Erm, Hello Everybody; It's Me Again

[poliphilo]

So- metaphorically speaking- I went  as far as the street corner, hung around till it got chilly and then came home. There are, I believe, marriages in which this kind of thing happens all the time.

I hope I've been away long enough not to seem a complete fool.

Besides,  I proved to myself I can get by without having the computer on all the time- and that's good.  For the best part of a week, I switched it on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night- and all the rest of the day I did housework, tidied the attic, cooked plum crumble, socialized, read books, watched Ghost Whisperer- and did crossword puzzles.  It was a return to basics. I enjoyed it.

But crossword puzzles or LJ- which is the better use of my time?  No-brainer, that one.  Besides I was lying in bed, composing LJ posts in my head, and it seemed pretty silly not to be writing them down.

You must've made a lot of plum crumble! (How I miss my mum's apple crumble.)

Well... I stayed away from LJ for about a year give or take a month or two, having said I was leaving and would never return. I'm so used to this 'place'.

My father-in-law's plum tree is (for the first time ever) producing huge amounts of fruit. Consequently I've been making a crumble a day- and yesterday I also cooked pork in a plum sauce.

Our neighbour gave us some plums a few days ago and they are absolutely wonderful! Quite astonishing for the climate in Wales!

These are pretty good- and they come from a tree in the Pennine foothills- not at all fruit-growing country.
