Fiona's Quiet Life

i am sure i had some­thing to say but i can’t for the life of me remem­ber what it was.

all quiet on my street

the shower is frozen des­pite my leav­ing the heat­ing on all night, my friend Sue has sug­ges­ted i leave the attic hatch open tonight, i think per­haps that is a good idea.

the birds are eat­ing all the old apples i had saved from the tree, i am put­ting them out a few at a time,
yes­ter­day i thought i might never get my new boots off, now i know why people live in pairs.
temp­ted to see if i can walk on the Clyde but don’t want to put my car at risk on the slidey roads.….actually i am too lazy to go out.

went to bring in some logs from the wood pile yes­ter­day but they were all frozen together, didn’t think of that com­plic­a­tion, for­tu­nately there is also a big bas­ket of them in the garage.

i am so glad i got that gar­age built, to go into the car and not have to dig it out of the ice and snow is wonderful.

i have dis­covered what people do in the long winter hol­i­days, they buy books on amazon, i have sold more in the past week than i had done all year.….…..much curs­ing and plod­ding round to the post box.….….…it is still a very slow way of clear­ing out my old books though. i do take lots to char­ity shops but they are sat­ur­ated with books, and i did leave a trail of them all over south America.

there is going to be a bonspiel on the lake of Men­teith, the first for 30 years.….…..so this is global warming.

lunch time.
