It's now Friday 20th December evening and I am listening to Handel's Messiah.
Thanks to Google I can do a back posting just to confuse any of you who are reading these scripts!

2013 - 12 noon
It’s a new day and am
I reeling or not?
Returning from three
weeks in English highly centrally-heated internal living environments to an 8 degree room environment yesterday
evening, I was grateful for the rising temperatures of 10 degrees and a tatch by the following midday
Yes, I have enjoyed coming back to my house.
With silence about me unless I turn on the radio, the thoughts stream in about
the last three weeks, the people I have met, the experiences I have had, the
opportunities missed, the unexpected and the expected events and emotions.
A walk to the
boulangerie ensures that I speak to someone. My housebound neighbour’s daughter exclaims that I have been away a long time. The high-pitched elderly man who
lives in my street further towards the village gathers info that I've been to England to be with family. Villagers love a little gossip and
intrigue about a single, elderly, (I'm only 60 something!) English female and what is she doing in this
village far from her family and friends…. And well may they speculate for it is
the never-ending question that I ask myself again when I climb the slope in my
French street, marvelling at what goes on and why on earth I have spent so much
on a roof ( hear the expletives!!!) and a house ( it's all mine and house rentals throughout my life would have amounted to the same!!!) when I can’t spend that on a vehicle or grand piano
or travelling!
Oh oh oh!!!!
