World Peace seemed a very unrealistic ideal, but what other option was there?

Two Forks and A Cloth

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

A fork both big and small

And a cloth to wrap them all.

Sad to say I need so much more

But to list them here would be such a bore.

Allotment of Life

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

Well I know the fashion is not to dig, but use layers of cardboard to insulate the soil and encourage the little critters that live in it to thrive while keeping weeds at bay.

But ….I like digging,it’s very therapeutic and experience has taught me that my kind of digging breaks up a clayey soil and with thorough weeding creates that loam that is ideal for starting seeds and growing on plants.

That and my foot action on the fork, it doesn’t take much pressure when you put the fork in at the right angle,so no need to do your back in. I do look out for worms though  and rescue them regularly as they are the powerhouses of my plot.

Digging has taught me a lot.

Belief

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Beliefs do sometimes beggar,

Who knows what’s true or not

We must never I think say never,

Or give up when we cannot

Follow a path we don’t understand,

And drop that crystal ball we carry in our hand.

To watch it shatter,our dreams within it held

Our future and senses relinquished and quelled.

For what does the future hold

That my friend is a story yet untold

I kind of miss ….

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

I do kind of miss when I was ten and my mum,my dad and my three brothers and sister all lived at home.

That was when everyone was beginning to go their separate ways.Until then,we were a functioning unit.

I suppose I knew it was ending and in truth never wanted to have to say goodbye…but I suppose I did…the child in me still feels the warmth of family life.

Don’t Listen to Advice

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Advice, a well meant shot,

At what you must and not

It can make life a bind

And to some is most unkind

Who knows what’s best for you

In truth, it’s up to you .

Nout

What bores you?

Nout bores me .How can you be bored when even your body( Yes I mean you!No matter what you think of your body) is an amazing being beyond human understanding despite our doctors best efforts.

There’s something out there I would never underestimate and to think life boring is nuts

Namaste and Thank you for reading.

Water flavoured with crushed juniper berries and my own mix of spices

What is your favorite drink?

Cold water,what a precious draft,and increasingly so for many.

Water at home has become a political volleyball with everyone arguing about profits,dividends and whether metering will work.Not to mention sewage.

For the moment though,the water comes out of the tap and to be honest tastes pretty good.

Our bills have gone up quite a lot,though I have it on good authority that they are worth querying. I doubt we will get around to it.If they connected us to the meter they have already supplied  we would save money.

Anyway add a fridge, juniper berries,and a few other spices infused for a short while. A sprig of rosemary and a slice of lemon and some good quality tonic water(most likely fever tree) and you have a delicious drink. I think.

Namaste and Thank you for Reading.
