Fiona's Quiet Life

My face­book page knows when i am play­ing games on my ipod touch.….…..AND tells all my friends what i have been doing and my scores at Wordsworth.….….……i main­tain that i am not in fact play­ing , i am exer­cising my brain,and i do it reli­giously every morn­ing while break­fast­ing in bed and every night before going to sleep with ipod softly telling me war and peace.……53 hours.….….because i sleep bet­ter with back­ground noise.
any­way i have not been idle in the almost week since last blog.
can’t remem­ber exactly what i have been doing it but i have been doing it all day.
bought a lawn mower, who would have thought it was so dif­fi­cult to choose one but it is, even­tu­ally got a self pro­pelling , mulch­ing pet­rol one.
and i have planted sev­eral things in the garden includ­ing some pota­toes that i found sprouted in the cupboard.

i have been to the river fest­ival and gone down the Clyde on the only ocean going paddle steamer left in the world..called the Waverly. too 265 photos.

i have bought a dress for the last bit of the Sikh wed­ding made a beau­ti­ful shawl /scarf thingy with a bit of fab­ric from Man­dors, been sit­ting fringing the edges while watch­ing record­ing of torch­wood.
taken things into char­ity shops to tidy up, bought things in char­ity shops so still not tidy.
work con­tin­ues apace on gar­age and room, the roof is now on , win­dow should arrive next week held up by swine flu.….the excuse of choice at the moment.
today i have been spread­ing manure and plant­ing a fig tree. unlikely to get any figs in west of Scot­land but who knows .
my holier than thou friends main­tain they never have any left over food so don’t need a green cone, i don’t believe it, every one has a bread crust or a bit of bacon rind or veget­able peel of even a bit of mouldy cheese in this weather.my ordin­ary refuse bin now rarely has any­thing in it.
i am sure i had some­thing use­ful to say but no idea what it could have been.
