Jogging Along

It rains, it blows, but not continuously. Yesterday morning there was a brief interlude of mild sunny weather which was as fine as can be expected of January.

I'm building two bonfires. Most days I spend twenty minutes or so walking round the fields picking up sticks.

My mother had a stomach upset yesterday. Much of the morning was taken up with washing bedclothes and then washing them again. I'm normally squeamish but I can put squeamishness aside when necessary. I think my mother has forgotten about the incident now- which is good because it was distressing and embarrassing. We had to buy her a new pair of slippers- and I was hoping I wouldn't have to explain why; I didn't.  As I was helping her into them this morning she remarked that her feet seemed to have got bigger.

Thank You, Whoever You Are

Ailz couldn't find the pencil sharpener. We looked all over the work table and finally gave up.

A couple of minutes later Ailz spotted it-  right under our noses- in full view- on a part of the table we thought we'd searched thoroughly.
