Very good advice. I owe you a thank you today as thanks to you, I created a utube account for myself-yeah! I am spending the day cleaning which I always like as it clears my head. Catriona
Yup, my life too. You cannot fight it (in my case husband’s Parkinson’s Disease) so I just accept it. Our days are very slow … so plenty of time to smell the roses. I try and channel my dad who was my mum’s prime carer for four years and he was always patient and never showed any frustration. Thank goodness for my best and oldest friend (her father had Parkinson’s too) and with whom I spent a much-needed few hours yesterday. My other wonderful support is my 30-year-old son who is cycling the South Downs this weekend and will be here on Sunday and Monday to finish mowing the meadow for me. Next year I am thinking about borrowing a few sheep to do the job. I’m advised by my sheep farmer and wool spinning friend that a month of hard grazing from the end of August by five sheep who haven’t been wormed for at least six weeks is what I need. Did you use sheep to graze the grassland at your Welsh smallholding Sue? Sarah in Sussex
Yes, we used sheep to keep our paddock and end-field grass down for most of the year. A local shepherd kept a few of his flock on our land, in return for the grazing he dosed and sheared our couple of sheep ... a rescue that wandered in and stayed and her lambs one born each year. http://ournewlifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/2016/01/sheep-and-yorkshire-shepherdess.html

This perfectly describes my life at the moment. And than "an" is annoying :)
ReplyDeleteI think most of us are just trying to stay sane. 🙂
DeleteGood advice, sometimes harder to do than you'd think. Also annoyed by the 'an.' LOL! :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. 🙂
DeleteIt's good advice x
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
It's hard advice to take sometimes though isn't it.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I hope you enjoy it. 😃
DeleteJust imagine an apostrophe after the ‘an’ if that makes it any less annoying 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteArrgghh ... 😄😬🤣😂
DeleteWise words, but the 'an' is also annoying me. X
ReplyDeleteHaha ... it seems I'm not the only one. 😄
DeleteIn other words, "Live in the present". Proof reading is a lost art, I think.
ReplyDeleteMuch more simply put. 🙂
DeleteLetting go and accepting is often harder than we think.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely , I couldn't agree more.
DeleteMy life exactly! Proof reading is a thing of the past I think.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely was true of yesterday. 🫤
DeleteI don't think people proof read at all any longer.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
So many mistakes in so many places. I better be super careful with my replies on this post. 😄
