Travelling On

Betterthanever

Ooh, ooh.....can I join the Queen's Guide club?! Still have my badge!!

Morning! I have badges that may substitute for me joining in .... gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and the Head Girl's badge - which is actually solid silver

A fair bit of ibuprofen is heading my way today, I overdid the sawing on the laurel - some pretty deep down aches are the result, I'm afraid. More bah humbug, but plenty of things can be done instead (unfortunately :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

I know hunny :kisses3: I did my best to catch up with the Guides. But you can't make up for lost time, you can only start from where you are.



Scrambling a bit today, it's a little unnerving when people offer you their seat on the train :eek: what on earth do I look like if they do that?

I remember when (sound like my Grandma don't I?:eek:) well-mannered men would offer their seat on a train or bus to a woman regardless of their age. Someone was just trying to be nice to you that's all:)

:kisses3: thanks CBC. The one yesterday was a man, thats true, last week it was a young woman! Even in SE England, serious levels of politeness are not dead


Feeling a bit better today, though didn't sleep particularly well, and the first thing I saw when I opened my curtains is another act of kindness. Because I was out yesterday, I haven't yet used the green bin my kind neighbour lent me, I'd just stacked the long branches next to it, and I was planning on cutting them up this weekend, to get as much in as possible. He's come over to my driveway, and done it himself the quality of the wine that I owe him is going up and up I'm definitely going to carry on reaching out here, and not just relying on family, because really, people are very kind. It's a trait I value.


So today, though, is an indoor day - it's grey and bleak out there physically. Finalise the banking, see to the post (its that twice a week thing!), get the rubbish out for tomorrow, and, tan-ta-ra, find the Christmas cards :xmassmile

How lovely of your neighbour

That's great that your neighbour is helpful and it's great when there's a feeling of community in an area.
