..it's all most peculiar...

...trying to find the humour in things....

Rain: a lot • Mud:even more • Sun:finally came out to play • Car noises:0

Well we're in May, well into May and the heating is back on at home, how did that happen, where did these big frosts come from, go away it's supposed to be Spring ha ha!!

So I'm looking at the garden....and still looking at it....the beauty of being supposedly newly single last year, was that I would never have to tackle these tangled weeds again....but here they are, popping up as they do all over...last weeks dandelion massacre has got me nowhere and it's looking like the spraygun needs to make a re-appearance, if I haven't got rid of it on freecycle in mass clearout...

Then all of a sudden, social invite......oh crikey that's good (first response) and then...oh no!!! Groan what do I wear...sound like typical middle-aged female moan, but I have nothing to wear, I have numerous pairs of technical running pants/shorts/winter thermal and fleeces to match but, I have no proper clothes that fit. Waist seems to be making a run for it, all by itself and has expanded several times over winter so new pants bought at Christmas are now teeny weeny...

Oh no....shoes....do I have to wear shoes....I only wear boots and wellies, even to go shopping cos at Aldi no-one notices, not like snooty Sainsbury's where even the till operators are dressed with more fashion sense than me...and are certainly cleaner too ha ha!! Going training in very dirty horse arenas had the effect of super dirty ingrained mucky fingers from putting the weaves away and pulling the dogs off eating things they shouldn't.

So watch this space, I need to go shopping....oh I dislike shopping soooo much!!...and then there's the haircut....

Life is strange...

Life is strange, people say more than fiction and I used to wonder how on earth people had such complex lives....until mine went tits up too!!

Having 3 labradors as my main companions can't be viewed as normal in most people's eyes but, luckily for me, my friends are in total agreement and have canine buddies of their own. They don't lie, cheat or try and spend all you money by whiley means (even though the bank balance does tend to be spent on them out of choice lol).

So at the moment, my partner of over 31 years has dumped me....a year ago! We are still living in the same house....my daughter has had a baby, had a house, wrecked the house and moved in with her just-come-out-of-prison boyfriend's grandma....my house is full of everyone's furniture so can't sell the house...ex partner has had 2 leg ops and now his wound won't heal up, you get the idea ha ha!!!

So this blog is a way of keeping sane in words, I love my life, scarred as it is, I love my children as long as they stay away from my bank account (son at Uni on obscure music-tech course) and I have some great friends, all made through either having breast cancer or through my life in dog agility (best way to keep sane in insane world!!)

Today first off-spring grand-daughter has a cold so daughter has finally rung after 2 weeks silence (in which I refused to give in to her - result!)....ex.partner Mr Grumpy annoyed me intently on way to work this morning by actually just being in the house and looking outside it's grey, rainy and v murky...

Good news though, car noise :0!!

Son will be world famous music producer (if he can possibly venture out of bed sometime soon)...

Excellent :-)
