Thinking about you often with this situation. Super glad to hear you’re going to South America. Alone? One part of the world I’ve not visited. I’ve just booked a Greek island hopping jaunt beginning of June. Alone. Bit old for the full Shirley Valentine but you never know lol. Not going to use aloneness as an excuse to waste away the years I have remaining. So many places I still want to see.
Just to Galapagos. Always wanted to go and thought I’d treat myself for my 50th. End of April. Can only really take 8 days away, any longer wouldn’t be fair but yes completely, utterly and joyfully ALONE! Looking forward to giant tortoises, marine iguanas and practising my Spanish!
Oh Greek Islands would be fab! Always fancied Hydra, Santorini and Crete (and probably loads more too!)
I love the white buildings, roof cats….
Who knows what adventures await you Janette. Or me! Embrace them and good on you for booking it.x
Come on, who hasn’t lost their shit at a thrush once in a while? This was a perfect piece of kitchen sink realism with your trademark humour, balance and hope all thrown in as per. It softens my heart to the struggles we all face and nudges me to count my blessings. Thank you for giving so freely of yourself. I hope at least the universe will keep supplying you with replacement mugs. Roll on Springtime.
I know it’s a bit dark this post, but some mornings are like that, aren’t they?
We all have problems. That I’m certain of. Sometimes, just a change of problem would be nice wouldn’t it?
I didn’t tell the thrush to fuck off but I admit to yelling it at the smoke alarm loudly as I burnt my toast😂😂

This time Rhodes, Symi and Leros. The last 2 very tiny and laid back. Perfect.

🙂 Had to majorly hold back from squinting at that sweet cat. That was pure torture for me !😂😂
Gotta love a black cat. Had one that lived until 22! Was beginning to think she was immortal
Supposed to be lucky too. I’ll take it 🐈⬛ 🤞💫
Looks like a classic witch’s familiar. I had one of those adopt me once, though I’ll admit I didn’t put up much of a fight😺
I love reading your substack. I'm having a bit of a day , you take my mind off it with your words. We all have these days i guess.
Sorry to hear that Debbie. We do. And tomorrow it’s a whole new season. I’m holding on to that, hey?❤️
