Fiona's Quiet Life

been say­ing to people “it’s going on me blog” for weeks but when it comes to it i have for­got­ten what ever it was that was so inter­est­ing , and i am too lazy anyway.….….……but him upstairs was hav­ing lim­ited con­nectiv­ity on his inter­net access , so i tried his on mine and it was fine, so he is either unplug­ging everything upstairs or he is access­ing the inter­net via my connection.….….symbiotic or what?.…so to test the con­nec­tion i had to go onto a site so here i am.

the upstairs ‚down­stairs sym­bi­ot­ics are so good.….a couple of days ago i had to send him a text from the garden …he had the build­ers in and i didn t want to dis­turb negotiations.….….…..my text reading.…damson and dam­sel in distress.…..why? because
free­share again.…somebody had offered a dam­son tree to be col­lec­ted, about two meters tall, no prob­lem i have had things that big in the car before. but of course it was in a large pot of damp heavy soil.
well the nice lady and i got it in the car,i tied the hatch closed and come home.….….….…..could I get it out again.….…..could I hell.….……i pulled, i pushed, i tied rope to the bucket thing, no use it just got fur­ther wedged.….….I swore…then i texted…down came him upstairs and two burly builders.….….….them as did my extension.….….…they hadn’t got the text yet and i heard them say­ing ” there is a tree in her car shall we get it out, maybe she wants it in , “ please please out “ says i .and within seconds it was out of the car and car­ried about the garden till the per­fect place was found for it.

and i gave the nice tree lady sev­eral boxes and lots of bubble wrap for her house move so the freeshere thing felt very good.

also he has men­ded my door­bell so peace is over.

it does go both ways,he had a hungry guest a couple of days ago and i was able to provide sustenance.…mind you that was only because the super­mar­ket with its clever strategy of giv­ing you a money off voucher provided you spend £50, they suck you in with it which is why i usu­ally stay away from them, any­way i determ­ined to spend £50 so actu­ally spent £90 which is why i had spare food.….i did buy house­hold items as well and pic­ture frames which i needed due to all this photography.

i have been photo editing…going to enter this one for the annual competition.

i sur­vived hav­ing a house­ful of boys over the half term holiday.….in fact it was quite fun.….….…..cameron was here first and we drove all over Fife tak­ing pho­to­graphs of streetlamps.…..its an asper­gers thing.….……then younger daugh­ter Nic and hus­band Chris brought the wee boys to stay.…things were lively .they are now into Harry Pot­ter so were rushing­about on broom­sticks shout­ing “expelli­am­ous”. we all went to cinema to see megamind…good fun and inter­est­ing.and we had an orgy of bubble wrap popping.…..and bubble bathing.

but also great fun was had play­ing a card game called Scabby Aggy and sev­eral other games i can’t remem­ber the names of.

once the wee ones were in bed Cameron , N icola and i took apart a couple of old laptops that was huge fun.….…we spent hours play­ing with the bits.….like mak­ing the fans work with wire and bat­ter­ies…or mak­ing faces behind bits of the screen.….….…..i have my ‘memory’ in a pic­ture frame with the legend ‘in case of alzheimer’s break glass’ on it.……this is so weird…i went off just now to pho­to­graph it for the blog and i can’t find it.…feeling freaked now.

spring is in the air, bulbs are up in the garden and there is the prom­ise of pies to come in the rhubarb.….…not in the rhu­barb.…...you know very well what i meant.
