I was going to say where does time go how did I ever have time to work….but to be honest we are still holidaying though so its not quite the same thing.. I would have gone back to work this week and K starts back on Monday he he…
We have had a lovely few weeks camping in Llangrannog with all the family, a few days in Yorkshire with John and Jackie and a night inHaddenham with Chis and Rob which has been marvelous… don’t think I used to say marvelous but its soo true!!! any way way must go before my time runs out …..
“The sounds are different. There’s the sound someone having to firmly shut the front door so it doesn’t pop open. Voices as they pass the bottom of the stairs. The pull cord light switch in the bathroom, the memory that will always be associated with it – of the girl who lived in the village and who lost a tooth pulling a light switch like it. The sounds curving round from the pub car park because the side windows aren’t double glazed, always seeming closer then they are and faintly threatening. They’re all gone, replaced by new sounds that are unfamiliar and that are yet to be placed or accustomed to. There are smells, some new and some that cause memories to sharply swim into focus. I think it’s the tobacco, it reminds me of my first student house. The whole house now hovers at the back of my mind when i become aware of the smell. The long hallway, the steep stairs and they’re always being someone home. “
Omars blog entry made me kinda sad that I had forgotten so quickly; I must make a point of stopping and taking in all the everyday things that I so obviously take for granted……..now that I am retired!
I am sitting in an internet cafe in Gloucester ( which I never thought I would do) because we are currently of no fixed abode… which actually makes life rather complictated… I wouldn’t like to live this way for long!! Having said that Paul, who we are living with, is absolutely brilliant, but ordering things or trying to arrange to get online etc. well you can forget it.
The last few weeks have been interesting; moving house, floods, electricity cuts, water shortages etc. etc.
Anyway must close beacause my time is running out: hope to write again soon and really look forward to receiving comments!!! Please…………………
