool and needles found a new home.
ReplyDeleteUK nurses don't really dress like that do they? Or were they nuns?
ReplyDeleteFun finds in the knitting bag and I give you credit for reading your old journals. Mine are cringe-inducing, out to the bin they go.
The dog walking can be difficult. I was in need of walker backup in a few weeks when I have a medical treatment, my regular person let me down. An older lady who walks her sedate King Charles Spaniels offered to walk Baby Mo for me. Which was kind but a recipe for disaster, as Mo is hard to handle--he either sits and pouts and demands a carry or runs like the wind, having freed himself from his no-escape harness. I had to decline. Last escape he ran a mile or more on our only road which is a six lane hurricane evacuation route, 45 mph or more for cars.
South American nuns
DeleteLOL.
DeleteThose Nuns are great movers aren't they- and as Dorothy does I too appreciate a firm man x
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteSmut. You're just another Ursula staining Johns lovely blog. Grow up.
DeleteNuns dancing to the music, moving and shaking. Those are the nuns that want to be priests... We can only hope. Dorothy went into protest mode and she won. The dog walkers will have to note: a strong hand is required. Will you try to reconnect with anyone named in your old journal? Maybe a re-kindle?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day.
ReplyDeleteYour Dorothy is one discerning gal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video, thanks for the happy news.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about old journals. I read some of mine from the 1980's a while back and there were stories about trips and experiences that I had, and have, absolutely no memory about. 'Course, at my age, it could be early onset Alzheimers. Well, actually not early onset. :^D
ReplyDeleteYes, the same when I read some of my old journals. Things I had forgotten. Things that made me laugh. Pages I tore out because I don't want my loved ones reading them when I'm gone.
ReplyDeleteThose journals must have been a wonder to read all these years later.
ReplyDeleteI destroyed all my journals in a bonfire a few years ago, about 25 years worth. I still write notebooks but dispose of at regular intervals.
ReplyDeleteI burnt all my adult diaries last year, they were just taking up so much space, and my teenage ones went the same way years previously ... I couldn't remember the code I had written them in so I couldn't understand most of it, serves me right :-)
ReplyDeleteIt can be a lot of fun to go back and read old journals. I put mine online several years ago (edited, on a private blog) and that helps when I want to look something up from the past.
ReplyDeletePoor Dorothy. Needs her walkies. Take good care. My old journals? I ignore them. Never want to read them. I was such a self-involved little sh%t. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to knit. I think my fingers are too clumsy though. I can't even draw stick figures.
ReplyDeleteRead this too fast at first and had Karen rubbing herself in the muddy puddle. MUST slow down and read more carefully in future.
ReplyDeleteWe all have our preference when it comes to dog walkers :).
ReplyDeleteDidn't you ask a while back for ALL Anonymous commenters to provide a name? And, yet, this new one slips in badmouthing whomever ... just another Ursula? Sometimes they are rather difficult to simply ignore!! 😊
ReplyDeleteHi all, I have seen comments from people who have already received a loan from Anderson Loan Finance. I really thought it was a scam and applied for a loan based on their recommendations because I really needed a loan. A few days ago, I confirmed on my personal bank account the amount of $12,000.00 USD that I had requested for a personal loan with a rental percentage of 2%. This is really good news that I am satisfied with and I advise anyone who needs a real loan and is sure to repay the loan to contact them by e-mail.
ReplyDeleteThey can lend you a loan!
