Fiona's Quiet Life

i sur­prised a frog lurk­ing beside my wheelie bin.…it sur­prised me too , i screamed which is silly really but i thought him upstairs might run over it by acci­dent. he didn’t he picked it up and popped it into the pond,people have been dis­be­liev­ing of its col­our and sug­ges­ted i had ‘photo shopped ‘it but no , i have one word for.… them Chro­mo­phores, and as my grand­mother told me fre­quently “look it up”.….easier these days, my poor dys­lexic younger self had to use a dic­tion­ary which was in alpha­bet­ical order, that might seem a good thing to some people but was of no help to me.

i had a sore ear, went to doc, he said noth­ing wrong with it , gave me drops just in case.….which made me deaf and dizzy.….….went to dent­ist just in case it was that , noth­ing wrong with teeth he said. so here i am two weeks later still with slightly sore ear and still dizzy.….not com­plain­ing about the dizzy , it is just like hav­ing too much champagne.…..or in fact any cham­pagne in my case as i get tipsy on even the smell of alcohol.

It is half past nine at night and i am eat­ing left over salads, today we ..him upstairs and me.…got round to hav­ing the party we have been going to have since last year, it had been post­poned twice and this time we said right, whatever the weather we are hav­ing a BBQ,

well it has rained very little in Glas­gow this year but the fore­cast was stormy weather , but we are BRITISH and it IS sum­mer so we WILL enjoy it outside.….….….and we did,the rain stopped an hour before hav­ing washed all the dust off the garden, the sun shone hotly for

old­est grand­son beside his mother and a friend

sev­eral hours and just as i was tired and wish­ing it all to stop the rain star­ted and off every­body went,

superb day, but oh so tired.
