Once again I’ve filched this format from my epal Mushy Cloud
Looking Out of my window sunshine at last and broken branches of trees curtesy of Storm Doris as she busied herself hurling bins around the back alley and, unlike our council, cleaning the streets.
I am thinking… about my visit to Mum and how she’s slipping away. Her stubborn streak doesn’t allow her to accept her forgetfulness and causes friction with anyone who dares suggest it.
I am thankful… for my Gill. God I love that woman. So supportive despite her own frailties.
One of my favourite things… is the meals we eat. Gill has started cooking “properly” with herbs and spices, fresh veg which she cuts and fresh meat too.
I am wearing… comfortable clobber.
I am creating… a family of “kick-arse” kids – Jodie saw off a delivery driver who dared to park in the disable bay.
I am watching… or should I say “binge” watching the Big Bang Theory series again. I love the way Jim plays Sheldon. He denies it’s Aspergic but admits much of it is him. One detail is the red hands he always has – this is actually the actor’s habit of repeating cleansing that causes this, not a makeup thing.
I am reading… Terry Pratchett again. It was the only thing to hand while I wait for some “Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” to arrive.
I am listening to… podcasts when I can. Infinite Monkey Cage is a giggle but I prefer the real life folk on The Moth and the Listening Project. The latter sends out booths to capture couples just chatting about whatever they want.
I am hoping… we hold together as a family despite the changes that are coming our way: Mum’s decline, eldest going to college and work, etc
I am learning… not to underestimate people. Adversity tends to bring out the best in them. Cliche but true.
In the kitchen… Gill’s doing shepherd’s pie from scratch and even I can smell how good it is.

Everything that has a beginning has an ending.
Make your peace with that and all will be well.
