It has been a couple of weeks since I joined in with the Six on Saturday shenanigans; general apathy and specific holiday being the reasons. The sunny spells yesterday inspired me to pull myself together and venture forth into the mellay. The ground is sodden and the garden is looking rather unkempt; apathy and holidayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Home Sweet Home”

Six on Saturday – Disintegrating
I was resigned to a no-SoS week. It was my first week back to work after the Dreaded and a rest was in order, the car was having some work done in the garage and the rain was falling. A day of Murder She Wrote, catching up with friends and reading last weekend’s papers wasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Disintegrating”
Six on Saturday – Peace
The inevitable happened and I have succumbed to the evil Covid. A day or two of feeling rotten and now just boredom and positive tests. In the scheme of things, in the scheme of this misguided world, it is inconsequential. Pop over to Himself to find out what the other SoSers are up to. Let’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Peace”
Six on Saturday – Keep it in the Family
We have been away on a little jaunt. We caught the Eurostar to Rotterdam and onwards to visit my Cloggie brother and his family. It was wonderful. There were castles and forts, frantic bars and peaceful patios, culture and indulgence. One of the many things that gave me joy during our visit was exploring theirContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Keep it in the Family”
Six on Saturday – Underestimation
I wasn’t going to do a six this week, it has been so miserable lately I was sure there would be only misery to share. Then a diamond title popped into my head and I changed my mind. After the persistent gales and torrential rain of the last week I thought The Mighty Fallen wouldContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Underestimation”
Six on Saturday – New Phone
I’ve got a new phone. Nothing special, just end of an end of contract, new version of the same. Which in theory is a good thing, but in reality has been a bother. Especially when EE’s little helper turned out to be a belligerent barely post-teenage humourless inept loser. Have I make myself clear? InContinue reading “Six on Saturday – New Phone”
Six on Saturday – Pale but Interesting
It has been a challenging week to be a gardener. Mornings have been fine, a pleasure even, but by early afternoon it has been hard going. Still, I should not complain, our unseasonably warm temperatures are small beer compared to the climate crisis others are facing. There is lot more to lose than a coupleContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Pale but Interesting”
Six on Saturday – Happy Accident
September. We slip further into chaos. When I say “we” I mean “I”. I am torn between the annual optimistic expectation of an Indian Summer which is running parallel to the dread of a looming winter. I have never been one to embrace autumn. I really should try harder. September. Just a date. The gardenContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Happy Accident”
Six on Saturday – Guest Cloggie
There has been much excitement on Planet Heavens. The Cloggies have been in town. I am privileged to have a family that forego soap opera dramas and instead tend to embrace love and laughter. We genuinely enjoy each others’ company. Strange but true. All of this is unfortunate as some of us live in TheContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Guest Cloggie”
Six on Saturday – Community
My garden is sighing with relief. Although the rain has often been relentless, the intermittent spells of sun have been enough for steady growth and blossom. The persistent wind has caused only minor damage, although this might be tempting fate bearing in mind Storm Anthony’s arrival today. Perhaps the harsh spring ensured that any earlyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Community”
