NST April 2023: April adventurising

Starlight_at_Sea

Well done turtles, one and all! Inspiring updates, each at our own pace.Looking forward to pupdates @facethemusic! 

I am just popping on to record for posterity that I have completed a major frog-eating challenge, a griefy annual form that spans multiple tax jurisdictions. It's a tedious but essential thing to unlock the ability for DD to study abroad, but it reduces me to tears and is the subject of much procrastination each year. I did not want to carry this into May or onto any more lists, so it's done! Phew!!!

@f0xh0les took me a while to figure out what the "S" word is, lol.
Hopefully the weather warms up soon 

They use to be called sun dresses, or  summer dresses -  because that really was the only 3 days a year that it was warm enough to wear them, now they are just  dresses because someone invented 'travel' so that the  blue people off The Island can live out their fantasy lobster life.

Well I was hoping to catch up but a long post I wrote a couple  of days ago has gone in to the ether.

I'm not sure if numbering me unlucky 13 has had an effect.

Hugs and positive outcomes for those having difficult times.

Forcing myself to walk to the Coop a couple of days ago wiped my out.The shop was well stocked they had loads of lovely organic  fairtrade bananas GMN.

The ever growing orders from the big river site has been productive but exhausting. The other day there was a card in the hall at the crack of dawn/ I'd been downstairs for hours and no one had knocked on the door It was from Parcel Force. Amazon sropped using them here years ago my heart sank but I had a look outside and finally found a big very heavy box behind my black bin and wedged against the garage door. Safe but why not knock on the  door.

Another card in the hall yeasterday whwn I was again in the front room after another sleepless night. This time parclel has been taken to a Post Office. Not the one at the top of the road with an Amazon counter but one miles away. That will be a taxi job.

As a Man U fan I hope the march didn't grt in your way all the feedback I've had is it was peaceful and well policed unlie the one when Old Trafford was breached.

We have talked about pacing over the years and you really need to try it rather than going beyond your limits. Two years ago I realused shopping in a touest town in the busy season was a bad show. Air Show Flower show and everyhing else are due to hsppen now so I.m sticking with little Coop and now the big river site.

I managed to get in the back garden a couple of weeks ago. The other day I was in the front one debating whether to go to the Coop and cutting some trees.

It was breezy and coolishbut the sun was out. I do't know if you remember me having to cut back the trees a couple of years ago with the help of two good friends. I had to order a new pair of Left Handed secataurs as mine had done a vanishing act. Felco are very expensive but the big river site delivered them promptly.

In your position I would have concentrated on other things outside before ordering plants. The hollies and other trees and shrubs a gardener told me would die haven't and I was listening to the robins and blackbirds best beloved cat used to watch as he sat under the tree watching them were singing away it was lovely and so was seeing buds and signs of future red berries on the Hollies.

Reading posts from Beanie and others you need to stop pushing and going further than sensible when you go out.

I was reading about Freddies freind auctioning his treasures including his skimpy leather shorts. That fan meeting tok place in this town and the auctioneer I mentioned to you was the person who has verified they are genuine

I have no idea if you have heard back from DWP about your exs bequest to the boys. It could be worth following that up then you may be able to send the vinyl to auction and help DS3, Beloved and the Chinchillas find a home of ther own

Take care and take it easy.

Many years ago when David Tennant became the new Doctor he became my Dcotor and I watched every episode and all the Christmas specials until saying I don't want to go yet he stepped in to the Tardis to save Albert. Oh how I cried.. I've found it quite comforting to have been able to watch all those boxsets I'm looking forward to the Return of the Doctor.

Over the years I collected every episode in boxsets along with the Christmas Specials. My childeren grew very tired of me playing all those DVDs over the festive seasons. Not again mum they would cry but the tradition remained.

I have found it very comforting to be able to live all those years again .and am looking forward to the Return of the Doctor.. I watched the trailer a while ago and gasped when the door of the Tardis opened and out stepped my Doctor.

You could be right I seem to have become a time traveller myself.
