100th post.

Well for this year at least. I daresay, they have been uninspired lately, I just don't want to bore you everlasting with how much I do or don't blame the men that I fall in love with (against all odds and anybody's better judgement) for how unhappy I am. And I am a little unhappy sometimes but not all the time, not very nearly all the time.

Through a child's eyes.

And don't you forget it.

All is (not) well

After the usual ups and weekly downs, the anticipated heartbreak and a fewnice meals. The thinking of (the wrong) him a little too frequently for my own good and resolving problems n the related heart department. Being told what and how to do once too often, being scolded (intentionally) misunderstood and not having had the chance to cook,...

Well it's a long list and despite it, I'm still reasonably stable and contented. It may not last, but this I know: neither will the bad times.

There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling.

Gifts returned to sender

When in a bad bad mood a sure thing to revive my spirits is a randomly produced test to tell me how wonderfull I am. And I know I am, but it is ard to know also I'm hard to love back.



Your Love is Giving



Your love actively and generously. You like to make a difference in other people's lives.

You give freely of your time and resources. You help without even being asked.



You believe that love is a doing word. You rather express your love through actions than words.

You are a truly kind and good person. You are both thoughtful and unselfish.


Yes.

Yes, we have (all five of us) moved out succesfully with the help of many friends who can't be thanked enough.
Yes.
Yes you are all very welcome to come over and see for yourselves what a beautiful high maintenance house we've landed ourselves.
Yes.
Yes. I got two ovens for free, neither of which works as they should, or rather as I hoped.
Yes.
Yes, already all the great plans of making a better place for all of us, cleaner, healthier, cosier, lovelier have fallen to bits.
Yes.
And yes, I am in a bad, a very bad mood as I write this. Beware menfolk. The bitch may well be back.
