I’m doing my normal thing and having a lazy two weeks as deadlines loom. I need the pressure. Even with pressure, I don’t always get on with it. I really should work out a way to write more.
The trouble with the diary format of blog is that it can only be as interesting as the life of the writer. One based round lifestyle or the discussion of issues might be more fun to write and would cover subjects of more interest. Later this week I will be going for a blood test and a face to face consultation at the hospital. It will be my first sight of a rheumatologist for over two years The blood test is tomorrow.
The birds have been going mad today. Blackbirds have been singing from TV aerials, sparrows have been very active (we don’t normally see many of them these days) , and magpies and pigeons have ben uncommonly trusting and have allowed us to get close to them. It was the same at the shop, where the jackdaws were very noisy this afternoon as we left. It might be the warm weather, or the closeness of the longest day.
So far, I have resisted temptation to become more active. I find it very easy to resist the temptation to be active. The temptation to eat and watch TV is much more difficult to avoid. That’s a place where I could use another comma. Without it, it sounds like my temptation is to both eat the TV and watch it. I of course, mean “eat, and watch TV”. Isn’t English strange?
I used the bee picture again – a symbol of activity.
Love that bee with his yellow pantaloons.
I’m not sure why inertia is so easy for most of us, and being productive takes so much work. That may be the dumbest thing ever written, but I am going to let it be. There is something in there that I have often puzzled over.
I didn’t think it was dumb. I was completely behind you until I read the next sentence, now confused as to why you think it is dumb. It is completely correct, and the difference puzzles me too. 🙂
Well, good. I’m glad you’re with me on it. Thank you.
It is not dumb. It is the truth.
Exactly!
Thanks, Lavinia. xo
You do manage to make your life interesting – believe it or not
How? No ponies, no cycling, no sunsets, no books – compare to you TP, Lavinia and Laurie I am very dull. I think you just like to see me swell up and rant. 🙂
You, dull? Never! 🙂
I fear I am. However, excitement isn’t always good, is it? 🙂
Quite true. 🙂
🙂
Good luck with the rheumatologist, Quercus. Two years is a long time. Hope all is well with the blood work.
I like the bumblebee photo. I saw some this evening working the comfrey and mustard blooms in the garden.
Bumblebees always make me smile. They are like winged teddy bears. Two years is fine as long as everything is going well – not looking forward to the crowds and the waiting on Friday. All those sick people!
