    Heather awesome for the hovarian

    Barbara sorry about the up. I am alas also in that general direction. courage and strength in going from cookies to yogurt (most days?)

    Machka oo! love the irises

    hmmm not in top gear today.

    I did do overall replan but didn't do the long busy work of re organising

    nor did I do the less busy-work work of re-composing (creating links and getting rid of bits).

    I'm wondering if I should just take the whole day off - hopefully to be fresher to hold out.
    I'm not sure if I've taken a day off in past 2 weeks (since 2 Sundays ago) when I spent all Sunday with friends out of town in the burbs near the forest (and for a little walk in the forest).

    I'm thinking - that I SHOULD take a full day off and it'll work out better long term.

    I think taking one full Sunday off every 2 weeks can work in intense periods.

    yesterday I only worked about 4h on writing but some say one can only work 2 or 4h.
    I dunno. I have done 8 with re-reading and editing and writing/rewriting for a 2 month stint, BUT that was 10 years ago and I was more energetic then! AND it was just 2 months in lovely springtime with long sunny encouraging days. not like cool rainy today.

    OR I could take MORE Time off and still work a bit....

    I did walk a bit maybe 45 min at least and did 1h cleaning listening to a lovely Blinkest book synopsis. Todays one- something on philosophy: Blinkest - do you know it- it gives 15 min audio synopses of non-fiction books. I find it great for during cleaning!

    CLEANING today: bits and bobs in kitchen, living room, laundry, bath...

    I woke up early thinking it was Sunday! Aack! I hate when the days mesh together! I decided to make wild rice in my cooker, then afterwards I plan to mix it up with my olive bruschetta and some sliced tomatoes I need to use up. I plan on measuring out a yogurt container full, freezing them and wrapping in plastic. The yogurt containers are the kind with the lips that pull off. For lunch I will cut up the rest of my kielbasa sausage, along with a couple of chicken broth cubes, and some of the prepared rice mixture. Maybe a small salad.
    Interestingly enough, I lost from yesterday to today. Yesterdays meal was a bit strange as it was leftovers. I took a spoonful of Lee's leftover sausage gravy (canned), added two chicken broth cubes, some of Lee's leftover scalloped potatoes (I just wanted the cheese sauce from them as I picked most of the potato pieces out. I added cut up roasted chicken, some cheddar cheese, leftover spaghetti noodles and some diced tomatoes. It was a cheesy chicken Alfredo mishmash. I then had graham crackers with a heated marshmallow inside, and coffee. And from one day to the next I lost .4 lbs. Crazy. πŸ™ƒπŸ˜
    Downloaded some Kindle books for Athena and I to read. They plan on moving day to drop us off at the new house with snacks and toys, then they will go get the uhaul, pack it and drive over. Their home is only further down a large street in Vancouver WA. Still within their same general area though. I'm excited for them! I told my daughter inlaw, its my hope to organize their kitchen enough to prepare Thanksgiving for them. Nothings homemade its only cans, boxes, and packets! I told her it might just be easier to just have slabs of turkey from the deli, we can warm up in chicken broth. Easier than a huge turkey!
    Happy Monday to most, and happy whatever day it is in your neck of the woods.πŸ’–πŸ™ƒ

    Machka -

    Oh my I was just whining about gasoline prices here... so I pulled out the calculator and started to convert your prices into US pricing so just converting the money in US dollars it would be $23.13 per liter. and we buy in Gallons so that is 3.78 liters which means the price in the US would be $87.57 per gallon

    Barbie – Thank you again for starting us off for November. Your lovely woman on the scale could be me. I need to take better care of myself this month. Lightening up is important, both emotionally and physically. I need to do more of this - :bigsmile::

    Lisa – I choose the same goals each month, too. They work very well when I follow through. :ohwell:

    Michele – It is so nice when you know your adult children are responsible. Mine are, too. :bigsmile:

    Dr. Katie – My iphone is OLD. It still works and I don’t plan to replace it until it goes to iphone heaven. They would love to sell me a new one, but it won’t happen today. :noway:

    M in OZ – Your cycling has given me a nudge to get busy riding my terratryke. It is on a trainer in the garage and I can ride there in any weather. I can hear the rain outside now as I sit at my desk. I injured my knee a while ago and I currently have two appointments with a physical therapist. I hope they will be helpful. :star: Your landscaping is wonderful. :flowerforyou:

    Pip – I love the photos and look forward to seeing them. Walking along the beach with Yogi looks wonderful. :bigsmile:

    Tracey – I hope you’ll be able to enjoy the northern lights. We have a cloud cover now that would prevent any view of the night sky. If you’re able to take a photo I would love to see it. :star:

    Allie – Having strangers in the house can be stressful. I hope all goes very well. :flowerforyou:

    Barbara & Pip – We didn’t have a single trick or treater, either. I still have container of kind bars next to the front door. :ohwell:

    Heather – Your photo of the sea and sky is lovely. :star:

    Rori – I am also having coffee this morning. Enjoy walking your kitty. We’ve had our CoVid boosters. I had an easy time with number three, but DH had a headache for a couple of days. I hope you have an easy time with the booster, like I did. :heart:

    Rebecca – I love your photos! Your grandchildren a beyond cute. :flowerforyou:


    Yoga starts at 10 am. I’m tired this morning and I’ll stay home. I have physical therapy on my knee tomorrow & I have no idea what physical therapy will be like. My doctor referred me there and I respect his guidance.

    Just after the cleaner arrived I got a phone call from BBC Sussex Radio to ask about my books. :o They are interested in interviewing me for their lunch time slot sometime. :) They want me to send them both volumes of my memoirs, so it will depend on what they think of them. Actually I can drop them off tomorrow on my way to the lunch date with G.
    I'm very nervous about what they will make of the books. ;)

    I managed to answer the questions for the Hovarian and found a couple of photos. So that's done. :D

    Now cooking a smoked haddock and leek chowder thing. Asparagus on the side.

    Love from a shaky Hovarian xxxxxxxx

    You're about to be famous! Well done, Heather. So pleased that you're getting the attention you deserve for your writing.

    Lisa - I am beyond nervous as to how they will receive the books. They are aware of the subject matter. I'm totally prepared for an email to say, 'not for us this time'. ;)
    I never listen to the local radio, but I will now to get some ideas for my 'tone'. It's a slot called 'Lunchbreak'. ????
    When you poke your head above the parapet .............

    Love to you and hope you keep your fog away. :D<3

    Flea - sending all the hugs in the world your way. <3 One minute at a time.

    Rori - I love your way of honouring the dead. So important to hold them in our hearts. <3
    I am already thinking of a future writing project where I celebrate past people I loved by the music I associate them with. So many of them are dead now.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
