Two SoSing weeks on the trot, I must be on track for a gold star on the The Prop’s chart of Shame and Glory. The cold and crisp has been replaced by the damp and dreary and, although I have had countless flights of imagination, I haven’t done any actual gardening. Still, these things can’tContinue reading “Six on Saturday – To Infinity and Beyond”

Haircut
This morning I had a haircut, the first since lockdown. It was a bizarre affair, with masks and visors and trepidation. My lovely hairdresser did her upmost to tame my barnet and sent me, newly coiffured, off to The Mantle’s Estate. Standing in front of Their ‘Ships I waited for their opinions. Her Ladyship saidContinue reading “Haircut”
Six on Saturday – No Name
Sometimes you can get caught up in your own little world of misery. Which is what has happened to me this week, or perhaps a fortnight. It is tooth related, a design fault to my mind. In the scheme of things, it is small beer, but still, the mire of my mood persists. Weakness isContinue reading “Six on Saturday – No Name”
Six on Saturday – Return of the Sun
I am happy to report that this Six on Saturday is written with the sun in my heart and, more importantly, in my garden. Yesterday, when I took these photographs, it was doing the usual, no need to dwell on that nonsense, that is the past. Let us raise a cup of tea to theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Return of the Sun”
Six on Saturday – A Challenge
When I switched my phone on this morning the first thing I saw was a message from my sister-in-law “have you two tied yourselves to the house?”. Curious. And then it dawned on me, the news of our very own cuddly Storm Callum had reached the Netherlands. For your information we are managing to stayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – A Challenge”
Another
Another hydrangea, and why not? It has made the effort to flower, and so beautifully. Today on Button Moon, glowing in the low and most welcome sunlight, it was hard to believe that it wasn’t blooming just for our delectation. Of course it doesn’t care a fig what we think.
An Interesting Story
Some days toddle along, nothing particularly notable happens, nothing even close to news worthy occurs. Most days actually. Don’t get me wrong, no complaints here. I am quite happy with my meandering life. When I get home and recount my days in minutae my OH often nods off “was that one of Gill’s interesting stories?”Continue reading “An Interesting Story”
Six on Saturday – Birthday Girl
Saturday 14th July. Now that date rings a bell. Something or other is going on. Don’t tell me, it is on the tip of my tongue. Oh yes, Six on Saturday. That wonderful meme hosted by the indomitable Mr Prop. But there is a niggle that I might have forgotten another important event. Silly me,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Birthday Girl”
Six on Saturday – Keeping Focused
It is incredible that I can manage to write anything at the moment. The reason for my distraction is that seed from the Hardy Plant Society has arrived and I am very excited. Possibly unnaturally so. More of that tomorrow, today I must try to stay focused because it is of course Six on Saturday. Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Keeping Focused”
Happy New Six on Saturday
Happy New Six on Saturday to you all. What is Six on Saturday you ask? Can I believe my ears? Where have you been for the last century, Mars? I suggest you take your rocket ship over to Mr P’s planet, our commandant’s home, and it will all become clear. Let us proceed. Earlier in theContinue reading “Happy New Six on Saturday”
