Nice morning mainly blue skies our meeting was at Sue's nine of us today. A real mix of stories and Jenny was voted with three votes the best story.
Finding Her by Jenny Day
How I hate this cold, wet weather. It chills me
to the bone. It's amazing how a blue sky and a bit of sun can lift the spirits,
even if it's cold. Trouble is, we're not getting enough of those days.
I
really don't understand why people go skiing. The scenery is wonderful and the
thrill of speeding down the mountain slopes must be good, but snow is wet and
for me, that would be a huge "No"!
I'm in the doldrums at the moment -
hence no story! My brain has temporarily hibernated. If anything can go wrong,
it will. I feel like going to bed until Spring comes. It's a good job I have a
cat so I have to get up in the mornings. Mind you, he's not happy about the
weather either!
I normally have the Daily Echo delivered and after years
of satisfaction I'm not receiving it; how irritating! I look forward to doing
the puzzles and how will I know if I've passed away if I can't check the
obituaries every day, and even more irritating is the fact that, on two
occasions, I have been in a shop and could have bought a copy but didn't because
I expected to find one when I got home.
The other thing, of course, is,
if the deliveries don't get back on track, I shall run out of newspaper to line
the cat's tray!
I'm the only person in the country who doesn't have a
shower, only a bath, so I use a rubber hose when I wash my hair over the bath.
This week the rubber hose broke - yet another irritation. It's so messy using
jugs and it's time-consuming. I bought another hose but that didn't fit my taps
- well, of course it wouldn't, not this week.
There's nothing to inspire
me on the TV - mostly repeat programmes, although the new series of Vera is on
tonight. Vera Stanhope will be finding her latest murderer! It's never a happy
scenario. Heigh-Ho!
But tomorrow morning all is going to change. I'm
going to be cheered up by the stories written by my friends at Creative
Writing.
I'm sure they won't disappoint me!
I hope we didn't Jenny
