Fiona's Quiet Life

I have just been ‘watch­ing ’ a radio play on my tele­vi­sion, not entirely sure why they have to put a film on tele­vi­sion for a radio play, i usu­ally listen to it on my little tele­vi­sion as it is linked up to the secur­ity cam­eras ‚all very strange.
Ihave been neg­lect­ing my blog but have been doing all sorts of use­ful things like throw­ing away hun­dreds of bits of paper and tidy­ing my wardrobe.

him upstairs sud­denly phoned down as said we had missed pan­cake day and as it was now almost Easter we had bet­ter got on with it so we did.he thought one would make a great facepack.

am trad­ing my car in for a new upgraded ver­sion of the one i have.….well it needs a wash.….….….…the new one par­al­lel parks all by itself while i sit there pre­tend­ing i am doing it.….……actually it is the one thing i can do really well but i did bump into a very low bol­lard recently dam­aging my rear end.….….….i heard that com­ment.… i was going to get the demo car ( a pretty blue col­our) but i left ti too late and missed? it but as they gave me? a bet­ter trade in against a new one? it was almost the same price .hav­ing decided to trade in the car i wanted to use up some of my full tank of pet­rol so i went to visit a friend in Falkirk.….…bloody car got 58.5 mpg.….it has never got that before, so there is still nearly a full tank.

still learn­ing to salsa, if i get me feet right i don’t get the arms right, will it ever get bet­ter, but after Monday’s les­son we went up to town to see tigers on Vas­el­ine again (David Bowie trib­ute band) they were doing a char­ity con­cert so i had a good dance there too , good ‘old fash­ioned’ twisting.

got hair­cut yes­ter­day as i was begin­ning to resemble a high­land cow. ate out last night i a Greek res­taur­ant, it was very full of young people mainly girls.….……saw the reason why as we left, there was a hand­some Greek foot­baller who plays for Glas­gow Celtic hav­ing a meal in the front of the restaurant.….….…a good recom­mend­a­tion a Greek per­son eat­ing there,

there is a wind get­ting up , i think i will move the car in Case a tile blows off the roof and messes up my trade in price.

been edit­ing pho­tos for the next com­pet­i­tion here is one of them.….….….….clicking on the pho­tos makes them bigger

Taken to task, and shop­ping by grand­son Cameron today.….….….….hows that for an example of zeugma.….….….……i have been neg­lect­ing my blog , not due to being away or to ill health or depres­sion but to? an addict­ive game called? ‘cradle of Rome’? but now i? have gone from peas­ant to god on mount Olym­pus so i can get on with life again.

drove up from Chip­pen­ham last Sunday it was a beau­ti­ful day and a polar some­thing or other was fore­cast for the Monday and indeed? Monday dawned with? Glas­gow and most of Bri­tain under lots of snow.

dealt with lots of paper­work on Tuesday.….where does it all come from.….….…and it is the end of the fin­an­cial year again in less than a month so the whole thing starts again.

got a bit upset this week? because?? the bank? has at last been informed by the law­yer that one half of the joint account is deceased, that is not what caused me to be upset, it was because i went into the bank and? the teller was very help­ful and i got it all changed? over to just me. what sud­denly out of the blue set me off was her saying.…..“his name will drop off the state­ments soon” and? there it was another bit of him gone.

went up to to prin­cess square to see my photo in situ…strange exper­i­ence to see your own work exhibited.

so Cameron and i went to a new hobby-craft shop this after­noon at ‘the fort’ just off the M8, lots of? craft stuff there i got some? stuff for mount­ing pho­tos but miller’s art shop is still bet­ter for the real stuff.

I am back in Chip­pen­ham, tired but happy.….….…the ferry cross­ing last night was very rough and Nic­ola and Aiden were very sick. France was a bit cold and damp but there was plenty to do.

and we missed the earth­quake, Nicola’s neigh­bours felt their houses shake.….….……i keep miss­ing them , i missed one in Glas­gow a few years ago while on hol­i­day ‚though i was there for the last one but it was only a tiny one.

going home tomor­row as the chil­dren have gen­er­ously given me all their germs and i am tired, i really must work on my res­ist­ance. and any­way i want to see my photo in the exhibition.….…..i will try to photo it in situ.

got to stop , sur­roun­ded by sticky small boys.
