Morning everyone
Another thunderous start to the day.
I only lived alone for a few weeks between me moving to Mangakino and when my parents came down. But for some reason I knew I would love living my last years alone. I Love it.. although I am in a routine and I hate them, so some days I dont do things just to throw the spanner in the works.. Hardest time was when my mother moved in, I was the meat in the sandwich of a stroppy mother who loved control and a Narcissistic husband. But I realise now he asked my mother to move in to make him look good.
My Grandmother Fathers side loved living alone, but I asked her one day why she never remarried. she replied with cos I knew Id never love anyone as much as your Grandfather.. her mother split them up.
And having a group of online friends is terrific support. I wouldn't have got through all the rest home stuff without you ladies,, and a lot of other stuff.
KM your garden will be what keeps you going. We need something to occupy our minds. Make sure you eat well and keep your strength up for visiting.
I finished a border of about 10cms deep of black on the picture of the dragon yesterday. Will treat myself to some colours today. There's still a lot of black but having the border done means I can swap between colours and black. I've decided to give it to Dianne for her birthday next month.
A Memory came up on my fb last night of the sparrows in the trees I did. 6 years ago... that's gone fast. Thats one I could do again cos I loved it. But I gave it to Gayle lol.
Have a fab day all.
