Enough, enough

.... for a week, I shall not try to work out what on earth is going on

A peaceful rustic scene - painted by a Great Grandfather. However, no doubt quite a lot happening here - foraging, wood gathering, hard work. And who knows what might be lurking in those trees? She might possibly be thinking that she needs a rest. I shouldn’t be surprised.

For a week I shall pretend I am somewhere where nothing is happening (but it will be lurking in the woods …..). I am going to have to pretend this, because I am overcome with ennui, the tail end of winter, the bitter wind etc, etc. World events. Technology. Stuff. Sludge. A sort of mental “crise de foie”.

I shall retreat into my shell, snail-like, perhaps eat lettuce, go in for a soothing cup of herbal tea sent by My Friend In France. How they love a remedy. None of this brisk paracetamol x 2 four times a day and onwards. Non, mais non. One must fait attention, take it seriously, rest, rest and more rest. Gently does it. Don’t over do it. As our Mother would say “now, don’t do too much”.

No reading, no discussing the impossible, no intelligent suggestions as to why the technology isn’t working, nothing. No bright ideas. Definitely not. For a week I shall be a void …. and then, with luck, I might not be full of too much news, too many thoughts, bus trauma (I’m going to drive), too much information. I shall be a clean slate. There.

No TV.

Just Fred Vargas on Audible for half an hour here and there. Eccentric characters, inventive plots, well read.

Maybe, I shall do this for longer than a week.

Good things: I bought a neck cream, and then I looked at herbs on the market stall in Salisbury.

Must work out how to make the “Leave a Comment” button less dictatorial - see above, not doing it this week, but please do, if you would like to. And then the heart thing if you wish to is apparently useful.

See above again, but I’ve no idea what the difference is between “subscribing” and “following” - but just now I don’t care - do, please, do entirely as you wish.

Lots of “wishes” here ….. wishing you WELL!!!
