Autumn.
Yesterday, there was a quiet, calm, atmosphere to the day as people passed to and from the brocante. One could drop a pin and hear it! I couldn't raise energy/motivation to set out a stall in the courtyard, let alone get the stuff to 'le champ de foire' although camaraderie and activity would have been found there.
Willingness to do anything seemed at a low ebb. However, it's quite interesting to mull over matters, whilst watching people walk past the gap which is my open gates onto the roadway. Some people stop and look. A child stopped and pointed. There is nothing to point at! Ah... maybe the little bird up on high; someone else showed their child the little bird by making a pointed shape with their hands to represent the lucarne. Yes, it is a theme that I wish for more of! My little bird.
Later. After a siesta, feeling less tired, I walked to the brocante and spoke to a Scottish CCC couple which was nice, and the brocante man who will sell at Ford in UK near to where my son lives, and I spoke to a female resident because I made comments on her attire... always so French and always so chic! it gave me pleasure!
Then the storm and rain began whilst I spoke to two friends... and yes, I know I am challenging... does that mean demanding? Big Feet is demanding in that grouchy 13 year old cat way!...
The woodburner is alight and I love the warmth it has given to my living area!
I feel like Phoenix arisen from an almost death yet know I am alive!
That's a bit dramatic!
The moon cycles and negativity wanes. I feel stronger!
Maybe it was all that cycling, driving and moving lots of logs as well as draining family issues!
We popped to the brocante for a short time. By the time we arrived we should already have been elsewhere!!
ReplyDeleteI bought a nice hand painted plate from a British man who was selling up in order to return to the UK.
I think tiredness builds up. I'm feeling the same although haven't even had the physical activity you've had with cycling and log stacking!
