Fiona's Quiet Life

so much hap­pens in my quiet life that this blog has been neg­lected and i have been taken to task by a reader or two, so here i am.….…..i was going to be doing it earlier but i was dis­trac­ted by the per­son who was com­plain­ing about my not writ­ing
i have to think back on my week now and i have for­got­ten what has been going on.
yes­ter­day was the 10 k women’s .….…..i saw one man in drag.….….….race so yet again there were thou­sands of women run­ning down my street, it was a hot day so Judy next door star­ted to hand out bottles then cups of water and i helped her never had so many people say ’ bless you ’ to me. , most of the run­ners were wear­ing pink T shirts so the view from the top of the street looked like a sea of pink blancmange.

then i took over to Mar­isa a huge para­sol to go with her new patio table and a fridge that runs off the car bat­tery that i had for basils insulin she can use it for camer­ons insulin on long trips, i was col­lect­ing seed pota­tos from a free­cycler as i had left it too late to buy some and was reduced to mak­ing my friends search for sprout­ing tat­ties in the back of their fridges and cup­boards.
i took cameron with me then we went round his local streets pho­to­graph­ing street lamps he has quite a col­lec­tion of pho­tos it is amaz­ing the dif­fer­ences there are between them all, there is a web­site about them he tells me.

before all that him upstairs took off my huge heavy storm doors so that i could get the porch replastered because it was all crumbly and ugly , it is now nice and smooth so i shall be attack­ing it with a paint brush. and while we were at it i got him to remove the old broken cup­board round the fuse­box so that is my next task fit­ting a nice new one.

and i have sold 8 books on ebay
and 6 books on amazon

i cant remem­ber if i men­tioned my trip to falkirk to deliver the travel cot that i had sold on ebay,.….….…when i saw the address i offered to deliver as it was very near where i used to live and i could visit my old friend in her nurs­ing home as well. she used to have a green­house and kept me sup­plied with toma­tos for many years so i took her a tomato plant covered in tiny sweet toma­tos but they wouldn’t let me take it in in case it has a dis­ease.….….…??? beats me !!
sat­urday night i was at a party at my niece’s house in the same road as this one they have lived in the house for 24 years and are mov­ing out soon it was good to be able to walk to it though Roslyn drove me the short way home.
i am tired now due to salsa tonight.
