  • Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better,
    To paint a picture or write a letter.
    Bake a cake or plant a seed,
    Ponder the difference between want and need.

    Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
    With rivers to swim and mountains to climb.
    Music to hear and books to read,
    Friends to cherish and life to lead.

    Dust if you must, but the world’s out there,
    With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair.
    A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
    This day will not come around again.

    Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
    Old age will come and it’s not kind
    And when you go – and go you must,
    You, yourself, will make more dust.

    Hi Cal - I've never needed an excuse :rotfl:

    Yes, you'll need to register with Folk$y - I don't think it's too onerous though. What great timing - I have art spending to make amends for :o Thank you so much.

    Woop, I didn't even have to make an account. Nice and simple :)

    You know my real name and address now :eek:

    No thanks for me, thanks to you for beautiful art I can't resist. (I see what you did there with your lilies and loaves, you were just building a foundation and buttering us up for this moment! ;) )

    Don't worry I won't 'out' you. Might pop round for a cup of tea if ever I'm passing though :rotfl:

    Loaves... buttering... :rotfl:

    I'm not worried - but as you can see, I have a unique name! You certainly find me on Googling! :rotfl:

    Loaves and buttering! I'm a metaphor genius! :T

    Okay, going to do some work now. Honest :o

  • Things have got very busy all of a sudden but I must take the time to pop in and track my spending - don't want things to start drifting. DS2 and his girlfiend are coming to stay for the weekend so this week I shall be mainly cleaning the house!
    • popped out to the Post Office yesterday to post 2 pictures and a Fleabay item
    • did all the upstairs dusting and 2 loads of washing
    • a hour's admin work
    • Prawn and Bean Noodle Salad from the meal plan for supper
    No painting recently as we were away for a wedding this weekend. We called in to deliver the car painting on the way back - my friend was delighted and we got to see the real thing too. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it.

    Have a good week everyone.
