returned! 20 December 2010
My dears, thanks to all who worried about where I was (especially Joyce and Mandy) and, more importantly( ?), how I was over the last wee while. No blogs = EH?? I succumbed, finally, to this dodgy year and had to take myself off-grid and go under the radar to be mended. Not like me, but had to be done. And now…I feel I may be on the return, though v v gently. Well, I’m still breathing which is as good a basis as any other for assuming I’m still ‘in it.’ I’m sleeping a LOT which, as you all know, is a most pleasurable thing for me, as well as how I deal with getting better. And I’m going out to buy candles later (yes, this is a very good sign, isn’t it!). Also the visiting feral cat, Shirley Cook, is back (after a spell off grid too = see? happens to the best of us) with her brother in tow, so cat food will also have to be purchased.
And I am in love with a black, patent leather, 60s handbag that my sis-in-law Rebecca got for me at a vintage sale…v v in love with it…and an icon made by Belorussian nuns who run a stall in Borough Market in London (they’re from Minsk). I know it may be a tad wrong to love inanimate objects but I just can’t help myself – they are v v beautiful, and benign. Unlike banks, for instance, or bailouts…so maybe I’m not on the actual highway to hell in a handcart just yet
