Unremitting horrible dull weather. Unremitting dull horrible life. It was great when we had weddings and Christmas and Egypt to plan for but nothing is immediate now. There are two weddings coming up- Zoe and Ben and Toby and Samantha. And we are going away for a weekend to Devon in April. Ben will be back this week but he is bound to be glum about leaving Brazil and coming back to dull, grey, damp, cold, England. Maybe it is time to move , our house is too big for just the two of us and we crouch in 16 layers of clothes with a blanket rather than use oil to heat the whole house during the day time.
We have too much stuff...my mother's Limoges doorplates are on ebay. Oxfam receives daily visits from us with excess clothes, things, books. Do we really need books? records? photographs? Everything can be digitalised. I have finally offered my two last pcs on freecycle and am stripping off all the files-- all the things you forget! all the business you have done which passes on to historical oblivion but which seemed so critical at the time. References for people who have moved away, complaints about items long forgotten. Agendas for meetings and more meetings and more meetings. What is it all about? I think, after all, it is actually all about the people you know and love and your interaction with them, whether over a bottle of wine, a pack of cards, a good meal or a shared experience.
this sounds very serious but it's not really. We know life is good, it's just winter and bloody awful weather.
