So close to completion

Too tired to continue sewing tonight though.

My Blackwork dragon, from X-Calibre designs.

Just the tail tip to complete. It’s only taken five years…
______________
It’s finished!

And here it is mounted.

Grown-ups play Monopoly

Yeah, what a way to spend my holiday days.

A’s come to visit; she likes Monopoly. Therefore, we play. E and A beat me; seriously I had to mortgage everything.

They’ve got hotels and houses all over the board.

I got my revenge though. I had to pay a debt in mortgaged properties.

Mwhahaha!

Letters

I got soaked riding home from work this afternoon, but it was worth it for the letter waiting for me. This is a hand written letter appreciation post.

I despair

I found the results of the Immingham ward elections while checking the local paper’s website. It’s grim reading.

If I could do it all again…

I’d change everything.

I know it’s not usual to say so, but I would. I made so many bad choices, acted contrary to my inclinations because of outside pressure and didn’t take the opportunities I should have.

Politics is disturbing my peace

I’ve been thinking about politics a lot lately. There’s a few reasons for this.

May Reviews

Good morning, I’m sick again and the sun has disappeared so I can’t sit around in the garden writing. I’m going to laze in luxury in my room instead. I have two book reviews to write; I’ve been putting them off because of working, but it’s Saturday and I actually have a bit of free time.

I haven’t written for days

I feel quite agitated. This is the usual symptom of not writing enough.

Deadening effect on anger by the long-term use of anti-depressants

Firstly, I’ve been on anti-depression medication on and off for four years. Before that I refused to countenance medical intervention. Secondly, I also have a history of anger management problems. So when I say I have noticed a difference then it’s from personal experience.

IBQ PROMPT: GARDENS PART TWO, or, I really shouldn’t be allowed to use the lawn mower

I thought I’d add an addendum to my IBQ prompt post about gardens.
