I’ve had three weeks holiday in the past month
I’ve needed it.
I haven’t done a great deal these past few days though.
I met my family for coffee and delighted in the story that my dear sister in law got locked inside a Chester Garden Centre after hours and had to be rescued by the police.
I enjoyed the theatre.
A cinema trip to see a so so thriller ( not worth a review) and breakfast today in Colwyn Bay with a friend who was not up to talking, so we sat with our coffees looking out at the blue sea in silence
I bought pulled pork laden chips which Mary and Roger shared
And lit the fire late tonight after my Spanish lesson
Lo siento, olvidé hailer en español
I cooked prawns and garlic like the Book Club Host did tonight
And ate them with garlic bread which made my gums numb
I love this film ….
I'm sorry sweetie. That's hard, the lonely part I mean. Sending hugs, wishing I could hug you in person, although right now I'm full of snot and short of breath so you wouldn't want a hug from me right now.
ReplyDeleteI’d take a snotty hug xxx
DeleteI’m lonely 90 % of my time here on earth
ReplyDeleteI’m not lonely when you share your feelings
Which you do so freely
And without any guile
Thank you my old friend
Lee
Understood , thank you for the email x
DeleteI can understand how you feel lonely, even when you fill your days with family, friends and busyness. I wish I could conjure up a special someone to take the loneliness away for you.
ReplyDeleteThe film made me think of the Trelawnyd tapestry group, chatting and sewing together to make something beautiful and memorable. xx
I think you did more than you re recalling---more films, theater w C Eleanor, meetings, and did you not meet up w Nu? But busy and lonely aren't equivalent, are they. We are all lonely and so very sad--what can be done, I just don't know. ( I miss my little pug terribly. Unlike you I humanize my pets and love them like a child or best friend. . we had only 12 years.) Anyway here's a hug and thanks for your blog always. xx
ReplyDeleteWishing and hoping and thinking and praying that your special someone is practically around the corner very soon. You're a rare treasure, John, and deserve happiness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being there for us!
Hugs!
It makes me sad to hear you feel lonely. I wish this wasn't so.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you. I wish we could all show up in your garden. What a riotous time we would have...and not a speck of loneliness to be seen!
ReplyDeleteLocked in a store after hours? Horrors! Didn't any of the employees check around before they left?
ReplyDeleteA day in the life. Hilarious that your sister-in-law got locked inside a garden center. How many hours did it take to be rescued? We once got locked inside the last train of the night in Ronda.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweet romantic, always stay that way.
ReplyDeleteI have been locked in toilets a couple of times but never in a shop. I would prefer the shop. I don’t think I am lonely but I still have my dog. I do really miss my husband every day and always will. I just have to get on with it. Hugs John, Gigi
ReplyDeleteLove the music, and sad to say I've never seen that movie ... I should look for it.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy a giggle at your sister-in-law's story, though.
People can be lonely while in the presence of others. It is a different sort of loneliness though, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteJust after my husband died I watched a daytime tv show about loneliness, when a widowed gentleman explained that he had many friends and family for outings and events, but what he missed most was having someone to do nothing with. I have never forgotten that phrase, or it's perfect meaning.
ReplyDeleteit is so very true
DeleteI've made several quilts but never like that.
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did the garden center thing happen? Inquiring minds want to know! (I also want to know the name of the so-so thriller.)
ReplyDeleteLocked in a garden center...could be worse.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find these beautiful films? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI watched How to Make an American Quilt at the theater when it first came out. My mother was in the final stages of cancer then, and my sister and I went to see it on a break from caring for her provided by the hospice nurse. The movie went completely over my head at the time. I probably spent the entire movie in my head squirrel caging my stress. All I really remember about it was that the older women were on the porch smoking pot. I should watch it again.
