Saturday blah, still recovering

[elegentry]

This post will likely be dull. Don't expect anything very interesting. I just feel inclined to put some thoughts down.

I almost always spend the first half of Saturday feeling heavy headed, blah, mentally beaten up by the working week, pummelled about in the brain. Today is no exception. I was pleased though to wake to the sound of rain. That does prevent me from doing the gardening that I was planning this morning.  Not the end of the world but pottering in the garden is one of the most restful and restorative things.

I have also decided that I should not work on the sewing project I wanted to finish today until I have been to spotlight and bought the missing bit, in case that changes design decisions. So I can't work on that either.

Think I will sew some quilt binding and maybe start on the Christmas tree. I could tidy up <grimace>, maybe later.

The big question is: when is the best time of day to visit Spotlight then Aldi? I usually avoid supermarkets on Sat until about 3pm but I am going to the opera tonight and that timing is too late. If I go to Spotlight when it opens, then Aldi, I would be in the nasty Sat crush.  Decisions, decisions. I have also never been to Aldi before. What ever, I will go or not as I am inclined a bit later. Hmm, I could go to Aldi and then spotlight given it is not so baking hot today and I don't want much in Spotlight. That sounds like an idea.

Wishing I was as eloquent and amusing as some of my friends. I often read posts and emails, thoroughly appreciate them but feel blank about replying or joining in. My composition skill with words has never been very good. I shall hold on to the thought that my composition skill with physical things is somewhat better.

(after running to the front door and back)
Oh. I thought I was over the burglary. Seems I am not just yet. I have the front door open, screen locked, just heard a strange noise out front which made my heart leap and small panic attack ensued. Suddenly I could cry. Damn silly behaviour.

Ah well. I will try for resorative activies today, which should include some tidying 'cause the results would make me feel better. Then I go to see Handel's "Alcina" tonight. I do love Handel opera. I don't know anything about this one but it will surely be several hours of glorious music. I will miss Graham Pushee though. He has starred in the other Handel operas that I have seen.

I think the whole point about writing here is to sound like yourself. For those of us catching up on your news, you do sound like you and that's good.

Don't worry about trying to be clever. The more you write, the better it gets, I expect.

Hi m'dear. Glad you think I sound like me. That is the intention really. I suppose I can live with that. To be the sort of amusing and well written that I refer to- I think I would have to be a different person.
