Oh the luxury, I actually didn't get up this morning until 20 to 10, shock horror. There was no one needing to be taken to school, no one delivering things to me at ungodly hours, just peace and quiet - marvellous.
I have today added another category to the blog family. It is called surviving, basically, it is my thoughts and observations about surviving the loss of my husband David. It has been 3 years and I think I am okay now for the most part. Recently one of my friends lost her husband and I felt that I could share some of my thoughts and experiences over the last 3 years which may help anyone who is grieving. I know it sounds macabre and it is one of the categories on the blog which may not suit everyone but if the need arose where some pearls of wisdom from someone who now has the t-shirt, and the DVD it may help.
I ventured into the garden today to pick the rest of the crop of gooseberries. It is my intention, because there is not a great deal of them, to make a pot of fruit jam. With that in mind, I have picked the few blackcurrants that were ripe and will add in some rhubarb to produce a Jungalow fruit jam. I may only get one pot but it is better than letting the fruit go to waste. So I sat in the sunshine with a small pair of scissors topping and tailing each gooseberry individually haha. Quite therapeutic actually.
One of my metal garden swans arrived today and is now gracing my front lawn. It has another friend winging its way towards us as we speak and I feel that it will look really nice and finish off the look I was going for in the front garden.
I completed another 30-minute session with Schellea from Australia this morning. Honing my over 50's body haha.
