Well, it’s been an…interesting…few weeks.
There was a planned holiday disrupted by a crack COVID lockdown, a make-shift holiday to the local beach, a birthday ending with a zero, an incredible birthday surprise from dear husband, a huge medical emergency in the family, and an acute bad back (mine).
There has been very little writing, very little reading, and very little motivation to get back into the swing of things. But it’s time to reopen the blog and try to claw myself up and out of this malaise. I will be endeavouring to catch up with your blogs and see what I’ve missed, and also to post new content here, but it might take a few weeks to get back into the swing of things, so please…be gentle!
Hope all has been well with you all, and your muses have been more attentive than mine!
Good grief and I thought my month was bad. Take it easy, Jessica!

You’re not the only one who’s having a birthday where they add 0 to the age and the tens number goes up one. I’m not exactly looking forward to turning 60 in June. On another note, I saw the news about the floods in Eastern Australia. If my memory serves me, you live in the West so you’re probably not effected but my thoughts go to everyone down under.

60 is still pretty young… don’t sweat it! Nah, we weren’t affected at all by the floods, but some folks had just had drought, bushfire, COVID, and now floods. God I felt sorry for them 😢
