Fiona's Quiet Life

i have been a little blue over the week­end so no blog but i got a huge amount of house­work done and am very cheer­ful now as today has been a very good day.

my fin­gers are covered in dried paint as i for­got to let a thick coat of hand cream dry on them before i started..well i didn’t mean to do all that paint­ing but i had to do the skirt­ing board before the new floor goes down and that made the rest of the wood­work look dingy so i painted till i ran out of paint…there were a lot of breaks in the work though while i chat­ted with friends and neigh­bours , i did for­get to have morn­ing cof­fee and lunch but i man­aged two after­noon teas and sev­eral pieces of chocol­ate. and a daugh­ter phoned up and sug­ges­ted i might like to join them on a trip to centre parks in France where there would be lots of things for the chil­dren to do and then a couple of days in an hotel eat­ing lots of things french.

the dec­or­ator is going to redo the room that they made such a mess of , he had employed a man without check­ing why he had left his last job.

i wondered last night how many people in Bri­tain ran to look up the work ‘mimsy’ when the advert­ised the film ‘the last mimsy’ i didn’t rush to look up the word

a. because i was too lazy

and

b. because i was pretty cer­tain it was a word made up and found only in the poem Jab­ber­wocky by Lewis Carroll.

i still have lots of paper­work to do con­cern­ing my mother but i cant find any of them as all the fur­niture from the room that they were in is scattered all over the house so that a floor can be laid and i cant find any bits of paper at all.

still can’t find the thingy to take the pho­tos out of my cam­era so no pic­ture tonight

tired now.
