Where are you right now? Part 5

Back from a ramble in a dusting of mountain snow. Great to be greeted by a warm house. Coffee's brewing and I'm settling down to read 'Longitude'.

I am couchside with coffee. About to iron the top I'm going to wear today. Then I'll go for a walk and shower when I get back, and possibly do some crochet. I tried it a few years back but I'm enjoying it more now.

Und wie viel kostet die Material??

Und was isst du zum Frühstück? (Jaysus, a guard wouldn't ask you that!!!)

Sitting at the desk wondering how much German I can remember from die Schule and looking out at das schreckliches Wetter...

I haven't a word of it, Google translator is great.

I know some German but am fluent in French. When I was street trading the French visitors were thrilled to find someone they could understand

I understood what both of ye said (mostly) so I can't be too terrible! Taking a break from the German revision.

Dava Sobel's book on John Harrison? If so, you're in for a pleasant afternoon - it's a fantastic book.

I am at my desk with a head like a bear on me. I have sinus infection, the cold has got in to my bones, and - worst of all - I've just found out that a farmer down the road is getting someone in to cut down almost a beautiful ditch of trees that stretches almost a quarter of a mile. Woe betide anyone who tries to talk to me.

Put it on my slate.


Trying to psych myself up to putting the book down and getting the fire set.

I am in Fallon and Byrne having a coffee and caramel slice. A quiet day today. I realised that a lot of the things I loved to do hasn't been happening lately. Changing that

Stoveside. Dreading going out, it looks cold and I’m already freezing.

Good to see you back Graces

Couchside finally with a coffee before the madness starts.. Dinner of homemade meatballs with leeks mushroom carrot and sweet potato is in the oven with a few white potatoes baking beside them.. Smells fyum,
I amazed myself at the gym this morning, I upped all my weights last week and haven't been in since Saturday. Today I didn't even break a sweat, I was that annoying person everyone hates and the trainer was a bit miffed as he prides himself on killing you. So, I have to up my weights again.:o I'll be lifting 50kg on the barbell squats.. Haha. Haven't done that since my best 6 years ago. Did my head a power of good.

Absolutely. And reading it immediately after David Barrie's Sextant really added to the enjoyment.



Watching the fire light.

Listening perforce to the hard heavy rain that has been non stop all the day long. Watching three cats on my bed; two fast asleep, young one watchful... always hungry this one and she knows soon.....

That's happened here beside me recently, a local man cut down all his hedgerows, sickeningly bare looking now.
He's in some scheme that required him to do it, he told me he'd lose his yearly payment without it.
One of his fields backs on to mine, I asked him to leave it, got home and it was cut, really vexed about it, but as the ditch was his side and the dyke mine, he actually owned the hedge and couldn't leave it.
Going home, can't get myself warmed up today, my legs and arms feel like they're a ton weight, I'm getting a dose I think.

Thank you

I was glad to be back until I happened on a torrent of seriously abusive replies to a simple post on another thread. Not the first time and was why I quit last week

This has been happening for weeks now . reported it . well the first few. There were so many

Have a look by all means; the thread on the wee lad stuck in a well, from about post 427 onwards. Would you stay with this going on against you? Do look please ..I read a few tthen hit report ..
Love so many of you so much but unless and until this i s stopped?


Maybe someone who has my email would let me know when IF is safe to come back.
Blessings and peace to all my dear friends here; please do not delete this as I woudl hate folk to think I was ignoring them. Would never ever do that.

Getting the dinner ingredients together. My favourite tonight; homemade burgers and chips.

Close to home, it'll be directly in to bed, no form at all.

Room side

Going for dinner with a colleague in a bit. She's vegan so we're gonna try the new vegan menu at a place in town

Got a really nice top in a charity shop earlier as well. I almost bought more wool in Poundland but I was good and restrained myself

Ariadne

Just after chopping the veg for a lasagna. Like a zombie today I'm so tired. Not really awake or asleep.

Home now,
Girls (or boys!) I have a 15% discount code for ASOS, has to be used I think by 28th Jan. I am on a clothes buying ban. If you want the code the first one to pm me can have it.
