A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER

Today I am in our little office, looking out at our's and our neighbour's garden, over the fence toward the animal sancutary that is the grave yard. Yes! we have a graveyard at the bottom of our garden, full of big fir trees that are home to Woodpeckers, Squirals, and Wood Pigeons amongst others.

It is of course peaceful and I love looking at it and watching life! unfold there.

My neigbour's have a pond full of different types of Lillies, there are Dragon Flies and of course fish. Today the garden is full of butterflies and it is not to warm to enjoy. There is a Squiral doing acrobatics in the biggest tree which is far to enegetic for me. My neighbour is very lucky because thy get the Blue Tits and different finches in their garden, drawn by the traquile nature of the pond, and hanging coconut halves.


Mick took me out for a meal on Thursday night I was desperate for an Indian Meal. He said he had not noticed before but that I was looking ridiculously healthy, 10 years younger in fact and my double chins had gone! nice. What is it that is in this chemo? That is the most bizarre thing, I am feeling better than I could have hoped. I am assured it will be worse, but who cares - I look 10 year younger, yippee. You will see from the picture of me 'dans la' headress that it looks 'tres chic'. My French is of the 'Del Boy' standard as you can see - pretentious 'Moi'.

A big fashion tip coming here, KAFTANS my all time favourite dress (great on it's own, short or long, over jeans, out for a meal, at the beach) My first I brought in 1974 in Morocco in the Casbah they (I brought more than one) were of blue cotton, with white embroidery. Works for Slim or Fuller figure and are comfortable. The 1970's look is back in the shops, I wish I could buy some more, my most recent one is white cotton. A great go anywhere look. It is also very sexy. So much more sexy than fat bellies over jeans! am I just getting old? I am not being fatist just a plea to all who wear the current fad, of short top with trouser or short skirt that exposes naval and tyres - it does you no favours and only works if you are toned. It doesn't even work if you are skinny! If you are pregnant, OK may be but how you dress around the lump makes all the difference.


My new tipple is lots of Clementine juice in a large glass with lots of ice - bliss.

Merlot is a complete blessing, my companion and guard. Mick is nights this weekend so she has a big role to play.

Have a nice day. Love granny
