“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
Good evening from here... Wed 12th, 21.31, +0.6dg. Not a very stable weather forecast... this comes from a girl who thought she would plug the boot bag in early this morning and pop up to the mountain office for a couple of hours... Yeah, right!! By daylight it was snowing... beautiful fat lazy silent flakes... there is nothing quite like it. Snow stopped by 11.00 and I went out to shovel because it is good for me, because the mailman had left huge compressed prints in the snow, which turn to ice later, and I also had a conversation group coming in later in the afternoon. Done and dusted with relative ease as the snow was so fluffy and dry. Popped off down to the Lidl to do a few comestibles with my trusty nana trolley and did the long circuit as I thought the walk would do me good. Am experiencing quite a few problems with my right knee since I started going back downstairs every morning to try and get some discipline back into my life... the bloody thing now grumbles at me all the time especially with all the stairs in the house and all the long distance walking. Do or die. The skiing would have been out of this world this afternoon but could not take advantage as I had the Wednesday group at 16.00... they came armed, not with weapons but with bottles... this process initially started, and was advertised as Coffee and Conversation, so somewhere the lines have been blurred.. like really blurred!!! The end result of one hours conversation is a littered table... they were going on out after they left me and wanted me to join them, I figured discretion is the better part of valour in my case. Fire lit, and another glass of something as I watched the doubles figure skating from Sochi. Lovely. Have got a new conversation group starting up on Mondays at 10.00am .. much safer time as it will be water or coffee, so my week is now fairly well spoken for. Tomorrow I have a group of four arriving from England ETA 23.30... my poor little eyes will be out on stalks waiting for them at that hour. Hospitality !! Thursday is a Moochie day while I wait for my guests ... ..... and then another conversation and senior tuition Friday. Joy to the world.
