of the voluntary work of a daughter ....

the fascinating example of how one thing leads to another in a large ripple of opportunities. The extra curricular activities to give confidence and for us a purpose beyond what was happening until I nearly gave up ....

The lesser of me

the suggestion by sister if I starting running again, in a few months a difference would be seen quicker ... 

The damage in all that was, is. The stop in forward rolls, jumps, handstands, cartwheels, skipping, diving, rowing, swimming, cycling, hula, tennis, rounders, French cricket, badminton, ball games plenty, swing ball, fun runs all came to an eventual stand still in time ... Dancing too eventually and the workout within the home was pushed out including eventually the exercise bike ... 

a trek on a trail ...

Many seasons on thoughts of walks again afar. I finally achieved seven miles in one afternoon. We took the bus to Bodmin. And did this walk back from there, along a very familiar Camel Trail. It was cool weather which helped. The pleasant breeze whipping over the skin and through the hair, once again on a regular basis. 

Thy Busmans Break

stash busting in Our deceased fathers office. 

My quality time with kin working together in a more usual laborious task when someone passes away. 

And seeing the familiar views in between times

The next step will be revealed as time unfolds 

The Cornish Landscape

A very familiar seascape 

Ship wrecks ...light houses ... Rock pools ... Sand dunes ... Wind swept on a cliff ... Coves ... Caves ... Inlets ... The breeze on the water ... The colour of summer ... The misty gales  of winter with foamy waves crashing against the cliffs, are only a touch of what this cunningly deceptive county offers ... As bleak ... as it is stunning ... 

Leisure time

after the distasteful time in removal of yucky times in grime ... how did that happen ... Will now make way for I hope some pleasurable thoughts in time ... for a few weeks now at least ... 

The long tall ...

wind a down ... 

a pain for the task of overcoming much ... Like today I should a gone out ... this has just reminded me I better put my doctors date on the fridge ... my sister is on countdown ... Doing the many tasks in preparation for a hand that will be out of use while it heals  ... My assistance and much quality time together without going to work a while ... 

Fortunately she often works from home ... 

This has been set up too ... ready after the initial recuperating period ... with the necessary adjustments ... a lot of adaptions in life like Mum too coping with limited functions from disease attacking in the joints  ...

This current operation should ease movement in one particular bad joint on the left hand ... 

Plans to see

more of a country in glee.
The kid asking
where I like to be.
The suggestions few,

the environment in hues
colour and temperament too
A culture new ...?

A proper job

and the focus in the kitchen today ...

I have cleared the end counter of the odds and ends mainly, in this room, destined for the various functions elsewhere in the home. I have set up the grill my parents gave me. I usually like clear counters before that time ... I have a space in the first cupboard I did yonks ago, for that. I decided to leave it out a while, this time around. It is so versatile. It is a necessary evil, it is swift to do a meal for one.

I was in mind to look at the recipe booklet to do something different for a change.

I have missed messing around in the kitchen of what it is supposed to function for ... I will see how I cope with that ... out on the counter ...

I often wondered about design. I could design a good style kitchen to suit my individual needs and functions ...

The new kitchen to be of our daughters is reminiscent of my maternal grand parents ... mainly freestanding ... She is following the family tradition of hoping to live in a grade ll listed building ... with a more historical exterior as well as interior ... character with work in other words ... Although knowing my next generation they will probably get a dresser rather than finishing fitting it ...

My parents kitchen is a one off ... My Dad built it ... Only Mum has plans to renovate it into a different style ... including her dresser from the lounge, moving it into the kitchen instead ...

That dresser Dad renovated. The lady who he bought it off came to see his handiwork.

Many Tasks in May

many and many. I ripped out parts without a heart. The time not to be sentimental. This part not understood my therapy or anyone alike 

I am striving for the simple life back. The life of much ... with little ...
