May 19

it is a while since I have blogged.

I have had awful toothache, been on antibiotics, recovered from that and I am now out the other side.

I could not see a dentist ; it was a phone call and a toss up between an extraction ,the only dental option, and antibiotics.

It was a beautiful week the week I was on the meds. I did not feel well enough to go out at all.

Since then I have enjoyed my work which is increasing . I think due to Lock down. It is very tough for all of us but some more than others.

I have contributed to a podcast that my daughter in law is making . She is interviewing folk around the world to hear their experiences of lock down and I enjoyed contributing to that.


I hardly listen to the news these days.I find it too depressing . I think in the end we will all have to make our own decisions about which risks we are willing to take. I worry that like Brexit this pandemic is divisive  or at least the way it has been handled and reported.The rich still have more choices than the rest of us.The Government are not able to unite us ,  we the people ,don't feel safe in their hands.


On the bright side I have plenty flour, thanks to Andrew and Lucy and Marie. It was so good to see A&L in the flesh at my window. I was able to resist my natural inclination to hug them.

I made some cakes for my neighbour's birthday and some small cakes for my shopping tribe.


I enjoy my Zoom glass of wine with them and I enjoyed joining in a quiz with them one night last week.  We won :)
We had a great Zoom with Matthew Marie, Matthew Jeanne and Greg on Saturday afternoon, and when everyone left, Matthew Marie and I  carried on for another two hours. I am becoming used to Zoom  now.

I did my first Zoom supervision session this week and it went well.

I should be in Castalla now for my planned two months holiday. I feel sad I miss castlenel , the sunshine, my neighbours and the cafe's and shops along with my trips to see the Med.


Even though I know none of that is available over there now anyway.

I had two unexpected parcels this week, one from Taiwan and one from Ireland.

From Tailand my parcel was from Philip, it contained a mixture of things.

My favourite is a beautiful shawl  hat he bought in Thailand, a Taiwan tea towel, onion holder, makeup mirror, Winnie the pooh sox.

The Irish parcel was from my old friend Ruth in County Clare , she sent me two colourful masks that she made for me.

I feel the need to expand. I would love to get on a bus into town.A train to Glasgow Central, there is nothing like that feeling when I arrive at that station . A train to London and Cambridge I will certainly go to see the Angel of the North as soon as it is safe to do so.


All shall be well
and all shall be well
and all manner of things shall be well.
