Orthotics
Posted on December 10, 2015 Leave a Comment
The reducing of pain from a pair of good orthotics is a gift that brings enormous amounts of gratefulness from my body AND emotions. I confess to not always being the most patient of patients, so I am sure that this reduction in my pain will have spin-offs of gratitude from my family as well. To […]
Cygnets and Swans

I was enthralled! I love birds. What’s not to love? We had been walking with the swans and their three cygnets along the water front. Lots of people had been coming and going passed us, but we, having to walk slow for the nursing of my leg injuries, were enjoying the swan family at their […]
A Hare’s Whisker

You may well be asking yourself how a hare’s whisker even comes into my world, let alone be something I am grateful for. And I concur with you on that. In fact, I had to go look it up to make sure I wasn’t just having weird and odd phrases rolling around in my head. […]

Having paid the bill, we were getting ready to leave the supermarket, … Him pushing the trolley of goodies for our weekend away… Me folding up the receipt into my pocket and putting cards away… Suddenly I dived off yelling that I would catch him up. My poor darling dearest is used to this bizarre behaviour, […]
Kindness Just Blew In

Strong winds, rain and more wind… But we went away anyway. Eager as a beaver we were down to the beach with the dog leading the way, excitement oozing out of her. Zipping the jacket right up to the chin, we braced ourselves against the elements and off we went. It was easy one way, […]

I am terrible at remembering birthdays. It is not unheard of for me to have finally got the present in a rush and a flurry and then realised too late that I had no wrapping or card, The kids all laugh and tell stories of how Mum wraps presents in teatowels or dressing gowns. Once […]
Delightfully Delish

It was taking a while for her to peruse the dress shop. I had decided to stay in the car so we could keep the windows down keeping the car cooler for the dog. We don’t have this dress shop in our town so we were happy to wait. No one was fazed. And she […]
Sharing Susan’s Sheep

It was lambing time and Susan’s sheep are well worth a visit. Being Pitt Island sheep they aren’t your normal run of the mill whiteys but rather, just a little quirky with dreds of black and brown. Susan likes quirky. I gotta say I like them too. They are interesting. She takes her bucket of […]

She had asked me to come for coffee to her favourite cafe. I was there a couple of minutes early and so was waiting outside to meet up…why go inside when the sun was beaming down outside, right?! With all the warmth of spring their little pots adorning the door and windowsill were blooming gorgeous […]

The suggestion was made and everyone was up and ready. “Wanna have a round?” Daughter laughing all fun and happy. Son quietly taking us all on. Grandma sitting on the sidelines watching the play while wearing a smile. Granddad bouncing light and nimble at the ready. And that darling dearest of mine in his element enjoying […]
