My LOVELY GM swapped my old monitor for a new one, a wide screen, I LOVE it
It was a week when LOVE was at the forefront, Valentine's day
Lyssa was asking about my calendar, it's a whole year one, this photo should explain how it works
I've sown a few seeds
Some tomato seedlings from an earlier sowing are already showing
And now I'm off on an adventure, which I'll tell you about next time
I trust you've enjoyed a LOVE-filled week?
Not a lot different really, although some of the spring bulbs are slightly taller.
January
February
I LOVE it when the daffodils start to open, a real sign that winter's almost gone. I don't have any of my own open yet, I spotted these while out walking.
I LOVE photography, and playing around with my camera. I LOVE that this setting makes Serena look like a toy.
I LOVE my yarden, and can't wait to get out there to start putting seeds and stuff in the mini-greenhouses (the second one is yet to be put together)
All the while that we had Cassie I was reluctant to encourage birds into the yarden, but now that she's been gone for a couple of years, and we don't appear to have too many visiting neighbourhood cats, I LOVE the idea of a couple of nesting boxes on the side of the garage, 43A and 43BEE, watch this space.
I had to go with GM for a tooth extraction, as he wouldn't be able to drive himself home after the anaesthetic. I waited in the car for most of the time, as it was too cold to go out walking. I was pleased to not be too far away from the Assembly point, should it be necessary.
First of all I thought this was one of the most amusing misspellings of our surname that I've ever seen, and then I realised it was his allergy tag!
As you are probably aware, I LOVE to have a jigsaw puzzle on the go, this is my latest completion, it was actually more difficult than I'd expected.
I get the majority of my exercise these days by walking, and I do LOVE to get out and about whenever I can, however the weather has been so dull, dreary and cold just lately that I've been walking about indoors. Rather than wearing the carpet out, I bought myself a new toy, she's called Tess.
How was your week? Full of things you LOVE, I hope.
. . . by sending out ripples of influence.
I'm part of an amazing group of women over the age of 50, called The Silver Tent. There are over 7000 of us, each one of us "A unique stitch in the cardigan of life", challenging the perception of the older woman. Click here to read all about us, and please contact me if you are a woman over 50 and would like to be invited to join us.
It's always great to start a new year, although January is often cold, and seems to last far longer than its actual 31 days. I completed my monthly Woodoku challenge,
however, the "Walk 1000 miles in 2025" did not get off to a great start, with a target of 85 miles for the 31 days, I fell a bit short (with plenty of year left, I'm not too upset)
Otherwise, I LOVE how the month progressed and ended, the blanket is halfway done, I had a reasonable charity shop haul, the suncatcher actually caught some sun, new pink accessories brightened up the bathroom, and the avocado tree is showing new growth.
Our Ginger One had a birthday (he was born on the same day as my dad's birthday, 74 years later)
And - this piece of paper in my purse promises to be an entry to an amazing amount of summer fun, starting in April, Watch This Space
Now that we're into February, I start thinking once more about the main LOVE of my life (after family, of course), the Yarden. This year, our 5th season at 43, I'm expecting wonders. Another WTS
How was your week?
I LOVE them. During the winter of 23/24 I bought quite a few, and wore them all. This year I seem to have worn my two favourites mostly.
Here are all the winter hats that I currently own, summer ones will come out when it warms up a bit.
How many hats do you have? And how often do you wear them.
January has been a wonderfully successful month of manifesting, without even really trying.
1. An early-bird reduced price season ticket for Bowood House.
2. Accommodation and a lift there and back for the Silverfest gathering in April.
3. A new penfriend.
4. A new (to me) blue denim skirt.
5. Two free books.
6. A fun couple of hours at a soft-play centre with two of my GDs.
7. A trip to Tunbridge Wells next month
How was your January?
