I'm very busy with stuff for the choir of which I'm chair - we have a concert, a come-and-sing and a social to arrange, and I'm not that good at thinking of three complicated events at the same time. However, I'm doing it as best I can. Time will tell if it's enough... .
Meanwhile, it's been lovely springlike weather - though frankly we need the rain - and we took a walk down to the local park. It's not quite in its spring glory, but it's still lovely to stroll round. By next week there will be lots of these alliums waving in the breeze.
There's some pleasing topiary -
not up to the King's standard, but still rather jolly.
A bird!
And quite a lot of colour.
It's a historic place, but then I suppose everywhere is, really. It's just not all mentioned in King David's Charter of 1128.
The world news is very depressing, but then there are flowers, such as this little bunch from the garden. And, this holiday weekend, a lovely visit from the UnBloggables, who had a nice time ice skating and going to the Minecraft movie with the Edinburgh Two on Saturday, and visiting the Edinburgh Two at home and then going to an adventure playground with friends on Sunday. We visited Saughton Park, but the playpark bit, this morning. And now they're away and I'm making choir arrangements.
So we just have to keep singing, keep gardening (haven't had time to get back to the quilt yet) and hope that someone, somewhere out there, will see sense.
I love your last paragraph--so very true. In my case, it's gardening, reading, walking and coffee dates, but we just have to keep going forward and HOPE that good sense will return. You are busy! I would be stressed at planning those events; I was nervous enough about mom's memorial. Grandchildren make everything special, don't they?
ReplyDeletePlanning three events at once seems superhuman - you must be very well organized. I am quietly stressed out by this country's political climate. My garden is my refuge.
ReplyDeleteTime doesn't hang on your hands, does it? All will be well.
ReplyDeleteLovely gardens.
I'm finding Trump, Gaza and now Pakistan/India all Too Much, so I'm strictly limiting my news viewing, and as soon as I hear, or see Trump, I take my hearing aid out. Was I"m totally deaf without them, it reduces the stress. There is nothing I can do, except pray, and choose which country's products I purchase. It's a minor inconvenience. For example, the grandchildren have not had Mandarines until last week when the NZ ones came into season. There are plenty of other fruit, and they haven't missed out on vitamins.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the various events organised satisfactorily and without too much stress. I'm not good at stress any more!
I'm thinking your events will be just right -- you amaze me with all the things that you manage at once. And how do you still find time to write posts? Just uploading the pictures would take me forever (but thank you for all the time you spend doing so -- I love reading your posts, even if I'm a terrible slacker and can't keep up with reading them as fast as you write them.)
