Thanks for your comments. Yes, you’ve right about things changing with age. I never thought I’d find myself incapacitated. Weird isn’t it? I’m sure we all have had the sense that ‘old age won’t happen to me!’ It seems life had other plans.😂
Hope your recovery after your knee surgery is progressing well.

Nice entry.

Like you, I don't do clothes shopping anymore, and with the arthritis, I stopped walking outside, but I walk inside the house and around the yard. Things change greatly as we grow older and older.

It's like the apple in the garden, too tempting to avoid and look what happened after that.

In response to "Work Ethic"

Hats off to you! I don't think I could do what you did. On the other hand, having a lot of people fixing things while you are taking care of the kids and trying to keep them safe would have its own downers, too.
Anyhow, so glad you could and did do all that! That's some feat to be proud of.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn

I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.

I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.

In response to "New Year so far."

weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.

Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.

Watching grandchildren choose as they age is so interesting because society has changed so much since I was a child.

In response to "All alone "

The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

Pardon?

Unfortunately I speak only English and count myself very lucky that it’s my first language. The reason being people from English speaking countries expect people from other countries to speak it.
I’ve tried at different times in my life to learn French. It would have been useful when living in England to be able to converse with our neighbours across the Channel. However now Asian languages would be beneficial as Australia is close to Indonesia and we also have many Chinese tourists. Of course that was before the Coronavirus outbreak.
Learning a new language becomes more difficult the older one gets. I love listening to children speak from a multi cultural household. They begin with a mix of the languages they are exposed to seemingly having no difficulty sorting out the complexities.
Sometimes people are speaking my native English and yet I can’t understand them! Does anyone else have that trouble?

I can’t wait!

My earliest clear memories are from around the ages of four. At that age even life itself is exciting.
Christmas of course has to be one of those times when time seemed to stand still. It always seemed so far away. Going down stairs before anyone else was awake just to check that Santa had actually been, then racing back up to waken my brothers. That was so exciting.
Another time was when my Grandfather came to take us to see ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’
I just couldn’t imagine such a thing! What could it possibly be? My imagination ran riot but was sure it had to be something beyond imagination.
I was destined to be disappointed when I found out it was a just a movie of that title.
It obviously was a great movie starring Charlton Heston and James Stewart directed by Cecil B DeMille but I couldn’t help but be disappointed.
Of course there have been many times since when I’ve felt excited but there’s nothing that can match that childlike bursting with excitement feeling.
