1. Falling asleep at 7pm and waking up at 6.30am feeling as if I could have taken on a tiger. Not that I think it's right to attack endangered big cats, and I wouldn't have gone looking for a fight with a tiger -- but should one have started on me at 6.33am yesterday in my flat, I would not have confined myself to screeching to an unpredicatable companion 'Leave it aaht, 'e's not werfit', or tried to employ any Jedi mind-tricks.
2. Cherries from Aragon Farm in my lunchbox. Thanks, Skinner family. If you are driving between Sissinghurst and Biddenden, stop and buy some -- they are yum.
3. I don't do organising until something is lost or my filing cabinet threatens to burst. This sounds lazy, but it means that I spend less time tweaking elaborate filing systems and more time feeling satisfied after a huge clear-out. I went through the file marked 'Bills' and ditched final demands going back to 2003 (I never pay before a final demand because red is such a pretty colour).
Hello Clare,
ReplyDeleteI so much enjoy reading your blog. Life is wonderful, if only we stop for a second to smell the flowers!
Anyway, I have been tagged by Esther of the naturallynice blog, to play a "five things" in my fridge...closet...etc.game.
If you want to join, you may visit my blog and have a five minute silly brake. The post is on July 2nd.
Enjoy the day!

Hi Irene,
ReplyDeleteI'll play the game here rather than in the blog proper, as I'm have to be strict about only posting beautiful things and the odd announcement... So here goes:
Five things in my fridge
1. A bag of nail polish
2. A fridge thermometer
3. A bottle of apple juice (organic and local of course)
4. A cooling foot spray
5. Quarter of a lemon
Five things in my closet
1. A box of books for Amazon
2. Wrapping paper
3. An old stereo
4. A soup tureen full of incense resins
5. My orange shawl.
Five things in my handbag
1. My mobile
2. A torch
3. Lots of pens
4. A silver angel wing inscribed with a quote from Mae West: 'I generally avoid temptation, except when I can't resist it.'
5. My PDA.
Um, hovering doesn't do anything here. Do I need something magical? I'm in for the dancing cursors.
ReplyDeleteOh -- how annoying. Well a little bit of extra text pops up to explain my feelings about final demands: 'The only reason a supplier would be sending me a final demand is because they make it complicated to set up a direct debit -- Southern Water take note -- in which case they deserve not to be paid on time.'
ReplyDeleteClare,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the game with me!
Be happy,
Irene
