Ironing! Out with it, away with it, dear sister. Unless one has a particular thing for doing that kind of thing, one either does without curtains as you have done, or buys them, or wooden blinds, ready-made (me). And ironing only in desperate extremis. Rant over. But you may plant bulbs and dig the vegetable patch if you wish. And pad pad with writers notebook too, is good.<BR/><BR/><B>Kahless</B>, I'm keeping an eye on her to see that she puts it up - just saying.<BR/><BR/><B>Montag</B>!

In my deep sense of loss at my youngest leaving for university last weekend, I told everyone that with time to spare - ha! - I would make curtains. Me? Since when? My children have grown up thinking that no curtains is normal - ok, so they moan a bit when the sun slashes their hungover eyes at 5 am on a summer's morning.<BR/>I mean, why have I suddenly declared to the world that I'm about to change the habit of a lifetime as well as dig over the overgrown vegetable patch, plant bulbs, finish the ironing (whaaat?),<BR/>begin the life story etc etc<BR/>The spirit was willing, truly, but<BR/>I, too, find myself padding now when I thought I could run, laid low by the darkness of the gulf left by my children's departure.<BR/><BR/>Fortunate soon-to-be-published friends to have a champion and friend in you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112821049194722614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-84715207187001185332008-10-08T19:13:00.000+00:002008-10-08T19:13:00.000+00:00Oh - stumble flop - geddit now.
