RANDOM JOTTINGS


A blog about music, sports, theatre and rants





100_2440 Have totally lost track of the days this week as everything seems topsy turvy. In the throes of all the paperwork and organisation that a loss entails which is keeping me busy but my head seems to have gone  woolly and am finding it hard to concentrate.

Ok first of all – last week I reviewed Tarzan of the Apes, here and I have a spare copy to give away.  I have rather lost track of this, for obvious reasons, but would just like to remind you that if you are interested please leave your name in the comments column on that post, or on this one, as I would love somebody to read and enjoy this as much as I did.

I went up to London yesterday to see my daughter and my granddaughter Florence and we had a lovely day and I came home feeling a bit better.  We went out for lunch and sat in the park and the sun was shining and the skies were blue.   The sunshine certainly lifts one spirit and sitting cuddling Florence and watching her have her bath also helped.

Then when I came home, a parcel from Bloomsbury with some great books in, so all in all, a better day.  Next week will be difficult and so Random is definitely going to be Random for a while but will get back in the regular mode as soon as I can….not least because the books are piling up something chronic!

    Rachel – thank you. Lovely to see Florence. Helen let me cuddle her most of the day and made me feel much better.
    Susan A – it is a beautiful day today. Had tea with a friend this afternoon and sat in the garden with her daughter and her grandson, Henry, who is an absolute sweetie – 7 months old. Babies are so good when you are feeling low
    Virginia – thanks for the reminder! Am listening as I write this!!

    Glad to read you’ve been able to spend some time with your family, and that it made you feel better. There’s nothing like a little face looking at you to bring warmth to the heart… keep strong and take care.

    Thinking of you, Elaine, and I’m glad that you’ve been able to spend time with Florence to cheer you up. Make sure you take care of yourself.
