I watched bees entering and leaving an old badger sett this morning down Gypsy Lane
They looked like miniature spaceships visiting their mothership.
I sat for an age watching them until Dorothy started her I’m bored antics forcing us to move on.
She cannot abide standing still
It’s a lovely day today and a reflective one again….
Dorothy has the right idea…..it’s always good to move on.
I listened to Devipravaha again as I straightened the cottage
And opened up the windows to spring
A few more jobs after my bucket of coffee then I will drop the dogs off at Trendy Carol’s before going to work on overtime. The money from my extra shifts will be banked in my savings account in order to pay my college fees.
It feels nice that out of our group the three of us more mature students that have gravitated together are the three that are moving on for further training.
We even get a cap and gown when we finish Donna whispered as we left our classroom
And that does mean a great deal when I think of it
It’s lovely to be able to throw open the windows and let in fresh air. Catriona
ReplyDeleteBlow the dog smells away too
DeleteI hope to see a photo on here of you in your cap and gown when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteI will be plastering it everywhere when if it happens lol
DeleteIt's not if it happens but when it happens.
DeleteWhen you're paying you pass, otherwise the company wouldn't get recommendations.
So they don't want to have to fail anybody.
A new cap eh? You're sure not to become pregnant x
ReplyDeleteI’m past that now lol
DeleteOf course it means a great deal John and you should be proud of it. I am a big believer that one should never stop learning and with your past experience you should turn out to be a good addition to a new profession which needs caring and understanding people.
ReplyDeleteI think the three of us all had a crisis of confidence about changing our careers and the mutual support we gave each other has been invaluable and rather moving
DeleteDo dogs experience ADHD?
ReplyDeleteNo there’s a thought
DeleteMoving on is always good. D has the right idea. Your course work is going extremely well and "moving" to the head of the class is outstanding. Graduation is a happy day. Yet another great move...
ReplyDeleteI’ve always been a late starter with most things in my life
DeleteEverything seems to be slotting nicely into place for you, John. Moving on, moving up. Just try not to get food down your gown when the time comes - not a good look! xx
ReplyDeleteI will invest in a bib
DeleteIt really does mean a great deal John, never belittle or down-play how hard you are working and just what you are achieving. I for one am very proud of you ... as long as you don't wear your Crocs with your cap and gown. ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteSusan, what a sweet thing to say, thank you so much
DeleteCall me Susan again and I'll slap your legs. ;-)
DeleteTut tut Susan, having a tantrum at your age!
DeleteToday I have the patio door open , just outside is a fragrant azalea the perfume is amazing, the birds are singing and today I feel just that bit more cheerful, isn't spring wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt lightens the heart like doggie farts
DeleteOlga doesn't like to linger on walks either. She gets restless quite easily. (Unless she's rolling in the grass.)
ReplyDeleteDorothy leaps at me like a deer if we are too slow
DeleteI like your description of the bees as little spaceships! Glad life is moving along smoothly for you, John! xx
ReplyDeleteIt’s about time ….but I feel more balanced, more focused than I have in a couple of years
DeleteI hope you shall wear the cap and gown to lounge nonchalantly in your cottage garden taking your ease John x
ReplyDeleteI will wear it in Sainsbury’s flis
DeleteA lovely post: tiny aliens, fresh air, coffee, Dorothy, graduation plans, and overtime to add to savings. Up, and up, and up!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
And up dear babs
DeleteYou are pretty darn cool, John Gray.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never been cool ms moon , but one tries xx lol
DeleteYou deserve to feel proud of this latest accomplishment. Very exciting. As for the bees, I would have spotted them and quickly (and calmly) left the scene.
ReplyDeleteHoney bees too…..small and delicate
DeleteDo not, for a moment, think of eating anything while wearing said cap and gown. Not for a moment! (But have lots of photos taken for us.)
ReplyDeleteYou know me so well lol
DeleteI agree that photos are a must. Good for you! It seems like life is a good balance of work, entertainment and study.
ReplyDeleteIt’s getting there Debby x I can’t complain
DeleteI could sit and watch bees for hours...or wasps collecting wood pulp....
ReplyDeleteOnwards and upwards with those studies..you are doing great!
I love the way they exit the burrow dead centre
DeleteI thanks you for all you bring to our attention John - this music was a treat.
