Planning, Sorting and Producing

Introduction

Good Evening to all you lovely people at the Great WA Family, as always do so hope that you are all keeping both safe and well, and as Winter starts to draw closer in the Northern Hemisphere also warm.

A title to get your thoughts going in a number of ways, thought that I would get your grey cells working as I write this before I make my Evening meal, in fact it is even possible that I have a break and have my Evening meal for reasons which I will explain.

Think it was about 093 0 when I deigned to rise this morning, I had a liesurely breakfast, then did some washing, when that was hung out, as it is the end of the month thought that I would pop up to the ATM and check my accounts so I could decide which ones I could use tomorrow when I pay my bills.

It was almost time to prepare lunch, I did give myself a little treat today, a cup of soup, then Pulled Pork with Barbeque Sauce, Roast Potatoes, and Honeyed Roast Parsnips, it was absolutely lovely, followed by a High Protien Chocolate and Vanilla Cheesecake, to finish a couple of cream crackers with St. Auger Cheese, must not forget just one glass of Malbec. I then sat in my chair with a cup of tea. It had gone chilly in the front room so I put the fire on, that was a mistake I dropped off and woke around 6pm!

Made a cuppa, brought the washing in and put it on the airer to finish off and then started my weekly blog to you lovely people.

The Last Few Days

Will start with yesterday, I went to see the Christmas Lights being switched on, it was as always a very pleasant occasion, I met up with a number of people that I had not seen for a long time. After the reception was shown to my seat in the VIP enclosure, front row this year!! Could be my age!!

As always I did have a little wander meeting more people that I knew, must confess that at the start that I felt it hard knowing that Yvonne would not be there when I got home, but the Christmas Music and general good cheer did do me a lot of good. The lights were lovely as usual, this year the front of the Town Hall was covered in lights, it looked truely spectacular. We all missed the fire works, they were stopped some years ago as people complained that it upset their animals.

When I got home made myself some supper had a glass of Malbec (alright two or three) before I retired for the evening, after a most pleasant day.

Have been having a general think about the future, which in some ways explains the title of this weeks blog. It is time that I set out a plan for certainly the next twelve months if not my future, I will always love and miss Yvonne, but she is in a better place now, I have to accept this and get on with my live, it does not detract from my feelings and thoughts.

Getting peckish, just put a pan of water on to boil, I fancy a couple of boiled eggs tonight, followed by a slice of Chocolate cake.

Watched a couple of painting videos this week, to get me back in the swing of things when I get the brushes out again!! The other week I saw a wooden carry box for artists, this was complete with everything for the artist who uses acrillics which I do, so I bought it, I have had a similar one for many years which I have my water colour pencils in, this goes with me on holiday, so I thought another for around the garden would be useful.

I went to the Garden Centre where I used to work, as always received a lovely welcome from the staff, some of whom I trained, had a spot of lunch in the Cafe, also bought a Santa on his sleigh, with six reindeers, this lights up, I have just switched it on , it is in the window, on the window ledge in the front room, a lot of folk round here do have displays in their front rooms, also on the front of their houses, thought the I would join them this year.

The Eggs are ready, back soon.

They were very nice, it took me back to our Sunday Tea before Yvonne was taken poorly, She often cooked that for me on a Sunday, poured a cuppa out and will eat my Chovalate Cake, whilst we chat, or I type!

Pleased to say that my six monthly check up at the Dentists went OK. Gillian was unable to call this week, due to her dental appointment.

The Next Few Days

Thinking of the future, as you are aware I would like to redesign the garden, when I was in the Garden Centre I saw some very water features, would not mind having one, have always liked water in the garden. It dawned on me that when I working at the Garden centre that I qualified as a Garden Designer, in fact i was half way through the general gardening degree course when I left. It is an idea that I look at my course notes to see if anything comes to mind regarding my garden here!

I have a feeling that I could be at Legion Branch Meeting on Tuesday, do know that I am at a SGM of the Cricket Club, on Wednesday we have to ratify some rule changes from the ECB, it will not take long, but it will be nice to see some of the members again. The fixture list came out this week.

With luck I hope to get an A4 sheet of paper out and make a start on planning the future, I have started to look at the new offerings on WA, looks really good.

If I do not close soon, you will take forever to read this. It would appear that I am in a really good place tonight.

Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy.

Please do take care and stay safe.

God Bless
