Looks like a night in the armchair. I was in bed asleep but I woke up and knew that was probably it for the night. So I’m now downstairs and have put pen to paper which is how I do my blog. I am really struggling at the moment – maybe I should request a call from my son although we did speak last weekend. I’m really missing my friends who have now departed from this life. I’m surprised that I am still alive and they are all gone… very very surprised.

I had a horrible nightmare this morning. I knew that I should just get up but I was tired. There were hundreds of large spiders that were practically invisible – you could just see a sort of shadow in a certain light. And they were multiplying really quickly. Aaaah!!

Really tired today and not done a lot. My neighbour is popping in to pick up a package but I am ready for bed anyway. Still several hours to go before sleep time but I’m looking forward to it already.

I have just ordered some more sports bras which are so much more comfortable than all those awful bras I used to wear. I always felt all strapped up. And these are much cheaper too. I also ordered some more no show socks. Great stuff.

I got up late this morning so I have only just finished doing the stuff I usually do on a Thursday morning. I went a little mad when I was ordering a black bag which I will need soon. I just spent more than I meant to. It arrived yesterday and I love it. Definitely worth every penny.

I have been somewhat preoccupied lately and only just realised I haven’t written my diary. Just had a slice of lemon tart. Not quite the name on the label but tasted good.

Having a good day today. I spent most of last night in the armchair, sometimes sleeping, but hoping l have a better night tonight. But you never know!

I usually read my New Statesman on a Saturday but somehow I find myself watching Jonathan Creek on the television. Oh well… I will see how it goes.

I was looking for clothes in plain black and ended up with quite a long black dress but I have been thinking that I don’t really feel happy in a dress without leggings or jeggings or something. I have now bought something more like me and today I sent the long dress back because it was exactly as received including the label. It’s a very long time, like many many years since I wore clothing without jeans or leggings or jeggings.

My friend gave me a bunch of lavender from her garden. It smells absolutely lovely and seems to go on and on!
