Spring Cleaning. . . . . . . . . . .


Sorry. . . . . . . life is empty.  
Busy, but void of fun things to post about this weekend!
I hope to bounce back soon.



P.S.   Today is Mother's Day in the UK - we called it Mothering Sunday 
when I was growing up there.   
A very happy Mother's Day to all my British friends who are mums.
Sadly for me, this year it falls on the 12th anniversary of my own lovely English 
mum's death. I sipped a glass of Harvey's Bristol Cream in her memory -
she and I enjoyed a tipple at the sherry bottle when I was home visiting! 
How I miss those days.

Decor Doldrums. . . . . . . .


Are you feeling like me these long dreary winter days?  
Completely in the *doldrums when it comes to redecorating, or even dusting 
for that matter! Do you like playing in your house, moving your collections 
around, changing up vignettes on tables and shelves, hanging your art on a 
different wall, moving the furniture about. . . . . . . anything to make your home
 a comfortable space for you?
I'm confessing right now - I'm not doing a thing when it comes to any of the 
above - including much housework, other than the truly necessary chores such 
as kitchen and bathrooms. The dust from the fireplace has dulled anything shiny. 
Spring cleaning is on my mind.
I look about the rooms and know I need some motivation. I'm hoping 
it might come today. With the weekend looking up weather wise, above 
freezing, sunshine, no rain, perhaps my energy will return. . . . . 
or I might just decide to take some time outdoors enjoying almost
Spring weather. Clocks go forward one hour here Saturday night.
My weekly schedule now includes two physiotherapy sessions in hopes 
my spine/leg problem will improve without having that nasty surgery any time soon. 
I will also be back to walking more once it's warmer, and I'm definitely thinking 
that some much missed antiquing needs to start up again. This weekend I hope to 
get over to Suzanna's Antiques watch this space for new treasures 
I'll share with you.


*doldrums ~ a state or period in which 
there is no activity or improvement. . .
