life in the back lane

wow – where did the last two months go! resolution : one must take time to sit awhile and reflect – over a glass of wine perhaps – tho seems the bottle has been open a little too long …

Two funerals this month – neither close friends but both too young at 60ish – funerals are so nice nowdays tho – hearwarming and celebratory- we hear things we never knew about those we love(d) – we really should hear all that stuff about oursleves while we’re still alive – don’t you think – perhaps an annual “just in case” event – what could one call it I wonder….?

Columns all written ahead of time so I’ve done something constructive  – business awards and so many council meetings attended – along with numerous workshops – a shame I can’t put my finger on what I’ve learned but there you have it…

actually the wine doesn’t taste that bad once you get used to it…….

I finally had the ceilings painted – no da vinci wasn’t available – but  I guess I can finally put away the ladder that I’ve walked around in the kitchen for the last two years – “excuse my ceilings – I’m just about to start painting…”

another art gallery opening – beautiful heritage building – ex courthouse lovingly restored – lovely lady owner who’s always wanted to own such a place- congratualtions lynn! someone told her I teach music and seems she’s always wanted to play the ukulele – another ukulele orchestra is born – watch this space!

am going thru my diary as i write this and notice i must have missed octoberfest – assuming it’s in october!? damn!

the benny awards – great night – finally got to wear the gold sequinned butterfly (when i spread my arms) top – went and bought some 8inch (at least) platform heels for the occasion which was unfortunately held in a three level venue with a huge flight of stairs between bar and restaurant and venue room…

probably time i went home…….
