Hot and Bloggled

Yes it really is that blue…

But sometimes smart phones don’t capture the moment – What I saw as I arrived at the cliff top – a snowy white yacht gleaming on a sparkling sea… I had to zoom in to my picture to see if I had imagined a boat…

We have our own Mount Rushmore – who would you like to see carved into our cliffs?

Be glad you are not a cactus…

Two days of glory and attention…

Then it’s all over for another year or two.

When you fall down a blog hole...

In the unlikely event you notice some absences on my part in July it will be due to summer projects or some projects. Forty one years ago people said ‘Pregnant?! What do you want another baby for, you have a boy and a girl?’ The answer was ‘So when he grows up he can do every home improvement imaginable, sort out all my technical problems, install a new computer and cook dinners.’ When he brought home his now wife and said she was a lighting technician and pyrotechnic expert, we knew life was going to be fun and he would have someone to help him with every project imaginable.

As we pass the the halfway mark of the year have you any summer or winter projects planned?

  1. Ain’t that blue something else?!

    Whatever you carved into those soft sands of Hengistbury/Rushmore, I don’t think it would last very long – but it would be a great metaphor for the transient nature of fame/power. I’m hoping that recent events in US and British politics might echo that…

    As for summer plans – Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia!

    In the meantime, enjoy yours 🙂 xxx

  2. When I was 16, my mom had my youngest brother. She would have been 36 and had already had three children. (She called him an accident) But he was the one who looked after her every need when she grew old and the rest of us where off galavanting. They were very close and she called him a blessing!! Have a super summer.

    1. That is lovely, boys can be just as caring as daughters. My sister, the third child, was an accident and she is recently retired after a long career as a GP and very caring daughter, sister, aunty and friend.

  4. having just discharged myself from hospital I fully intend to use the summer months to write the final book in my Barsetshire Diary series.

    hopefully a legacy my grandchildren will be proud of. Books that don’t rely on bad language, sex or violence to tell a story.

  8. I have to finish a monography. And it is far from completion…
    As for construction projects… our block is under thermal rehabilitation… I have scaffolding at my windows, and the stray cats are chasing on them and looking on my windows, to ask me if I want them as book characters…

  9. We are hoping to (if the local contractor gets his finger out) change our terribly dated bathroom (corner bath in beige) to a walk-in shower room with a grab rail and a seat. Despite being a very small room, it’s a big job that we are going to pay someone to do. As we only have one toilet in the house, we are going to stay in a cabin in Lincolnshire for 10 days in September while the work is done. That alone will add £1,000 to the already susbstantial cost, but we are planning ahead to the time when neither of us will be able to get into or out of a bath.

    I wouldn’t bother to carve anything into those cliffs, as they might well fall into the sea soon! 😉

    Best wishes, Pete.
