Crikey! I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but who needs electricity in the house when you’ve got a moon shining in through the windows as bright as sunlight?
It’s an absolutely stunning sky out there this evening. A few clouds floating through, but they are making it all the more interesting. Aah…… nature, eh? A wonderful balm for the spirits. And certainly the spirits in our household still need shoring up, despite all the exciting things that happen around us or we generate.
I’d like to offer you an amazing photo of said moon, but none of the photos I’ve taken have done it justice….. but I like this one with the cotton wool clouds enveloping it. Seems to draw you in, doesn’t it?
As I have said before, I think Susie Dent reads my mind. Her Word of the Day yesterday was: ‘ramfeezled’ (18th century): feeling worn out, used up, and particularly enfeebled. Ha! We recognise that!!
Because we are feeling worn out, used up and enfeebled, we both lay in bed this morning and stayed there until noon. John got out of bed and made a cup of tea, had his medications and watched the Grand Prix, then promptly went back to sleep. I faffed about on social media, did a few puzzles and read my book. I mean, I didn’t even want to get out of bed to watch the church service online today……. it just felt too heavy and overwhelming.
Michael phoned. “What are you up to today?” he asked. Erm…. our plan was just to swan about really….. which is what I did mostly. John, however, was halfway through repairing the guttering when he was interrupted with a hospital stay the other week, so he thought he’d have another go at it this afternoon. I wasn’t going to stop him. After all, we want to feel useful even in our enfeebled state.
He did well at the job but I have to confess I think he may have overdone it….. fingers crossed he feels better tomorrow. He was feeling particularly out of breath again this evening!
I had thought I’d go to yoga this afternoon but, after a lovely meal and a glass or two of red wine to accompany it this afternoon, I realised that alcohol and yoga don’t really mix, so I didn’t go. This is the second time this has happened……. must have a word with myself. Arrrggh!!
Take care everyone, God bless.
Oh, and in case I forget to mention it, stay safe – masks an’ all that. There’s another Covid wave coming, you know!
Lovely photo. The moon has been bright these last few nights. Have you found Jupiter yet? It’s that bright star just to the right of the moon. Not much to look at but apparently it is unusually close to us at the moment. I’ve seen Jupiter! Must tick that off the bucket list 😂😊xx
Yes! Forgot to mention it!
