...and by the time I got to the end of them and thought Oh-I'm-sleepy-but-I-must-post, my next question was but what about...? But here I am at last, so let's see what we've got!

Thursday was Bath day again, the third one, but for some reason it just wasn't happening for me, which was annoying - the writing group, I mean. I was there, but there ( Read more... )

Ooh yes, the banner does rather fit a Victorian story. See, it is written! Well, of course actually it's not (yet) because that's the whole idea but perhaps in a in-the-runes kind of way... /burbles.

Yes! It is... almost-will-be-going-to-be-written! *admires burbles which sparkle in the light*

You made me smile - love the photo - very 'atmospheric' too.. = great start to the challenge. We're expecting 34 degrees today so am thinking I might try and get my daily 10 000 step walk along the foreshore out of the way before it really starts cooking the pavement. Sounds like a lot but I can do the whole thing in about 45 mins and it is all flat ground. I'm about to go home-hunting myself starting today[yay]. Need to move out of Chez-Bedsit and into something with a bit more space; where I can finally unpack and create something that resembles 'home' after a year spent living out of suitcases and boxes. Here's hoping....Kiashi

It's supposed to be nice here today too - well, not 34, but 16C or so! In fact the sun is out and the birds are playing as I type! Probably the last decent drying day though, so I must try and get some washing done!

10k steps does sound like alot - but in a good way, and especially out by the sea. Bliss...

And house-hunting! Well, you know I've just been there, so I know just how you feel about living from suitcases and boxes (and a storage unit, in my case). Good luck with it - may you find a wonderful home! *g*

Thank you for your kind wishes. As we both know searching for a 'right now' home, never mind a 'forever' home isn't easy. It is interesting that you mentioned having "the last decent drying day" for awhile; as yesterday our weather was perfect for that too. I hand washed a shirt and left it to drip-dry in the scorching sun, and barely two hours later it was done to a toasty turn. Seriously the walking thing is a doddle. The path I use is about to be renamed "Lover's Walk" after a centuary of being called that anyway and it is very popular with all ages and persuasions. I do feel a tad envious of all happy couples I see strolling hand in hand and I often imagine our boys going for a run along there, or a horse ride when the tide is out...[sighs longingly]... Kiashi

Again, sorry - I've clearly lost all track of replies I should have made!

I think our drying days are long over here - one thing I do rather miss about Australia! I do like your idea of imagining the lads on your walking path, too. *g*
