Wisdom, so obvious once read
It makes so much sense
Several times heard it said
Forgotten to one’s expense
Cliches are cliches because
Experiences made them true
Turn what one’s thinking of
Into something one can do
Travel along the world in wonder
It’s there for all to see
Love the skies one’s living under
Being as one should be

Today I’m feeling:
Woke up before my alarm with a sore neck but feeling set to go. We went to the city and ran around from here to there as Amy thought about what to buy next and we both got hungry and grumpy by about 11, in search of food we could agree to eat together. I ended up with a small satisfying fish burger from a stall near Sammakhi school, and Amy, krapao from another stall. Crisis averted.
Today I’m grateful for:
The gloves I bought a couple of months ago for use in the garden as today I could quickly pull out the grass growing around the ‘accidental’ cactuses growing in our concrete pot. Easy. Nearly all our concrete pots have things accidentally growing in them. Just things we throw out from the kitchen and one day sprout again.
The best thing about today was:
A big dinner with Nut and Bruno this evening. I was getting tired but then I realised that we’d been eating and talking for three hours already. Three pretty cats came scrounging for food, two heavily pregnant, one of them tiny and no more than six months old itself.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
When Amy saw me pulling grass and weeds up around the garden she suddenly decided that I could help her move some things for her home dinner party tomorrow. My plan was to go and play some guitar. Never mind. Amy wanted the sofa from Kim’s room moved into the classroom. I didn’t like being in Kim’s room again and have avoided it since April. We need to get everything out from there that reminds me of Kim. At the time, and even now, I feel on the verge of tears. It’s getting better and easier every day but it still cuts.
Something I learned today?
As mentioned above I found a shop where I can buy a cheap easy fish burger in the city in the future if I so desire.
