Today, for the first time, I want to!
My morning began at St Mary's Church where every Saturday the church is transformed into Churchmouse, a wonderful used book "store".
More than the books, it is a place to sit and talk, or to sit quietly and just be present.
Today, after choosing a few books, I sat at a round table that is "home" to the knitters. These women gather to knit and to visit and later to sell their beautiful creations. The money goes to Churchmouse, to be donated to three organizations that happen to be on my personal donation list!
The food bank at St John the Divine, Hospice and Threshold.
One of the women offered me a cookie that she had baked to share.
Later in the morning, I had planned to do some gardening with the help of a wonderful new acquaintance.
And then he texted that he wasn't able to come.
At first I was very disappointed, but soon moved on to see what I could do by myself on this beautiful warm and sunny day.
An aside...about 10 days ago I had been weeding in my small lane garden, crouching as I can't knell, and I fell backwards.
Really!!
( I quickly looked to be sure that no one had seen this inglorious tumble!)
It didn't seem like much, although several days later it warranted a visit to my physio.
Fall #2.
Going down the basement stairs, that injured side...knee/thigh...gave way with two steps remaining, and I fell onto the concrete basement floor.
Another visit to my caring health practitioners!
And today, feeling so much better, I said "to hell with it".
I worked/played in my garden for hours.
It was wonderful!
I've just put a bottle of Pinot Grigio into the freezer (with a timer set!) and decided it is time for an extra strength Tylenol .
