Today I pick up where I left off yesterday because the honest truth is that I didn’t do much yesterday....I got side tracked by well meaning friends and although my suitcase is still where it was, in my study there’s not much more in it. So lying in bed this morning I remembered the big mess I got into the last time I packed for a cruise. I spent days searching for specific items of evening wear because on a big ship is the only time they are worn....here in rural Cornwall there’s no call for velvet jackets and embroidered tops.
So this morning I got out of bed very early to look for the stuff I’d failed to find last time and there they were....ready to hand in a corner of my wardrobe just waiting to be packed! So that’s sorted now!
Then I had to make a decision. Was I going to church? No was the answer...it would only complicate matters which so far are running smoothly. Doing my own thing in this regard is also easy...praying tends to be a very selfish thing just before I take off around the world again....time to pray for world peace once I’m on my way!
The sun shines here today. Yesterday a friend with a dog arrived late in the afternoon and a stroll around my garden showed lots of mole activity. The dog sniffed around the worst ones and I’m hoping she left a canine scent around the place... I don’t want to arrive home to a succession of mole hills!
Tomorrow I have to go into the village to pick up medication but during the quiet season the pharmacy is often closed once the visitors have gone...so that’s another small anxiety to cope with..
As you will have gathered dear reader small complications are taking up far too much space in my head at the moment...I must try to remember why I’m still cruising and the joy it brings to set off on a big ship to see wonderful places . I am a very fortunate woman still!
But I’ll feel much better once I’m on my way!
