Five senses

Responding to Elease's blog about the five senses got me thinking. So here goes.

Touch - My New Memory Foam Pillow. God I'm in love with it. I'm not sure they are everyone's cup of tea but when my tired and weary head hits it late at night I don't want to ever leave it again. Such bliss and I sleep so well

Smell - fresh air. As winter is just around the corner, making to most of the weather whilst it is dry is a must. Nothing helps your overall well being than being outside. So after dinner I try and make the effort to wrap up and take a coffee down the garden and sit in our new seating area just for half an hour. I feel more refreshed to then tackle the next round of jobs.

Taste - M & M's peanut. Addicted is an understatement. I have to be careful especially if I'm at work and a little bored and needing a sugar boast as I could eat a whole bag in one go. Is that so bad?

See - my parents. They have been away for a fortnight on holiday and I collected them from the airport last night. It was so good to see them. Lots of catching up to be done

Hear - oh how I'd love to have perfect hearing again but unfortunately I am plagued by tinnitus. Constant ringing in my ears. Not great and incredibly frustrating.

Getting older

This evening Natasha came home from school and announced part of her history homework was to write ten timeline facts on an older person.

Assuming she would want to do someone in maybe their 60's or even older, she turned to me and said she wanted to do me!

I said, but honey I'm not exactly older, she replied you are, you are over 25!

I haven't even reached 40 yet and already I feel over the hill and in her eyes I am probably well on the way. Thanks sweetheart.

Oh and by the way ten facts isn't as easy as you'd think.

Photography

Last night saw the return of my photography lesson. I have 11 classes to take.

The first class is always to strangest, getting use to new people who are joining.

The class though is now full of middle age chaps who unfortunately believe they know everything (they probably do) so I feel very inadequate. I know I have a talent so I have to dig deep and put emotions to one side and remember I am there for my gain and no one else's and their opinions don't come into it unless they are welcomed and invite.

Autumn

It's on it's way.

I feel we have to say goodbye to a summer we haven't even had. The weather has been shocking, rain mostly every day through the summer months. I almost feel cheated. Surely we deserve a lovely warm, dry and sunny period.

After all it was summer.

Sutton on Sea 9th September 2012

Sunday was going to be an exceptional hot day for this time of the year so we packed the car up, picked Janice and Steve up and headed to the coast.

So glad we did.
