I’ll be ready when the time comes
Which is the best thing to do in your city?
At this moment in time, we live rural-side, Patch n me. Although I’m city girl and central London does feel like my spiritual home, exploring any city really isn’t up there on my to-do list right now.
I sincerely love cultural attractions, especially in the arts, but for now, I’m still getting to grips with and appreciating the stillness and freedom of retirement.
It’s taking a while, and maybe that’s a reflection on just how long the slog has been? Some folk on retirement want to get out there and do the things life had restricted them from doing? I get that, totally.
But I’m coming from this from the other end. I’ve got the tee shirt and I’ll go with that until the time presents itself that it’s time for change.
Super
What super power do you wish you had and why?
Aww, WP, I thought you had refreshed our DP’s- but we have certainly had this one before. I remember saying I’d like to be invisible so I could infiltrate dog-fighting rings and take them all down!
A few others have sprung to mind. The ability to predict this Friday’s EuroMillions lottery. That would be useful. Or failing that maybe with a sweep of my hand my house & car would be spotless, inside and out. Because however hard you try to keep things sparkly, there’s always something off.
Being fluent in multiple languages would be very cool. I know a few people I would love to surprise with the ability to speak in their native tongue.
Or maybe I’ll just be content with being photogenic? That’s not too much to ask, is it? But it escapes me every pic.
Should you have read to the end of this post, I thank you. If you are a fellow blogger here I just want to say that I’m not ignoring anyone at the moment. I’ve simply got other stuff to do. I hope to catch up with you all very soon. It will be interesting to read what superpowers you’d enjoy having. 😉 Bye for now
Too late to ask now
What’s a mystery from your own life that you’ve never solved?
I would be very interested to know why my dad had children.
When Tony found his voice
What’s a moment you wish you could freeze and live in forever?
Tony came to me a battered and bruised street dog. He was severely malnourished, unsteady on his feet, broken.
He began to heal, his cloudy eyes cleared, and then one day out of the blue, he barked for the first time. Emotional, moi? Yup
Rachel from accounts
Do you vote in political elections?
I do vote, yes, but like many of the British public we were mortified how quickly it went pear-shaped.
So, our would-be PM was at the top of his game at the CPS. Trustworthy, solid, believable, eh? Wrong! Day one, after being elected, he hands the reins to his Chancellor. She goes on to completely decimate the landscape so many levels.
Stabbed in the back? You bet. Shocked and dismayed, oh yes.
I have a healthy interest in national and international politics..but we are being governed by imbeciles. Where are the grown-ups?
Whom not What
What gives you direction in life?
This old boy in the picture, Patch, gives me direction in life. Simple as. When we get up and when we go out. He chooses where we go and for how long. He decides when we chill. Do I mind my four –legged friend leading the way, every day, like this? Nah. Not a bit. I would be lost without him.
Thanks Mom💜
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
Some of you guys kind enough to read my blog occasionally, to like/acknowledge and especially to take the time to comment is awesome. Thank you. You may recall me adding quotes often – Seems to me there are a lot of wise folk out there, with interesting and valid things to pass on to us.
But I’m not sure where to start this morning putting them here on the page, to share with you…. Oh yes I do!
The last words my mom said to me were ‘ Count your blessings, Love’
Love Cornwall.
What is your favourite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
I’ve written about spending time down in Cornwall with some friends, more than once WP. We stay in a Shepherds Hut on their land and have a blissful few days. Patch loves the beach, swimming, he has a blast. Seeing him ao happy certainly makes me happy.
This DP will come around again this time next year. Hopefully, I’ll be feeling more creative.
Even the word makes me shudder
Have you ever been camping?
As much as I love nature and being outdoors, camping doesn’t sit right with me. Four Season Hotels–worldwide? Now you’re talking.
Many moons ago, I was patrol leader of the Robins at Girl Guides, in Birmingham, UK. I even got my red camping lanyard, but it didn’t feel great. Just one of those things you did as a kid without question.
Now? Not a chance… Unless..  I think it through. Decide when and where and focus on it being a natural world/wildlife spotting/bonding experience.
It’s not something I could even consider whilst I share a life with Patch… it wouldn’t work on so many levels. Love him
