I Re: Living with Ourselves

[Adge]

Thanks @Zoe7 You've made a very good point...

When I was having regular (or frequent) dates, years ago - I went to new & unknown areas & restaurants, that I would have never gone to (otherwise).

Plus meeting new people is an excellent social opportunity, so I found it enjoyable & motivational.

Then when I became seriously dissilusioned with it, & stopped dating - I missed out on all those possible social opportunities.

Yes, I need a getaway from normal life too...

I'm seriously long-overdue for a holiday (of any sort).

From what I have seen over many months following you from the background (not in a stalkish way lol) you certainly need and deserve a holiday @Adge - where would you go if you could?

[Adge]

Well, I've always wanted to see the Pyramids in Egypt @Zoe7

I'm a big fan of ancient history, Egyptian, Greek, & Roman.

I'm not going to have the money for any trip like that in the forseeable future.

Plus apparently it's not safe over there, & it's very hot.

So I'll settle for any picturesque place with forest & nice views...

You'll have to come to Tassie then @Adge  The whole state is picturesque with forest and nice views

hello @Adge

I am pleased for you that your meeting with the lady went well...

talking about plants and bird life would have been relaxing for you...

Whether either of you decide to meet again will not change the fact that you made the effort and were rewarded with meeting someone new....

Hello @Zoe7

Great that you can do some gardening.,..

I have not been able to for months and will be some time yet..

I try not to look at what has died...overgrown...weeds ..

the garden beds are well spaced....back paddock is about 2 acres...the other 3 acres is where the house and gardens are....so having trees all around the borders and also separating the back paddock along with a gate...creates an illusion of large open garden when mowed...I don't feel so bad when I look at it that way...

We used to have a huge vegetable garden too...non existent now...still have some herbs around the place though...

Never mind...the day will come when I can get back into it again...

I got one load of washing done and then slow cooked morrocan lamb with vegetables and brown rice...

take care

hello @outlander

I hope that you are managing with having to shift your working times around...looking after family members too...

I do hope that you can plan a day in the near future where you tell your family that you have to have a day off....

get in your lovely automobile at dawn and drive where your heart takes you...

pack your camera....snap away at whatever you notice....

set up an album calling the day what you think best suits...

take care

hello @Former-Member

I understand that some days we have no words...

That can be a good thing...a time to save our energy...treasure the quiet and be gentle with ourselves....

take care
