I have a mattress that is kaput, somehow rousted myself to go and went, which is a surprise, to me mostly but it had to be done. Arriving at one of those dubious places that have flags, signs and concrete floors, just off the highway. This one is just beside the picture perfect walking trail, advertising heavily on social media. You know the place, my dear and gentle readers, for a double size. Which they did not have. They did, but not the sort that will last a season let alone years. I lay about on one or two and knew my quest was just starting.
After this sojourn, strolled down to a street show of art, to meet her majesty the mayor inadvertently to talk about tourism. Thus concluded, OFF to impulse purchase a lot of things I did not need. I thought I required, but forgotten due to being a woman of a certain age and time of the tourism season, yogurt. At the time, forgotten, in the fridge buying were at least six of yogurt. Having another time, “thought ” I need yogurt!” Thus loaded up the cart with at least three more. A little while later, you will be pleased to know, not all in the same day, but over a period of time, and in my defense, there was a sale, I can revisit temptation at any time, as you know. I now have 9 tubs and probably more, I am too frightened to count, but they do inhabit the whole second level, which is scary. I did not eat with the cookies I made.
This too has been a quest, the cookies that is. I have, my sisters and my cousin have my mothers oatmeal drop recipe. This was handed down, from her aunt. Therefore it would be my great aunties recipe. Expect for the fact, all hand written, they are all different, and vastly so. Each of us has about 8 formulas. The latest attempt, was close but no cigar, and another attempt will be made sometime when we need cookies for dinner.
Guests went for supper first did not arrive until 10pm having told me 7;30. Another room arrived out of the blue around 9 pm. I was up at regular and typical time 5 on the Lord’s Day, which is supposed to be a day of rest, for most people, then cleaned three rooms. Another first, all the guests were Germans, who did not know each other. At breakfast chattered in their native language about migrating to Canada. I spent the afternoon watching a BBC police series, resulting in my eyes being blood shot when I got up this weekday morning, for a day of rest if I can ignore the list of life, looming large.
Lucy has not had her pill nor has she gone out in the wind. I have not done anything, yet but have thrown a load of lanfry on and need to empty Matilda the second as I am tripping over the clean dishes from yesterday and the days have started piling up in the sink. I have managed to drink tea. I plan to get excise class, but that is an interminable way aways. Looks like a fall day, windy, have no guests tonight, so will remain as inclined as much is as possible. I am voting for and with both hands. Guests arriving tomorrow, two rooms or so for a week. OFF we go for another day of fun and adventure. If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advance.
