Planning a pizza night with my flatmates. So lucky that I live with such nice girls (bar one)

The shock on my stepbrothers face when I ran into them in town this morning. Asked me how things are and I said it like it is. His father has a large part to play in the fact that I no longer have a relationship with my mother. It's a horrible, painful situation but I am self-protecting in a way I never had the courage to do before.

Well done you. It's hard to disconnect but sometimes you have to do it for your own self preservation.

TH that my next door neighbour came to help me today, despite her having three small children and a load of stuff to do every weekend. She's the best.

Listening t o my wee dog snoring!

Had a long session with friends last night and we all seemed to be brimming with TH blessings. Good health, happy family members, uplifting grandchildren, daily life comforts and a lack of nothing.

Long may it last.

Herself said she won’t be going a Sunday shop ever again, last Sunday was a disaster. Nice day out now instead.

Had a great night at a concert last night, the highlight was holding hands in the air swaying with a man about 75 who was also at the outside of his aisle.

His was with two young couples and they all thanked me afterwards when we were leaving.

It's a glorious morning. Dry and fine, crisp and fresh, loads of colours. I love Autumn. N.t.m. great drying Weather!

:D:pac: That feicing reminds me I need to spin a load of Clothes.

An impromptu walk with a friend a couple of hours ago, beautiful sunshine, yet cold and crisp. My favourite weather with one of my favourite people

Bredabe · 23-09-2018 10:59AM

I got a couple hundred words of my assessment done today, phew, this one freaked me out for no reason I can figure.
I feel much better now.

Watching my big old cat rolling in sheer bliss in a patch of grass in the sunshine.. onto his back, then wriggles back and forth in sheer sensuous glee.. His smaller sister prefers a more elegant seat on my garden chair..

I love foraging for wood to burn in the stove. I am at it half the morning. Great big branches to be found after the storm. Those rotten/old branches and twigs can be great for lighting a fire or rescuing a fire that is about to go out.

Collecting blackberries is also a wonderfully enjoyable activity. There is still a great crop of them out there.

Kitty6277 · 23-09-2018 12:29PM

I made my porridge just right. Not too milky, not too thick

misstearheus · 23-09-2018 12:44PM

Porridge...... Yummmmmmm now there's a thought.... No Milk in the house though and it's rotten with water. I do have loads of Yoghurt. I'd be heating the Yoghurt as I hate Cold Milk anyway, hate Milk in general only in Porridge and Custard. But heating the Yoghurt might take the flavoursome zingy tanginess ot of said Yoghurt. Plus I have Apples I need to need to use up, could cut up a couple of them and put them on top. Thanks Kitty!

Think that's my Brunch sorted, in super-fast fashion yayy...

I'd love to be able to write on listening to the sound of water flowing or birds singing on a gorgeous autumnal morning but I'll take survival for now; at 6:26am this morning I successfully transferred the little fella from beside me on the couch downstairs to his cot upstairs, having been awake since 11pm with enormous teething pain. Jesus! The absolute relief that he didn't wake up in the transfer was incredible. He was like The Terminator; he kept coming back to life all night. And thankfully this is not a working day.

The person who wrote Wheels on the Bus deserves a Nobel Prize for something or other because all those YouTube videos (with billions upon billions of views) gave him great solace through the night as he did the famous hand movements and even the fake crying (which was funny given his real tears also) while watching the bus.

I'm listening to an album from a guy that died a few weeks ago, it's an album released not long before his death. A few tears of joy and sadness have appeared while listening.
It's a happy sadness.

Is it Mac Miller Boom?

It is.
When the album first came out I put it on the list to listen to. When he died I didn't want to rush into listening to it.
Sunday afternoon is the perfect time.

Seeing my nephew in his high chair with a big smile on his face

and then chatting to my brother and niece last night on video chat, she was rolling around on floor and giving out to her daddy every now and again

, no matter how toxic things are here, the two of them always makes me feel happy and put a smile on my face

It's very good isn't it? Such a shame he died.

It is a very very good album, I'm trying to distance my emotions over his death from the music while listening to it.

I'm also getting my music nerd hat on while listening and looking at the writers and producers involved. Such a mixed bag from big names to unknowns.
There is one song called Wings that is produced and co-written by an artist called Alexander Spit which particularly stands out to me, because I'm a massive fan of Alexander Spit as well. I remember that the 2 of them toured together years when Mac would have been a smaller name, great to see that they still worked together all these years later.

Getting two loads of washing dried on the clothes line in beautiful Autumn sunshine, I'm easily pleased.
