The beautiful warm weather is tempting me out . I am remembering the reasons for me coming to live here...
And yet I somehow don’t go out to swim, sit on beaches or walk the cliffs.
I spend more time in my garden ...there’s a lot to do after a fortnight of warm sun.
I have stopped boating now.
The church feels as though it’s given me up as I grow old ungracefully.
Old friends still need visits...both from me and to me.
I lack a dog to walk or any other living creature to look after.
So I’ve booked the next cruise...in September I go back across the Atlantic .
It’s very important to have things to look forward to..so I’m trying...
Since our rectors retirement last weekend I have realised that I too am surplus to requirements.
Getting all my ducks in a reasonable row is taking more time .
I booked my car in for its yearly trip to the garage to get its MOT yesterday.
Whilst it’s away my new smart electricity meter is being installed...
After that I have a remarkably empty diary through July and August.
I am ignoring my birthday. It was bad enough being 80 last year.
Being 81 is just silly.
Feeling surplus to requirements is I think the best way to describe my present situation.
But I can do this.....
My life is very good by anyone’s standards...I am just reacting to a new set of circumstances.....but I don’t have to like them!
