Quiet is the day, there is as I predicted a thick layer of golden leaves on the ground after all the cold we are experiencing. In half-an hour I shall take my car to the Kia garage for a winter check, which they are offering for £25. When the weather is really cold I light a fire in the afternoon, not always successfully but I am getting better.
Never listened to the political show last night, sometimes you get sick of all the words spouted knowing that many of them will not be fulfilled. It would be easier to write our own lists and post them up the chimney to Santa Claus. Did watch 'Look Back In Anger' the other night and managed to watch it from the beginning to the end. Burton definitely had the sultry look that his wife Elizabeth fell for. What is striking about the film though apart from the 'kitchen sink' feel is the overall gloominess of the 1950s, that grayness and drabness against which passionate emotions were played - but yet they knew no better?
Tomorrow is the quiz night at the pub, something I shall have to enter on my own, the thought scares me, my soul's eye will be looking for Paul, talking to him silently. People will be kind I know there is a generosity in people we should all be thankful for.
What else, Lucy is pacing the house once more, does she need a walk? she hates walking and there is not a happier dog then when we turn round and she heads for home at a very much quicker pace. Never know what sends her off into this walking back and forward mode not being able to settle. Could be because she is a spaniel the vet says they demand a lot of attention.
Just typed in the date, apart from time flying, how could Prince Andrew remember a pizza date of 20 years ago, apparently if he had had a police escort at the time their pocket books would have recorded it!

I thought that about the pizza date too. Tonight's statement says a lot too doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are going to the quiz night - well done you.
Luxy misses your partner and sees how sad you are and paces because she does not know how to help. You both will find a way to peace with time. Politics will not help. Almost all the leaders these days are twits.
ReplyDeleteThank you both, I think Tabor politics keeps my mind ticking over, though learning that those we put in power are idiots is really worrying.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds lovely, that your village has such a thing as Quiz Night at the pub!!!! So lovely.
ReplyDeleteI understand, how hard it is, to go alone. But please try to be grateful, for this way, to get out and among people.
We do not have such, in our city. Oh there are plenty of "Older People" things. But "older people" don't want _just_ our own age. We want to have all ages, around.
You-are-so-lucky!!!!!
