Everyone starts out naked, without baggage, direction, or will, carrying nothing but promise, and a big empty suitcase to fill #vss365 #start

Warning-smugness alert! My husband has really struggled with retirement. Today he sat in bed with a coffee, looking out of the window at the rain, he smiled and said 'we don't have to get up yet do we love' I nodded and we went back to doing the Wordle-finally he gets it!

All of us are rivers we travel separate routes to find the same ocean #VSS365 #travel

Reeds tall and slender #taper to the music of the water's ebb and flow, they have no need for knowledge of whatever might be happening below, giving out a sigh as the river passes by minding their own business as the kissing current teases & the breezes start to blow #vss365

A good life does not taper it expands with love for many things, and widens as we grow, fed by the joy that living brings #vss365 #taper

You don't own a cat, a cat will tolerate you when you finish your training #vss365 #training

Just bought sneakers are fresh and bright with a lovely scent of new, older ones are comfy friends but they only smell of phew! #vss365 #sneakers

Existence is a #lottery card, it can be disappointing expensive & hard, some of us are popular people pleasers, some of us are losers and some of us are teasers, some of us get scraped & thrown away which is which it's impossible to say you have to be in life to win life #vss365

Starting on the never-ending task of re-filling the top shelf with soup, middle shelf is casseroles and the bottom one is veggie stuff for me- welcome to freezer number 1-freezer 2 is the big one that I keep all the ingredients in : ) #foodtwt

Today’s slow cooker casserole is beef with red wine and veg. Mr B is hovering… #foodtwt

The rain, when it came was not unexpected. falling music, dancing puddles ignored by hurrying passers by, I stayed to the end, and I heard it all that orchestra of sky #vss365 #unexpected

Dead bored lets jack this car, dead funny do a doughnut, dead wrong give it a burn, dead tree smashed windscreen, dead of night ambulance despatched, dead on arrival #vss365 #dead

My love is a billowed curtain gone from me these many years, he is the wind that blows rain that falls and fleeting footsteps in a hallway we never owned, drifting smoke from long dead fires and dusty drafts in the corner of an empty room #vss365 #dead

Remarkably poor choice of adverts in our local rag tonight-considering the headline above! #advert

An unselfish act or a total lack of any kind of tact, some people are graced with an absence of taste that others find unsavoury, these are all varieties of bravery #vss365 #bravery

The entitled Karen who bought our house phoned to say 'how dare you leave the attic full of rubbish, come and remove it immediately' I was able to say 'it's your own crap dear' because she had previously rented the house before we bought It-satisfying or what!
