TARRAGON & THYME

The weather could not be more different here today we have bright sunshine that is peeking into every nook and cranny of my home invading and brightening up everything.  So different yesterday when it was mostly rain all day. It is still blustery but the light is putting a different complexion on things.  It will not be long before I wend my way to work for another hectic day. I hope you all have a lovely happy day and hopefully I will be able to pop back later on. Catch up soon Pattypan

I have had a brilliant weekend in fact it is coming to a close all too soon.  I went to a fabulous workshop with my friend and mentor Jacqueline Lesley yesterday where she introduced colour and auragraphs to our tool box.  It was a wonderful day where I was with like minded people; some old friends and some new friends.  It was all very enjoyable and I will do a  separate post on this later on in the week.  I went back to my friend's home after the workshop don't know where the time went but it was gone 11 pm before I got home. I think we managed to polish off a couple of bottles of red wine between us.  Lovely Jubbly.  So I didn't get to the veg shop yesterday at all. Today started with OH bringing me breakfast in bed -  [not sure what I had done to deserve this but it went down very well in any event] which was a nice surprise but the weather has been absolutely abysmal today.  Its been a North Easterly hooley and torrential rain....

I have had a fantastic day today, filled with love and lots of colour in the company of very good friends and also making new friends.  I had hoped to post this evening on what I have been up to, but being as I have been late home, it is wet cold and miserable I am going to toddle off and get under the duvet and hopefully have a dream or two; one never knows sometimes they are like buses few and far between and other times i get dream upon dream. It is seriously chucking it down here and the wind is getting up a little bit I have two contented moggies in the warm here both on a settee each both happy; Missy is with his master's voice in the computer room (he ison the computer playing KOC (Kingdoms of Cameolot) Catch up sometime tomorrow Take care Pattypan

Evening everyone hope you are all well and life is treating you well. Some good news this week that after three years out of work my OH has managed to obtain a job - which we are very grateful for he starts the second week in May.  So a little bit of good luck has come our way.  We know we are lucky. I am likely to be missing for most of tomorrow as I am attending a workshop which I am looking forward to.  So no trip to the veggie shop tomorrow for me. I have had a rough week with the dampness and rain, which has seized my system up to some extent and so I have been taking extra pain killers; but most nights this week I have had disturbed sleep either waking because I am uncomfortable or to come downstairs.  It will pass it always does. I have been doing my exercises despite the discomfort. I have had a take away for tea this evening a prawn balti with a rice a real treat very mild but very tasty. This evening suffering from thank god its Friday syndrome I I ...

In the office where I work at the moment we have windows that we cannot open and air conditioning.  We can look out though and see what is happening out and about.  Today we have had torrential rain and it has come down in shed loads and puddles huge ones have formed in seconds.  Today has  reminded us all at work of the kinda weather we used to have when we went on holiday as children.  Happy days for all of us but days when there was loads of rain and we ended up being in the caravan playing board games, listening to the crackly radio  noses pressed up against steamy windows, big sighs at being kept in; and then escaping at the merest lift of the cloud, or the sun coming out or the cessation of rain completely or into light drizzle going to the chippy, getting fish and chips or just chips and eating them out of the paper, with them going soggy if the drizzle persisted.  Perhaps looking  back we see things through rose coloured glasses; but then...

I was passed on an inspirational quote by  friend on Facebook and on looking round You Tube I found this version which I think you may well enjoy and it's raining here in Peterborough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X89rZkKBnPU&feature=related I think its sentiment is rather beautiful and I love the poem We should give thanks for many things I am learning to dance Pattypan x
